Agenda with Maps and Applications (21Mb) - pdf - Selby District ...

The proposed development will only be acceptable if the measures
detailed in the Flood Risk Assessment by ARP Associates, dated April
2012 are implemented and secured by way of a planning condition.
The applicants have provided no information relating to foul drainage
proposals for the scheme and we will assume they will be connecting
foul drainage to mains, if this is not the case the Environment Agency
would wish to be re-consulted.
1.4.10 Yorkshire Water Services Ltd
No objections subject to conditions being attached in order to protect
the local aquatic environment and Yorkshire Water Infrastructure. In
order to minimise the risk of any loss of amenity, industry standards
recommend that habitable building should not be located within 15m of
the existing outfall structures and to reduce the impact of the
installations the erection (by the developer) of suitable screening is
advised.
The local public sewer network does not have capacity to accept any
discharge of surface water from the proposal. The developer is advised
to contact the relevant drainage authorities with a view to establish a
suitable watercourse for the disposal of surface water.
A water supply can be provided under the terms of the Water Industry
Act 1991.
1.4.11 Selby Area Internal Drainage Board
Details on the application form indicate that surface water is to be
directed to an existing watercourse. The developer will need to be
informed that discharge into any watercourse within the Selby Area
Internal Drainage Boards district will need consenting by them.
In this respect the developer must also be advised that surface water
entering any watercourse within the Selby Area Internal Drainage
Board’s area has to be restricted to a maximum rate of 1.4 litres per
second per hectare. In addition the Board’s consent will need to be
obtained for new outfalls to any watercourse.
No permanent work or restriction will be permitted within 7m of the
watercourse measured from the top edge of the bank to ensure the
Board’s right of access.
It is essential the developer discusses in detail the method and rate of
disposal of surface water run-off from the development. Surface water
from the site will eventually enter systems maintained by the Internal
Drainage Board. Subject to the Council including a condition with
respect to the above it is unlikely the Internal Drainage Board would
pass any other comment.
