Dear Sir,

23 June 2005

PA 05/1045/B – Erection of a agricultural building, Ballakilpheric Farm Colby, Rushen.

The plans for the proposed development have been inspected and the Drainage Division of the Department of Transport requests that the following comment(s) be passed to your Planning Committee: -

NO OBJECTION In principle subject to: -

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 proposed development 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 this application is approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notice. Yours faithfully,

Ian Wade Assistant Engineer Development Control
