Dear Sirs,

Planning Application

PA 10/01080/B- Erection of a dwelling (comprising amendments to dwelling approved under PA 09/01335B), 27 Knock Rushen Scarlett Road, Castletown.

The Drainage Division of the Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority has assessed the above planning application and would like to submit the following comments to your Planning Committee.

No Objection subject to the following conditions:-

1. The proposed dwelling must be connected to the public sewer(s) in a manner acceptable to the Isle of Man Water & Sewerage Authority, Drainage Division. All drainage works must conform to the requirements of the Department of Transport's "Manx Sewers for Adoption" and all necessary inspections/surveys [including CCTV] are to be carried out at the developer's expense.

In accordance with the Sewerage Act 1999, a communication fee will be payable to the Isle of Man Water & Sewerage Authority in respect of this property being connected (directly or indirectly) to the public drainage system.

Note: Under section 4(3) of the Sewerage Act 1999 the applicant must give 21 days notice, in writing, to the Drainage Division, prior to making any communication to the public sewer. The applicant is therefore advised to contact the Development Control section of the Division to discuss this matter.

1. There must be NO discharge of surface water (including that from roofs and paved areas) from this proposed development to any foul drainage system(s) so as to comply with the requirements of the Isle of Man Water & Sewerage Authority, Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999.

The application states that the surface water from the proposed development is to be discharged to the "existing drainage". If this "existing drainage" discharges (directly or indirectly) to the foul sewerage system then it should be noted that an alternative means of surface water disposal must be provided.
