Dear Sirs,
PA 07/1225/B – Re-positioning of detached garage on approved dwelling PA 04/01591B, Plot 3 - The Creggans Ramsey Road, Laxey.
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 in principle, 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.
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 this application is approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notice. Yours faithfully,
John Kneen Development Control Technician.
