Informatives
Environment Agency
Environmental permit – advice to applicant
The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 require a permit or exemption to be obtained for any activities which will take place:
• on or within 8 metres of a main river (16 metres if tidal)
• on or within 8 metres of a flood defence structure or culverted main river (16
metres if tidal)
• on or within 16 metres of a sea defence
• involving quarrying or excavation within 16 metres of any main river, flood
defence (including a remote defence) or culvert
• in the floodplain of a main river if the activity could affect flood flow or storage
and potential impacts are not controlled by a planning permission
The applicant should not assume that a permit will automatically be forthcoming once planning permission has been granted, and we advise them to consult with us at the earliest opportunity.
Flood resistance and resilience – advice to LPA/applicant
We strongly recommend the use of flood resistance and resilience measures. Physical barriers, raised electrical fittings, and special construction materials are just some of the ways you can help reduce flood damage.
To find out which measures will be effective for this development, please contact your building control department. In the meantime, if you’d like to find out more about reducing flood damage, visit the flood risk and coastal change pages of the planning practice guidance.

The applicant/occupants should phone Floodline on 0345 988 1188 to register for a
flood warning, or visit https://www.gov.uk/sign-up-for-flood-warnings. It’s a free service that provides warnings of flooding from rivers, the sea and groundwater, direct by telephone, email or text message. Anyone can sign up.
Flood warnings can give people valuable time to prepare for flooding – time that allows them to move themselves, others and precious/sensitive items to safety. Flood warnings can also save lives and enable the emergency services to prepare and help communities.

Yorkshire Water
1.) The submitted 'Flood Risk Assessment' 45086-001 prepared by Eastwood, dated June 2020 is acceptable. In summary, the report states that Foul water will discharge to public foul water sewer. A watercourse exists near to the site - surface water will discharge to this subject to approval by appropriate governing body.
2.) Development of the site should take place with separate systems for foul and surface water drainage. The separate systems should extend to the points of discharge to be agreed.
a.) The developer is required to consult with Yorkshire Water's Trade Effluent team (telephone 03451 242424) on any proposal to discharge trade effluent to the public sewer network.
b.) Foul water from kitchens and/or food preparation areas of any restaurants and/or
canteens etc. must pass through a fat and grease trap of adequate design before any discharge to the public sewer network.
3.) Under the provisions of section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991 it is unlawful to pass into any public sewer (or into any drain or private sewer communicating with the public sewer network) any items likely to cause damage to the public sewer network interfere with the free flow of its contents or affect the treatment and disposal of its contents. Amongst other things this includes fat, oil, nappies, bandages, syringes, medicines, sanitary towels and incontinence pants. Contravention of the provisions of section 111 is a criminal offence.
4.) If provision for emptying any swimming pool is to be made (e.g. for maintenance or repair etc.) then this must not be discharged to a public surface water sewer. To prevent overloading of the public foul or combined sewer network, any such discharge must be at a controlled rate that does not exceed 2 litres per second. For such discharges from public and/or commercial etc. swimming pools, a trade effluent consent - that may be conditional and place a restriction on the rate of discharge to public sewer - may be required. The developer is advised to contact Yorkshire Water's Industrial Waste Section (telephone 0345 1242424) about any such proposal.
5.) It is noted from the submitted planning application that surface water is proposed to be drained to watercourse - Yorkshire Water fully endorse this means of surface water disposal.
a.) The developer should note that further restrictions on surface water disposal from the site may be imposed by other parties. The developer is strongly advised to seek
advice/comments from the Environment Agency/Land Drainage Authority/Internal Drainage Board with regard to surface water disposal from the site. The landowners’ consent will be required for the construction of a new outfall structure.
b.) As surface water from the site is not proposed to discharge to the public sewer network, no assessment of the capacity of the public sewers to receive surface water has been undertaken. Should the surface water disposal proposals change, further consultation with Yorkshire Water will be required.
POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The applicant and the Local Planning Authority engaged in pre application discussions to consider the development before the submission of the planning application. The application was further amended during the application process. It was considered to be in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework.
