3 )An agreement pursuant to Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 shall be entered into with Highways England (or the Highway Authority under licence from Highways England) for the approved works, prior to the commencement of the identified works.An agreement pursuant to Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 shall be entered into with Highways England (or the Highway Authority under licence from Highways England) for the approved works, prior to the commencement of the identified works.
4 )The following points shall be addressed when submitting details to discharge condition 10: 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. The Council does not, and is not required to, adopt any SuDS feature. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the surface water drainage system, in its entirety, will be effectively maintained in the long-term. We therefore expect confirmation of the proposed arrangements for maintenance to be provided with the final detailed design, including the future maintenance and operational needs and the responsible bodies for undertaking maintenance (for all public and private drainage components). 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.The following points shall be addressed when submitting details to discharge condition 10: 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.
