Land Forming Part Of And To The Rear Of Wilson & Collins Balthane Industrial Estate Balthane Ballasalla
The application sought permission to erect a further block of nine industrial and storage units at land to the rear of Wilson and Collins Ltd within Balthane Industrial Estate. The existing units on the site are not readily visible from the estate road, but the site has been developed in a satisfactory manner, and the new units were proposed to follow the same approach. Conditions were attached covering drainage requirements, including connection to the public foul sewer on terms agreed with the Department of Transport Drainage Division, and measures to prevent polluting matter entering watercourses.
Conditions were imposed to manage drainage and surface water pollution.
Condition 1
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Condition 2
This approval relates to the plans and information submitted as part of this application and date stamped 2nd April 2004.
Condition 3
The proposed development must be connected to the public foul sewer in a manner acceptable to the Department of Transport Drainage Division and on terms and conditions, which must be agreed with the Division PRIOR to the commencement of any building works. All drainage works must conform to the requirements of the Department of Transports "Manx Sewers for Adoption" and all necessary inspections/surveys [including CCTV] are to be carried out at the developer's expense. It is also a legal requirement under the Sewerage Act 1999 that the Department (as the drainage authority) be advised, in advance, of the date of the connection of each storage unit to the public sewer(s). NOTE: Communication Fees will be payable to the Department of Transport in respect of each of the nine storage units.)
Condition 4
There must be no discharge of surface water to the main foul sewer.
Condition 5
The use of the proposed units must be restricted to dry industrial processes only. The only discharges which will be accommodated in the public foul sewer at this time, are domestic (only) sewerage from WC's and canteens. NOTE It should be noted that it is an offence under Manx legislation to permit the discharge of polluting or harmful matter to any public sewers or watercourses. Appropriate measures such as the installation of petrol/oil interceptors on the surface water system must be taken by the developer/occupier of the premises to ensure compliance with the legislation. NOTE The applicant is advised that no further discharges of surface water from additional phases of this development will be permitted into the public surface water sewer until such time as a surface water attenuation scheme has been submitted and assessed by the Drainage Division.
