Dear Sirs,

Planning Application

PA 09/1485/B – Extension to existing conservatory, 85 King Edward Road, Onchan.

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 (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 Department of Transport 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.

There are no known existing surface water sewers within the area. The applicant is required to establish where the existing surface water from the property is disposed and discuss this matter with the Drainage Division prior to work commencing on site.

Note: The applicant is requested to supply the Division a copy of any Building Control Application in relation to the surface water discharge from this development.

In the event that these applications are approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notices.

Yours faithfully, Lefin Kneen John Kneen Development Control Technician.
