Formal notifications and approval will be needed for any highway works (including temporary works of any nature) required during the construction of the development. Please note that unauthorised work on the highway is an offence. Temporary use of the public highway The developer is advised that if construction materials are proposed to be kept on the highway during construction works then they will need to apply for a license from the Council. If the developer requires scaffolding, hoarding or mobile cranes to be used on the highway, a licence is required and Street Management should be contacted make the necessary arrangements. Please note that unauthorised use of the highway for construction works is an offence. Surface water management The developer is advised that surface water from the development in both its temporary and permanent states should not be discharged onto the highway. Failure to prevent such is an offence.
19.For any development where a flood risk is identified, the Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority want to see developers consider and implement flood resilience/resistance measures into the buildings themselves. This is not to stop development but to ensure the protection for future residents is maintained and enhanced. The following measures are strongly recommended, although this list is not exhaustive:- - Raising the level of the building by at least 300mm above local levels; - Waterproof membrane in the ground floor; - Waterproof plaster and waterproofing to ground floor; - Electrics from the upstairs down and sockets high up off the ground floor; - Non return valves on the sewerage pipes; - Emergency escape plan for each individual property; - Air brick covers; and - Movable flood barriers for entrances. Alongside the resilience measures the applicant is also recommended to consider a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) to ensure the surface water run-off is managed appropriately.
20.The council is aware of a ditch which runs along the northern boundary of the application site. Although the ditch is outside the development boundaries, it cannot be altered or affected in any way due to the catchment it serves. If you are the riparian owner, it is strongly recommended that you (along with any other riparian owners) maintain the ditch line in order to reduce the possibility of flooding. The drilled culvert inlet to the rear of the proposed dwelling where the parking bays are intended must also be maintained. Access must be maintained to clear the grille on the inlet. This development should not impede the flow of any surface or ground water to the ditch line and culvert inlet.

22.Before occupation of the residential/ commercial unit(s) hereby approved, it is a requirement to have the property/properties officially Street Named and Numbered by our Street Naming and Numbering Team. Official Street Naming and Numbering will ensure that that Council has record of the property/properties so that future occupants can access our services. Registration will also ensure that emergency services, Land Registry and the Royal Mail have accurate address details. Proof of having officially gone through the Street Naming and Numbering process may also be required for the connection of utilities.
