)The application states the intention is to discharge surface water to the mains sewer. Anglian Water's maps show there are no adopted surface water sewers in the vicinity and we therefore assume the intention is to dispose of surface water to the public foul sewer in which case we do not find the proposal acceptable (see attached Anglian Water asset map).
Connections to the foul sewer for surface water discharge are considered unsustainable and should be avoided in all cases, as this can increase the risk of surcharge and flooding from the sewer. We therefore strongly object to a proposal to dispose of surface water to the public foul sewer.
All developments must comply with the drainage hierarchy set out in Part H of the Building Regulations, which the application fails to do.
H3 - Rainwater drainage(1) Adequate provision shall be made for rainwater to be carried from the roof of the building.(2) Paved areas around the building shall be so constructed as to be adequately drained.(3) Rainwater from a system provided pursuant to sub-paragraphs (1) or (2) shall discharge to one of the following, listed in order of priority:(a) an adequate soakaway or some other adequate infiltration system; or, where that is not reasonably practicable,(b) a watercourse*; or, where that is not reasonably practicable,(c) a sewer**.
*Any connection to a watercourse or sewer must not exceed greenfield run off rates with appropriate controls provided on site to limit run off.
**public surface water sewer.
We ask that an alternative discharge be investigated in accordance with the above hierarchy.
We also note that the site is located within an area at risk of the 1:1000 surface water event. The design and layout of the development must acknowledge existing drainage patterns on site and those off site that the proposed development has the potential to affect.
We expect details to demonstrate the proposed method of surface water discharge and management of flood risk to be provided. This should be in accordance with the Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (Defra, 2015) and the Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Drainage Guidance (CBC, Adopted April 2014 Updated May 2015).The application states the intention is to discharge surface water to the mains sewer.
