Reason To safeguard the amenities of the occupiers of nearby properties in accordance with RMBC Policy SP52 and parts 12 & 15 of the NPPF. Yorkshire Water 11 The site shall be developed with separate systems of drainage for foul and surface water on and off site. The separate systems should extend to the points of discharge to be agreed. Reason In the interest of satisfactory and sustainable drainage. 12 Surface water run-off from the forecourt of petrol stations, areas used for the delivery of fuel, areas used for and immediately adjacent to vehicle washing facilities and/or other similar areas where detergent is likely to be used shall not discharge to any public surface water sewer network. Surface water from such areas must pass through an oil, petrol and grit interceptor/separator of adequate design that has been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, before discharge to the public foul or combined sewer network. Reason To prevent pollution of the aquatic environment and protect the public sewer network. 13 There shall be no piped discharge of surface water from the development prior to the completion of surface water drainage works, details of which will have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. If discharge to public sewer is proposed, the information shall include, but not be exclusive to:- a) evidence to demonstrate that surface water disposal via infiltration or watercourse are not reasonably practical; b) evidence of existing positive drainage to public sewer and the current points of connection; and c) the means of restricting the discharge to public sewer to the existing rate less a minimum 30% reduction, based on the existing peak discharge rate during a 1 in 1 year storm event, to allow for climate change. Reason To ensure that no surface water discharges take place until proper provision has been made for its disposal and in the interest of sustainable drainage. Tree protection 14 The construction of the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Arboricultural Method Statement (AMS) and Tree Protection Plan (TPP) (ref WC-356.1a Woodsage Consulting, 21st February 2025) unless otherwise agreed in writing. Reason In order to safeguard the existing boundary trees and onsite green infrastructure. Landscaping 15 Before the development is brought into use, a Landscape scheme, showing location and types of landscape treatment, shall be submitted for approval by the Local Planning Authority. The Landscape scheme should be prepared in accordance with RMBC Landscape Design Guide (April 2014) and shall be implemented in the next available planting season and maintained to ensure healthy establishment. Any plants dying, removed or destroyed within five years of planting shall be replaced the following planting season. Reason In the interests of sustainable development and to ensure satisfactory replacement landscaping provision. Biodiversity Net Gain 16 No development shall commence until a Biodiversity Enhancement & Management Plan (BEMPs) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The Plans shall provide a: i) Description and evaluation of features to be managed and enhanced; including a) Description of new landscape planting incorporating native plant species b) The location and number of bird nest boxes should be integrated into the new residential properties. ii) Extent and location/area of proposed enhancement works on appropriate scale maps and plans; iii) Aims and Objectives of management; iv) Appropriate Management Actions for achieving Aims and Objectives; v) An annual work programme (to cover an initial 5 year period); For each of the first 5 years of the Plans, a progress report shall be sent to the Local Planning Authority reporting on progress of the annual work programme and confirmation of required Actions for the next 12 month period. The Plans shall be reviewed and updated every 5 years to ensure their aims and objectives are being met. The approved Plans will be implemented in accordance with the approved details. The approved details thereafter shall be implemented, retained and maintained for their designed purpose in accordance with the approved scheme. Reason The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition (the biodiversity gain condition), to ensure Biodiversity Net Gain. Informatives South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue 01 The applicant is reminded that before any work is undertaken in and around the hazardous zones must comply with the Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations 2014. ‘Any guidance can be found in the APEA (Association for Petroleum and Explosives Administration) Blue Book 5th edition. This book is ‘the bible’ for any work on or around petrol filling stations. Before any proposed works commence on site, the contractors must provide SYFR suitable risk assessment method statements (RAMS) for SYFR consideration.’ Yorkshire Water 02 1) The layout details submitted on drawing ‘site plan-as proposed' 24055D-10 (revision P08) dated 26/09/25 that has been prepared by ADP is acceptable for the purposes of sewer stand-off distances. 2) However, on that same drawing, it is unclear how surface water will be drainage from the sites. The following point(s) should be addressed: a.) evidence should be submitted to show that other (than discharge to public sewer) means of surface water disposal have been considered and why they have been discounted b.) the submitted drawing should show foul and surface water drainage proposals both on and off site c.) evidence of existing impermeable areas positively draining to the public sewer is required to prove rate of discharge d.) the submitted drawing should show surface water storage and flow control rate 3.) It is imperative that surface water run-off from the forecourt of petrol stations, areas used for the delivery of fuel, areas used for and immediately adjacent to vehicle washing facilities and/or other similar areas where detergent is likely to be used is not discharged to any public surface water sewer network. Surface water from such areas must pass through an oil, petrol and grit interceptor/separator of adequate design before discharge to the public foul or combined sewer network. a.) It is good drainage practice for any interceptor/separator to be located upstream of any on-site balancing, storage or other means of flow attenuation that may be required. 4.) The developer is proposing to discharge surface water to public sewer however, sustainable development requires appropriate surface water disposal. a.) Yorkshire Water promote the surface water disposal hierarchy and the developer must provide evidence to demonstrate that surface water disposal via infiltration or watercourse are not reasonably practical before considering disposal to public sewer. b.) The developer and LPA are strongly advised to seek comments on surface water disposal from other drainage bodies as further restrictions may be imposed. c.) As a last resort, and upon receipt of satisfactory evidence to confirm the reasons for rejection of other methods of surface water disposal, curtilage surface water may discharge to public surface water sewer. Surface water discharges to the public sewer must have a minimum of 30% reduction based on the existing peak discharge rate during a 1 in 1 yearstorm event. d.) The developer will be required to provide evidence of existing positive drainage to a public sewer from the site to the satisfaction of Yorkshire Water and the Local Planning Authority by means of physical investigation. On-site attenuation, taking into account climate change, will be required before any discharge to the public sewer network is permitted. Positive and Proactive Statement Whilst the applicant did not enter into any pre application discussions with the Local Planning Authority for this development, the proposals were in accordance with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework and following the clarifications and amendments to show the exact location and safeguarding of sewer infrastructure did not require any further alterations or modification.
