Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways:- seeking further information following receipt of the application; seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application and the completion of a s.106 legal agreement In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
The applicants attention is drawn to the existence of an agreement made under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and the restrictions imposed therein.
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”) that development may not begin unless: - A Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority; and - The planning authority has approved the plan. Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the biodiversity gain plan must include: a) Information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat; b) Completed metric tool calculation; c) The pre-development biodiversity plan and value of the onsite habitat; d) The post-development biodiversity plan and value of the onsite habitat; e) Any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development, including register reference numbers, and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development; f) Proof of purchase for any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and g) Any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify. Advice about how to prepare a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a template can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/submit-a-biodiversity-gain-plan.
Before undertaking any work on site, all applicants must determine if Severn Trent has any assets in the vicinity of the proposed works. This can be done by accessing our records at www.digdat.co.uk Severn Trent Water advise that even if our statutory records do not show any public sewers within the area you have specified, there may be sewers that have been recently adopted under The Transfer of Sewer Regulations 2011. Our records indicate that there are no assets that may be affected by this proposal, however it is the duty of the site owner to confirm this is the case before any work takes place. Public sewers and Water mains have statutory protection and may not be built close to, or diverted without consent, consequently you must contact Severn Trent Water to discuss your proposals. Severn Trent will seek to assist you obtaining a solution which protects both the public sewer and the proposed building.
The proposed connection to the culverted watercourse will require Ordinary Watercourse Land Drainage Consent. This consent must be approved prior to any works commencing on site. The consent is obtained from the Engineering Section. Please contact Debbie.bowen@wychavon.gov.uk for guidance notes and an application form.
