9 )The following points are in respect of Conditions 22 and 23. Points 2, 3, 4 and 7 should be addressed when submitting details to discharge condition 22. We would expect some above ground sustainable drainage features (as per our SuDS SPD). Some SuDS features/diversity enhancement in all phases. We will require a full set of calculations for each phase and in total, providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC+10% Urban Creep). Any exceedance should be shown with pathways, depths and velocity. We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme. 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). Under Central Bedfordshire Council and IDB bylaws, any watercourse within or adjoining the site boundary will maintain a 9m development free easement (on the development side), unless otherwise agreed with the relevant drainage authority. This applies to all watercourses, where water is present for all or some of the year, including those not clearly stated on mapping, topography or planning documents. To ensure future homeowners and subsequent homeowners will be aware of any maintenance requirements / responsibilities for surface water drainage, including ditches; further measures should be proposed by the applicant and may include, for example, information provided to the first purchaser of the property and also designation/registration of the SuDS so that it appears as a Land Charge for the property and as such is identified to subsequent purchasers of the property. The water environment is potentially vulnerable and there is an increased potential for pollution from inappropriately located and/or designed infiltration Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).The following points are in respect of Conditions 22 and 23.
