carried out in accordance with the measures set out in the Flood Risk
Assessment.
2.14.20 Having taken into account the impact on flooding as set out above it is
considered that the proposals satisfy the sequential and exceptions
test and demonstrates that the development would be appropriately
flood resilient and resistant, residual flood risk can be safely managed
and demonstrates that flood risk elsewhere should not be increased by
the proposals. The proposals are therefore considered acceptable in
terms of flood risk in accordance with Policy SH/1B of the Selby District
Local Plan, Policy ENV1 of the RSS and the requirements of the
NPPF.
Drainage
2.14.21 Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan outlines that in considering proposals
the District Council will take account of:
3) The capacity of local services and infrastructure to serve the
proposal, or the arrangements to be made for upgrading, or
providing services and infrastructure;
2.14.22 At the site specific level, SHB/1B states that proposals must make
provision for:
4) A surface water drainage scheme.
5) Reinforcement of the water supply main from South Milford
pumping station.
2.14.23 In terms of drainage then the “Approved Development Brief” for the
wider site from 2003, notes that surface water should drain to the onsite
watercourses. Furthermore flow attenuation should be utilised,
including balancing areas, which should form an integral part of the
existing site water features, where this is compatible with their existing
drainage function and that where SUDS is not feasible, filtered surface
water run off should be discharged directly to watercourses. The
Development Brief also notes that foul water should be pumped to the
Yorkshire Water pumping station on Moor Lane and that although this
would result in an increase in the volume of treated effluent discharge
from the works “the impact of this has been assessed and the receiving
watercourse has capacity to accommodate these increased flows”, The
Brief also states that the “detailed design should seek to enhance the
landscape and ecological value of the water features.”.
2.14.24 Yorkshire Water have been consulted and they have confirmed that a
water supply can be provided to the site and that they have no
objections to the methods of foul and surface water disposal subject to
conditions and informatives being attached to any permission granted.
