6 )The following provides a summary of the details required for condition 13: An assessment of the infiltration potential at the site, prior to discharge to the public sewer being agreed (in line with the drainage hierarchy, Building Regulations Part H). N.b. A surface water connection to the combined or foul sewer can only be permitted under exceptional circumstances if evidence shows that the previous site was connected to the same sewer and there are no other new feasible discharge options. Where a Brownfield site is redeveloped, no historic right of connection will exist, and any sewer connections will be treated as new. The site will be treated as if it was Greenfield and therefore discharge rate limited to the equivalent 1 in 1 year Greenfield rate for all events up to the 1 in 100-year rainfall event (+40% climate change). Agreement from Anglian Water that a connection is agreeable. We expect correspondence be provided with the system operator regarding discharge rate and capacity, and details of upstream source control and treatment of surface water be provided using sustainable drainage principles. N.b. Anglian Water will assess the capacity of the public sewers and upon meeting the above policy principles, advise and make recommendations on the proposed development and or new connection. The arrangements to manage the parts of the site at current risk of surface water flooding from overland flow. The western corner is shown to be at high risk, and we will require details of the mitigation proposed. In addition to setting floor levels at an appropriate height, this should include interception of existing flows and management of these through the design and layout of the proposed drainage (in addition to the management of run off from the development). The area of risk is within the part of the site proposed for (permeable paving) car parking and we consider a solution can be delivered. For the purposes of selecting SUDS, the site is a moderately sloping site which means that most types of SUDS are likely to be suitable for the site. We will require an assessment of the impact of site levels/topography on the design and layout of the drainage scheme. All attenuation features should be designed to half-drain within 24 hours and fully drain within 48 hours, to ensure that there is enough capacity retained within the drainage system for subsequent rainfall events. There should be no flooding during the 1 in 100-year rainfall event (+ 40% for climate change) in any part of a building (including a basement); or in any utility plant susceptible to water (e.g. pumping station or electricity substation) within the development. In case of a more extreme storm event than the design event or a failure of an element of the system. A plan showing proposed exceedence routes should be submitted with the application, and when hydraulic modelling of the system is carried out the system should be tested for exceedence and these results submitted. Exceedance routes should be protected from future changes in land use. The final detailed design of the proposed surface water drainage system, supporting calculations, plans, drawings and hydraulic modelling of the proposed system. N.b. Permeable paving must still be able to function effectively when blocked by up to 95% to allow for the system becoming less efficient e.g. as a result of siltation. A safety factor of 2.0 has been used in the preliminary design of the permeable paving, it is recommended that a factor of safety of 10 is applied to the detailed design allow for clogging to affect a proportion of the surface area over the design life. Details of the water quality, ecology and social objectives of the site and its drainage. N.b. The drainage system will provide effective treatment, using the methodology set out in Section 26.7 of the CIRCA SuDS Manual (C753). Overview of the Construction of the system, including an assessment of the impact and required mitigation of surface water runoff from existing sources as part of this phase, and detailed plan of the arrangements for maintenance (including ownership, responsibility and access).The following provides a summary of the details required for condition 13: An assessment of the infiltration potential at the site, prior to discharge to the public sewer being agreed (in line with the drainage hierarchy, Building Regulations Part H).
