Issue - meetings

Application for demolition of existing garage block and stables and the construction of three new dwellings with associated parking and turning facilities.

Late items received after preparation of main agenda:

Consultations:-

1.1.          Following receipt of additional drainage documents (para 8.33 of the report) the HBBC Drainage Consultant was again consulted and provided the following comments:

‘The additional details confirm that infiltration drainage via traditional soakaways is not feasible for this site, and proposes an alternative SuDS strategy which is acceptable in principle.

I would recommend the following drainage condition, along with guidance notes to applicant:

Development shall not begin until a scheme to provide a sustainable surface water drainage system in accordance with the Drainage Strategy (November 2022) has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, and the scheme shall subsequently be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is completed.

Notes to applicant:

The drainage scheme shall include a tanked permeable paving system to external parking areas in order to meet water quality requirements before discharging into the downstream system.

Details of a suitable outfall will be required, and any proposed works to a watercourse or field ditch may require consent from Leicestershire County Council under Section 23 of the Land Drainage Act 1991’.

Recommendation:-

1.2         The above proposed planning condition is therefore recommended to replace the existing Condition 5 related to surface water drainage details.

Application for demolition of existing garage block and stables and the construction of three new dwellings with associated parking and turning facilities.
