·         that relevant conditions reflect the requirements of the emerging Climate Emergency Review of the Local Plan Development Plan Documents (DPDs) should it be adopted before the completion of the s106;

·         and subject to a s106 agreement to secure an area of land for dedication as highway to provide a vehicular link to Imperial Road;
