No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
| The applicant should be aware that polluting the nearby watercourse, for instance by allowing the discharge of sediment rich runoff from the construction site, might constitute an environmental offence. The applicant is expected to fully assess the risks from all pollution sources and pathways and take sufficient precautionary measures to mitigate these risks for this development. |
| STW Informative: Planning Practice Guidance and section H of the Building Regulations 2010 detail surface water disposal hierarchy. The disposal of surface water by means of soakaways should be considered as the primary method. If this is not practical and there is no watercourse available as an alternative, other sustainable methods should also be explored. If these are found unsuitable satisfactory evidence will need to be submitted before a discharge to the public sewerage system is considered. No surface water to enter the foul or combined water systems by any means. |
