The siting of a temporary static caravan during the construction of a new dwelling (permission granted A201050)

We refer to your planning consultation relating to the above site and we would like to make the following recommendations:

Recommendations
- Any new surfacing, including access, parking areas and paths, should be constructed from permeable materials.
- Increased surface water run-off resulting from the construction of the new development shall be trapped and disposed of onsite so as not to flow onto adjoining properties or land.
- Soakaways should not be located within 6m of a road or building. The application should be accompanied by the site and hydraulic design of the proposed soakaways and the results of the percolation test in accordance with BRE365 or supervening documents to ensure that ground conditions are adequate.
- Soakaways are only an acceptable method of surface water drainage should ground conditions prove suitable. If the existing soils are not satisfactory for infiltration alone an alternative scheme for the disposal of surface water from the site should be submitted to the Authority for assessment.
- A minimum distance of 1m between the base of the infiltration system and the maximum likely ground water level should always be adopted.

Reason
- To eliminate the risk of flooding, reduce the impact of the development of the natural environment and to ensure the proposal will not cause any flooding.

Informatives
- SuDS Approval is required. No development can commence until approval has been granted by the SuDS Approval Body (SAB) as well as planning. It is therefore recommended that the applicant contact the SAB as soon as possible to discuss the SuDS Application.
