Appraisal

Highways

The applicant has provided full details of the proposed access layout serving the site, which has been subject to consultation with Leicestershire County Council (Highways). The proposed access serving the site would comply with the Leicestershire Highway Design Guide and subject to detailed design would be capable of adoption. Therefore subject to the imposition of conditions relating to parking, turning and site drainage, Leicestershire County Council (Highways) would have no objection to the proposed development. The proposal would therefore not result in any highway safety issues and would accord with Policies DM17 and DM18 of the SADMP.  

Drainage

During the course of the application further information was received which confirms that the proposed development would provide an acceptable and viable drainage strategy, with permeable paving which would be maintained to provide surface water drainage across the site. The Lead Local Flood Authority have reviewed this information and have no objections to the proposed development subject to the imposition of conditions, which relate to the management of surface water run off during construction, the submission of a detailed surface water drainage scheme, a long term maintenance scheme for the proposed Sustainable urban Drainage system and infiltration testing. The proposal would not therefore create or exacerbate flooding and is considered to accord with Policy DM7 of the SADMP.

11        Recommendation

11.1     Grant planning permission subject to the following conditions:

Amend condition 2 to the following:-

The approved details shall be implemented and completed prior to first occupation of the development. 

Reason: To demonstrate that the site is suitable for the use of infiltration techniques as part of the drainage strategy to accord with Policy DM7 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPD.

Additional notes to applicant:

4.         If there are any works proposed as part of an application which are likely to affect flows in a watercourse or ditch, then the applicant may require consent under Section 23 of The Land Drainage Act 1991. This is in addition to any planning permission that may be granted. Guidance on this process and a sample application form can be found at the following: http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/Flood-risk-management.

5.         Maintenance, Please note, it is the responsibility of the Local Planning Authority under the DEFRA/DCLG legislation (April 2015) to ensure that a system to facilitate the future maintenance of SuDS features can be managed and maintained in perpetuity before commencement of the works.

6.         The scheme shall include the utilisation of holding sustainable drainage techniques with the incorporation of sufficient treatment trains to maintain or improve the existing water quality; the limitation of surface water run-off to equivalent greenfield rates; the ability to accommodate surface water run-off on-site up to the critical 1 in 100 year return period event plus an appropriate allowance for climate change, based upon the submission of drainage calculations; and the responsibility for the future maintenance of drainage features.

7.         Full details for the drainage proposal should be supplied, including but not limited to, headwall details, pipe protection details (e.g. trash screens), long sections and full model scenarios for the 1 in 1, 1 in 30 and 1 in 100 year plus climate change.

8.         Details should demonstrate how surface water will be managed on site to prevent an increase in flood risk during the various construction stages of development from initial site works through to completion. This shall include temporary attenuation, additional treatment, controls, maintenance and protection. Details regarding the protection of any proposed infiltration areas should also be provided.

9.         Details of the SuDS Maintenance Plan should include for routine maintenance, remedial actions and monitoring of the separate elements of the system, and should also include procedures that must be implemented in the event of pollution incidents within the development site.
