3 )The applicant is advised that where roofing work or timber treatment is to be undertaken, it is the legal responsibility of the contractor to check for bats. If bats are found during the course of any work to buildings or trees where not previously anticipated, then works should immediately stop and Natural England notified for appropriate advice.The applicant is advised that where roofing work or timber treatment is to be undertaken, it is the legal responsibility of the contractor to check for bats. If bats are found during the course of any work to buildings or trees where not previously anticipated, then works should immediately stop and Natural England notified for appropriate advice.
4 )Recommendations for the detailed surface water drainage scheme for Condition 3; A full set of calculations providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC+10% Urban Creep). Any exceedance should be shown with pathways, depths and velocity. Full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. to be updated in line with BRE results. BRE365 infiltration test results Culverting of existing watercourses will not be permitted. There should be a minimum 1m between the base of a soakage unit and the seasonal water table. 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. 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. Permeable block paving should be laid to CIRIA C768 'Guidance on the construction of SuDS' guidelines. This guidance also stipulates following Interlay guidance. 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. Confirmation is required 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).Recommendations for the detailed surface water drainage scheme for Condition 3; A full set of calculations providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC+10% Urban Creep).

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'.Notes to applicant: 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.

6 )You are advised to note the comments of the Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service as set out below: We have identified that the location of the site could make it impractical for fire hydrants to be installed. Having completed a risk-based assessment of the proposed site and the available water supplies for firefighting, we would consider the installation of domestic sprinkler / fire suppression system as an alternative to the installation of a fire hydrant. Specific Detail: The nearest existing fire hydrant is over 500 metres from the proposed dwelling and there is no water main suitable for the installation of a fire hydrant closer than this. The developer must install a sprinkler / fire suppression system in the proposed dwelling to compensate for the excessive distance to a fire hydrant.You are advised to note the comments of the Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service as set out below: We have identified that the location of the site could make it impractical for fire hydrants to be installed.
