The Corporate Director of Place and Community submitted a report on planning application 2022/0455/FUL relating to 10 Old Rectory Green, Aughton.

 

RESOLVED:            That planning application 2022/0455/FUL relating to 10 Old Rectory Green Aughton be approved subject to the conditions and reasons as set out on pages 76 to 77 of the Book of Reports but with further notes as listed below:-

 

                                    Note:

 

The applicant is advised that United Utilities will not allow building over or in close proximity to a water main and will not allow a new building to be erected over or in close proximity to a public sewer or any other wastewater pipeline.  It is noted that a public sewer crosses the site and building will not be permitted over it. 

 

 

United Utilities will require an access strip for maintenance or replacement.  The minimum distances that might be acceptable to United Utilities are detailed within Part H of the Building Regulations however, it is recommended that the applicant determines the precise location, size, depth and condition of the pipeline as this is likely to influence the required stand-off distance from any structure.

 

Note:

 

                                    The applicant is advised in respect of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) which states that surface water from new developments should be investigated and delivered in the following order of priority:

 

1. into the ground (infiltration);

2. to a surface water body;

3. to a surface water sewer, highway drain, or another drainage system;

4. to a combined sewer.

 

 

The applicant is therefore advised to consider their drainage plans in accordance with the drainage hierarchy outlined above.
