Informatives
Drainage:
In order to discharge condition (drainage details), the applicant is advised that they would be expected to submit information including but not limited to the following:
1. Surface water drainage plans should include the following:
? Rainwater pipes, gullies and drainage channels including cover levels.
? Inspection chambers, manholes and silt traps including cover and invert levels.
? Pipe sizes, pipe materials, gradients and flow directions.
? Soakaways, including size and material.
? Typical inspection chamber / soakaway / silt trap and SW attenuation details.
? Site ground levels and finished floor levels.
2. Surface Water Discharge From Brownfield Site:
There should be no increase in surface water discharge from the site to existing sewers / watercourses. On site surface water attenuation will therefore be required if drained areas to existing sewers / watercourses are to be increased.
A 30% net reduction to existing peak discharge (up to a 1/100 yr storm + 40% CC) will be required if the site is being re-developed. A full justification will be required where the development cannot achieve the 30% betterment on the existing run-off rate.
3. On Site Surface Water Management:
The site is required to accommodate rainfall volumes up to 1 in 100 year return period (plus climate change) whilst ensuring no flooding to buildings or adjacent land.
The applicant will need to provide details and calculations including any below ground storage, overflow paths (flood routes), surface detention and infiltration areas etc. to demonstrate how the 100 year + 40% CC rainfall volumes will be controlled and accommodated.
Where cellular storage is proposed and is within areas where it may be susceptible to damage by excavation by other utility contractors, warning signage should be provided to inform of its presence. Cellular storage and infiltration systems should not be positioned within highway.
Guidance on flood pathways can be found in BS EN 752.
4. If infiltration systems are to be used for surface water disposal, the following information must be provided:
• Ground percolation tests to BRE 365.
• Ground water levels records. Minimum 1m clearance from maximum seasonal groundwater level to base of infiltration compound. This should include assessment of relevant groundwater borehole records, maps and on-site monitoring in wells.
• Soil / rock descriptions in accordance with BS EN ISO 14688-1:2002 or BS EN ISO 14689-1:2003
• Volume design calculations to 1-in 100-year rainfall + 40% climate change standard. An appropriate factor of safety should be applied to the design in accordance with CIRIA C753 – Table 25.2.
• Location plans indicating position (Soakaways serving more than one property must be located in an accessible position for maintenance). Soakaways should not be used within 5m of buildings or the highway or any other structure.
• Drawing details including sizes and material.
• Details of a sedimentation chamber (silt trap) upstream of the inlet should be included.
Soakaway detailed design guidance is given in CIRIA Report 753, CIRIA Report 156 and BRE Digest 365.
5. Written evidence is required from the LLFA / sewerage undertaker / Internal Drainage Board to confirm any adoption agreements and discharge rates.
6. All Micro Drainage calculations and results must be submitted in .MDX format, to the LPA. (Other methods of drainage calculations are acceptable)
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
Please note that under the new Environment Act 2021 all new planning permissions granted will have to deliver 10% biodiversity net gain from April 2024. It is acknowledged that this requirement is not currently in place however in anticipation of the new regulations all future applications should provide a completed biodiversity net gain metric and in line with Policy SP33 should demonstrate no net loss as a minimum with a demonstration of 10% net gain preferred. The full Biodiversity Metric 3.1 spreadsheet in Excel format will need to be provided to the Local Planning Authority for assessment.
Positive and Proactive Statement
Whilst the applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority, the proposals were in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and did not require any alterations or modification.
