Acceptable in principle; concerns on maintenance noted but confirmed after review.
No comment as no discharge to controlled waters requiring licence; uncontaminated surface water exempt.
Multiple consultees including Environmental Protection Unit, Manx Utilities, and Senior Marine Environment Officer provided responses on the satisfaction of drainage conditions 14, 15, and 16, generally indicating no objections with some noting the need for a Marine Nature Reserve permit.
Key concern: MNR permit likely required for new outfall

Environmental Protection Officer
No ObjectionIn general I have no further comments; the changes reflect the discussions we had earlier in the year with the applicants.; The use of an oil interceptor and sediment trap on the surface water discharge for the car park area will protect the coastal water from any pollutants.; An MNR permit is likely to be required for the new outfall but this will be covered by Peter.
Manx Utilities
No ObjectionManx Utilities have no concerns over the proposed drainage for this development.; SW will be treated and pass through suitable interceptors before being discharged into the sea to ensure any potential silt and other pollutants are removed - this is in line with the requirements from DEFA.
