3 )The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled. The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people. These requirements are as follows: Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage; Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function; Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid. In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment.

4 )In respect to condition 4 and the points referenced, please refer to the notes below from the SuDS Officer: We consider that planning permission could be granted to the proposed development and the final design and maintenance arrangements for the surface water system agreed at the detailed design stage, if the following recommendations and planning conditions are secured. 1. We will require a full set of calculations, providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+30%CC). Any exceedance should be shown with pathways with maximum depths and velocity. 2. 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. 3. We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme. 4. 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. 5. 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). 6. 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).In respect to condition 4 and the points referenced, please refer to the notes below from the SuDS Officer: We consider that planning permission could be granted to the proposed development and the final design and maintenance arrangements for the surface water system agreed at the detailed design stage, if the following recommendations and planning conditions are secured. 1.
