Dear Sirs,
Planning Application
PA 09/035/B – Construction of front porch and installation of replacement windows, Ballavayre Farm Ballakilpheric Road Colby, Rushen.
The Drainage Division of the Department of Transport 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:-
There must be NO discharge of surface water (directly or indirectly) from this proposed development to any foul drainage system(s) so as to comply with the requirements of the Department of Transport Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999.
It is noted that the surface water from the property is to be discharged via a soakaway. The use of soakaways are subject to Building Control approval and if this approval is not granted, the Drainage Division would not give permission for the discharge of surface water into the existing foul system and an alternative means of disposal would have to be sought.
In the event that these applications are approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notices.
Yours faithfully,
John Kneen
John Kneen Development Control Technician.
