Dear Sirs,

PA 07/1448/B – Erection of a detached garage / store and garden shed, Clover Cottage Main Road Sulby, Lezayre.

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 from the access road to any foul drainage system 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.

With reference to the Mill Race please contact the Drainage Divisions Land Drainage Engineer before commencing on site. 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.
