)You are advised to note the comments of the SuDs team regarding condition 8 as set out below.
Surface water drainage must follow the SuDS National Standards; National standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) - GOV.UK
We will require a full set of calculations for each phase and in total, providing evidence of all surface water retained on site for the 1 in 100 (+40%CC). Any exceedance should be shown with pathways, depths and velocity.
We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc. and how it communicates with the development wide scheme.
We will require BRE365 infiltration test results
There should be a minimum 1m between the base of a soakage unit and the seasonal water table.
Any watercourses (this includes culverted) 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.
The connection of private surface water drainage systems to a highway system is not permitted.
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 is not required to adopt any SuDS feature, this subject to agreements. 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 (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.You are advised to note the comments of the SuDs team regarding condition 8 as set out below.

)The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled.
The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people.
These requirements are as follows:
Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage;
Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function;
Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid.
In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment.

)The applicant is advised to avoid the bird nesting season (March to August). If this cannot be avoided, then the site should be checked for nesting birds by a suitably qualified ecologist prior to any site clearance (including vegetation clearance) taking place. If an occupied nest is found onsite, then an exclusion zone around the nest would be required and maintained until the nest is no longer in use.The applicant is advised to avoid the bird nesting season (March to August).
