Positive and Proactive Statement. In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking further information following receipt of the application; - seeking amendments to the proposed development following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions. In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
Should ground conditions prove unsuitable for the use of soakaways then the applicant will need to submit an alternative means of disposal for surface water from the development. Where possible sustainable drainage systems should be incorporated into the design and additional flow should not be discharged downstream so that flooding problems are not exacerbated or created. Further advice on this matter can be obtained from the District Council Drainage Engineering section, Wychavon District Council, The Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, WR10 1PT, Tel: 01386 565000.
Alteration of Highway to Provide New or Amended Vehicle Crossover This permission does not authorise the Applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email worcestershirevehicle.crossing@ringway.co.uk. The Applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.
No Drainage to Discharge to Highway Drainage arrangements shall be provided to ensure that surface water from the driveway and/or vehicular turning area does not discharge onto the public highway. No drainage or effluent from the proposed development shall be allowed to discharge into any highway drain or over any part of the public highway.
The effect of paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is that planning permission granted for the development of land in England is deemed to have been granted subject to the condition “(the biodiversity gain condition”) that development may not begin unless: - A Biodiversity Gain Plan has been submitted to the planning authority; and - The planning authority has approved the plan. Subject to Paragraph 14(2) of Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the biodiversity gain plan must include: - Information about the steps taken or to be taken to minimise the adverse effect of the development on the biodiversity of the onsite habitat and any other habitat; - The pre-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat; - The post-development biodiversity value of the onsite habitat; - Any registered offsite biodiversity gain allocated to the development and the biodiversity value of that gain in relation to the development; - Any biodiversity credits purchased for the development; and - Any such other matters as the Secretary of State may by regulations specify. Advice about how to prepare a Biodiversity Gain Plan and a template can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/submit-a-biodiversity-gain-plan.
