3 )Flood Risk Management Team We need evidence that the existing pond, on the proposed site, is not a drainage feature. How is the pond kept full? We will also need evidence that the surrounding properties flood risk will not be increased, this should be provided with a drainage plan explaining how/where surface water is controlled and disposed of. We do not require a full FRA but do need evidence. Culverting of existing watercourses will not be permitted. Any watercourses within or adjacent to the site should be included in the maintenance and management plan, even if there is no discharge to them. This would be a riparian ownership issue but leaving it as such is no longer acceptable. We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the existing system. We expect the use of the SuDS management train, single point SuDS will be challenged. Where the use of permeable surfacing is proposed, this should be designed in accordance with the 'CIRIA RP992 The SuDS Manual Update: Paper RP992/28: Design Assessment Checklists for Permeable/Porous Pavement'. The final detailed design including proposed standards of operation, construction, structural integrity and ongoing maintenance must be compliant with the 'Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems' (March 2015, Ref: PB14308), 'Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Drainage Guidance' (Adopted April 2014, Updated May 2015), and recognised best practise including the Ciria SuDS Manual (2016, C753). Land drainage Consent under the Land Drainage Act 1991 must be secured to discharge surface water to an existing watercourse/ditch, and details of this provided with the full detailed design. An easement should be provided on the developable side of the watercourse to allow for access for maintenance, this should be 9m but may depend on the maintenance requirements considered appropriate. Agreement for the sewerage undertaker is required to discharge into a public system. The agreement and rate (l/s) must be included in relevant correspondence.Flood Risk Management Team We need evidence that the existing pond, on the proposed site, is not a drainage feature.
