Woodlands Utilities (electricity/ gas) spruce. Some of the spruce trees could be cleared from the site. The site is an orchard but appears to be poorly maintained and is overgrown. If this site is considered to be a traditional orchard then then government guidance suggests the aim should be to retain and restore the damson trees. Gas- No capacity issues have been identified. It should be possible to supply sites on an individual basis from the existing low pressure system. However, to provide a firm response detailed information is required. Utilities (Sewerage/ drainage) Utilities Electricity- ENWL has a commitment to provide an electricity supply to new build development. ENWL determine the cost of connection and the developer would be expected to contribute part or all of this cost. Sites closer to sub-stations and existing developments are likely to result in lower connection costs. Further information is required to provide a detailed response. Environment agency will require connection to the main sewer if available. They will want to avoid seepage of chemicals from sewer systems which could ultimately affect the water quality No water supply or capacity issues have been identified.
