Dear Sir,

PA 05/0506/B – Erection of an additional garage extension with store below and installation of rooflight on main dwelling (Resubmission), Newlands House, Main Road, Baldrine, Lonan.

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 (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.

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 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
