Dear Tina
Re: PA/16/01013/A - Approval in principle for residential development, 31-39 South Quay Douglas Isle Of Man IM1 5AX
Manx Utilities Authority has assessed the above planning application requests that you submit a Flood Risk Statement due to the proposed development being within existing flood zone.
The statement should include details of safe access routes and a list of precautionary measures being taking to limit damage within the property in the event of a flooding incident. Such measures should include ensuring that all electric points are located above the predicted floor levels, provision for flood boards are made and non-return valves installed on any foul and surface water drains.
Further information to assist with flood preparation can be found on our website using the following link:- https://www.manxutilities.im/your-home/watercourses-and-flooding/be-flood-prepared/ Manx Utilities also recommends that no apartments be placed at ground floor level where they would be vulnerable to a flooding event.
If you require any additional clarification of the above then please contact me on my direct line 695968.
Yours Sincerely
Andrew Kneen
Project Support Officer
