4 )The applicant's attention is drawn to DETR Circular 03/99 which requires an applicant to demonstrate that a connection to the public foul sewer is not available. In the eventuality of a connection to the public foul water sewer not being available, the suitability of any non-mains sewerage systems, particularly those incorporating septic tanks, must be effectively demonstrated by the applicant to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. The foul drainage from the proposed development may be discharged to a septic tank and soakaway system which meets requirements of British Standard BS 6297: 1983 and which complies with the following:- (a) there is no connection to any watercourse or land drainage system and no part of the soakaway system is situated within 10 metres of any ditch or watercourse, or within 50 metres of a well, borehole or spring. (b) porosity tests are carried out to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority to demonstrate that suitable subsoil and adequate land area is available for the soakaway (BS6297: 1983 refers). The applicant is advised (before the septic tank is installed) to obtain professional advice as to whether the tank and its associated soakaway system will work satisfactorily, having regard to sub-soil conditions. If the applicant, after percolatin tests have been completed, finds that the ground conditions are unsuitable for soakaway then the Environment Agency must be consulted regarding other methods of foul sewage disposal. The above comments are made only on the understanding that no public foul sewer is available to serve this development. The maximum acceptable depth for soakaways is 2 metres below existing ground level. Soakaways should be designed and constructed in accordance with BRE Digest 365. All surface water from roofs shall be piped direct to an approved surface water system using sealed downpipes. Open gullies should not be used. Only clean, uncontaminated surface water, should be discharged to any soakaway, watercourse or surface water sewer. Any culverting or works affecting the flow of a watercourse requires the prior written Consent of the Environment Agency under the terms of the Land Drainage Act 1991/Water Resources Act 1991. The Environment Agency seeks to avoid culverting, and its Consent for such works will not normally be granted except as a means of access. The granting of planning approval must not be taken to imply that consent has been given in respect of the above.The applicant's attention is drawn to DETR Circular 03/99 which requires an applicant to demonstrate that a connection to the public foul sewer is not available.
