Late items received after publication of agenda:

 

Consultations:-

 

1.1.    Following deferment of the application from the committee meeting of 25th October, further discussions have taken with the applicants and local residents, resulting in the amended scheme as detailed in the main report. As a result of ongoing discussions it is proposed to amend the wording of condition 9 relating to the submission of a detailed foul and surface water drainage schemes for the proposed development, to include details of the maintenance of the approved drainage scheme.

 

Recommendation:-

 

1.2.    The recommendation of approval remains; however proposed condition 9 relating to drainage is amended to ensure the issue of maintenance of the drainage scheme is included in the details to be submitted. The condition would therefore be as follows:

 

“9. No development shall take place until drainage plans for the disposal of surface water and foul sewage from the development, together with future maintenance of the scheme have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details before the development is first brought into use.

 

Planning Practice Guidance and section H of the Building Regulations 2010 detail surface water disposal hierarchy. The disposal of surface water by means of soakaways should be considered as the primary method. If this is not practical and there is no watercourse is available as an alternative other sustainable methods should also be explored. If these are found unsuitable, satisfactory evidence will need to be submitted, before a discharge to the public sewerage system is considered. No surface water to enter the foul system by any means.

 

Reason: To ensure that the development is provided with a satisfactory means of drainage as well as reduce the risk of creating or exacerbating a flooding problem and to minimise the risk of pollution in accordance with Policy DM7 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016).”
