Re: P/A 03/01805/A - APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE FOR ERECTION OF DWELLING, LAND FORMING PART OF MILL KENT, BRIDGE ROAD BALLASALLA, MALEW
The plans for the proposed development have been inspected and the Drainage Division of the Department of Transport requests that the following comment(s) be passed to your Planning Committee: -
NO OBJECTION In principle subject to: -
It is noted that foul effluent from this development is to be treated by a shared septic tank. The applicant should be aware that the responsibility for that system would remain with the landowner. Any change of ownership and/or occupation and/or use of these buildings will NOT convert that drainage to a public system, as such septic tank drainage is defined as a private "cesspool" under section 42(4) of the Sewerage Act 1999.
In the event that this application is approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notice.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Wade Assistant Engineer Development Control
