The 13 August notification is a decision to grant, explicitly not final permission. New warehouse and depot works are distinct from existing works sought for retention. The December site drawing is historical and subject to July FI and the decision conditions.
Decision covers new warehouse works and a separate retention scope
Decision to grant new and retained works; final grant not established
What the evidence says
The August notice describes a new 10,000 m² warehouse, administration and truck facilities, drainage infrastructure and two firefighting water-storage tanks. It separately describes retention of existing wash-bay, temporary office, septic, shed, tank and yard works. The decision expressly says it is not a grant of permission and that work must not start before permission is granted.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Warehouse, yard and service suppliers should separate proposed construction from existing facilities and qualify mobilisation against final permission.
What is not established
Final grant, commencement and a reconciled inventory of new versus retained equipment are not established.

R505 resurfacing is required before other site works
Council conditions on access works and road safety
What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires full-carriageway resurfacing for 20 m in each direction at the main entrance and at the second garage/store, fuel and tyre-shed entrance before any other site works. It requires agreed road details and a Road Opening Licence. The decision also calls for a Stage 3 road-safety audit.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and haulage teams need the highway agreement and early resurfacing sequence in the mobilisation plan.
What is not established
Accepted road details, Road Opening Licence, completed resurfacing and accepted road-safety audit are not established.

Drainage requires further redesign despite the submitted biodiversity system
Original drawing provides historical context; the August conditions govern further design
What the evidence says
The original site drawing places a surface-water biodiversity area beside the R505. Condition 8 requires the basins to be relocated sufficiently from the road and requires revised levels, sections and connections. It specifies a full-retention interceptor, treatment through the biodiversity area and a controlled outfall to the existing open drain. Revised calculations must include 30% climate-change and 10% urban-creep allowances.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil, drainage and landscape suppliers need a coordinated revised system rather than assume the original basin location and calculations are accepted.
What is not established
Accepted revised basin location, hydraulic calculations, interceptor and flow-control specifications and outfall details are not established.

Drainage audits and certification control commencement and occupation
Drainage design and phased handover conditions
What the evidence says
Condition 8 requires a Stage 1 storm-water audit, a Stage 2 detailed-design audit and an agreed maintenance plan before commencement. Each phase needs completion certification and a Stage 3 storm-water audit before occupation. These conditions remain requirements rather than evidence that the design or works have been accepted.
Why it may matter — interpretation
Designers, contractors and operators need independent review and certification included in the programme and drainage handover scope.
What is not established
Accepted audits, maintenance agreement, as-built certification and completed drainage works are not established.
