POLICY: G2 (General Development Guidance)

 

INFORMATIVE – HIGHWAYS: With regard to condition two above the applicant should contact the Salisbury Transportation Team on 01722 434671, who will design and co-ordinate the traffic regulation order work, the cost of which will be borne by the applicant, which will be at least £5000. The cost includes advertising the order changes, staff time, signs and road markings.

 

INFORMATIVE – ENVIRONMENT AGENCY: The development should include water efficient systems and fittings. These should include dual-flush toilets, water butts, water-saving taps, showers and baths, and appliances with the highest water efficiency rating (as a minimum). Greywater recycling and rainwater harvesting should be considered. The applicant is advised to refer to the following for further guidance: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/drought/31755.aspx and http://www.savewatersavemoney.co.uk

 

INFORMATIVE - ENVIRONMENT AGENCY: Safeguards should be implemented during the construction phase to minimise the risks of pollution and detrimental effects to the water interests in and around the site. Such safeguards should cover the use and routing of heavy plant and vehicles; the location and form of work and storage areas and compounds and the control and removal of spoil and wastes. The applicant is recommended to refer to the Environment Agency Pollution Prevention Guidelines, which can be viewed at: hhtp://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/topics/pollution/39083.aspx

 

INFORMATIVE – WESSEX WATER: Although not shown on the public sewer record drawing, it is understood that there could be a sewer crossing the site which by virtue of its age could be deemed a public sewer under the former Section 24 provision of the Public Health Act 1936. Public sewerage apparatus is covered by statutory easement and no new building or similar works will normally be allowed within a minimum of 3 metres of this apparatus. The granting of planning permission does not, where apparatus will be affected, change Wessex Water’s ability to seek agreement as to the carrying out of diversionary and/or conditioned protection works at the applicant’s expense or, in default of such agreement, the right to prevent the carrying out of any such development proposals as may affect its apparatus.
