7 )The Bedfordshire & River Ivel Internal Drainage Board have provided the following advice: The proposed development falls within the Board's district. As such, no development shall take place within 9m of a watercourse bank top within the district without the prior consent of the Board. Development includes planting, fencing and landscaping. Consent sought under the Land Drainage Act is separate to planning permission and not superseded by it. Regarding any surface water discharge from the proposed site, note our policies have recently changed, as below. Note that this policy does not interfere with the prior site-wide free discharge arrangement for the Wixams development. If surface water (or treated foul water) discharge is proposed to a watercourse within the Board's district (either directly or indirectly), the proposed development requires Land Drainage Consent in line with the Board's byelaws (specifically Byelaw 3). Any consent granted will likely be conditional, pending payment of a surface water development contribution (SWDC), calculated in line with the Board's charging policy.The Bedfordshire & River Ivel Internal Drainage Board have provided the following advice: The proposed development falls within the Board's district.
