Further details can be obtained by contacting The Street Works Co-ordinator, Central Bedfordshire Highways, by contacting the Highways Helpdesk 0300 300 8301
The applicant is advised that parking for contractor's vehicles and the storage of materials and deliveries associated with this development should take place within the site and not extend into within the public highway without authorisation from the highway authority. If necessary the applicant is advised to contact The Street Works Co-ordinator, Central Bedfordshire Highways, by contacting the Highways Helpdesk 0300 300 8301. Under the provisions of the Highways Act 1980 the developer may be liable for any damage caused to the public highway as a result of demolition/construction of the development hereby approved
The contractor and / or client are to ensure that any mud or building material debris such as sand, cement or concrete that is left on the public highway, or any mud arising from construction/demolition vehicular movement, shall be removed immediately and in the case of concrete, cement, mud or mortar not allowed to dry on the highway
The applicant is advised that all cycle parking to be provided within the site shall be designed in accordance with the Central Bedfordshire Council's 'Cycle Parking Annexes July 2010'Highways Notes:

)Drainage Notes:
Culverting of existing watercourses will not be permitted.
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.
We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features,storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme.
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.
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.
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.
Surface water discharge will be via either soakaways to BRE365 and Building Regulation standards or a controlled discharge into a watercourse with the correct consentDrainage Notes:
