• There will be at most 6 workers present dependant on the requirements /output of the facility.

3) Details Of Proposed Use

• There is existing running water travelling through the land owned by Mr Van Wyngaardt.
• Mr Van Wyngaardt enquired with the Government if it was acceptable to utilise this natural flowing water source with a view to bottling it and redistributing it for sole consumption on the island. This was viewed acceptable and we were commissioned to assist in gaining permission for this facility.
• The facility will have 2 no holding tanks at the rear of the plant. These can be either submerged or site at ground level. With the many trees around the site, suggestion was made to having this at ground level. This also assisted with any maintenance required in the long term.
• The client shall be purchasing a bottling plant unit to assist with the smooth operation of bottling the water.
• This bottled water will then be stored at mezzanine level in the building until it is ready to be distributed to potential outlets for sale. (Yet to be agreed by the client).
