Dear Sirs,
Planning Applications
PA 08/01457/B – Erection of a temporary sales office, car park and sales board, Phase 2 All Saints Park Ballacannell, Lonan.
The Drainage Division of the Department of Transport has assessed the above planning applications and would like to submit the following comments to your Planning Committee.
No Objection subject to the following conditions:
- The proposed temporary sales office must be connected to the public sewer(s) in a manner acceptable to the Department of Transport Drainage Division. All drainage works must conform to the requirements of the Department of Transport's "Manx Sewers for Adoption" and all necessary inspections/surveys [including CCTV] are to be carried out at the developer's expense.
In accordance with the Sewerage Act 1999, a communication fee will be payable to the Department of Transport in respect of this property being connected (directly or indirectly) to the public drainage system.
Note: Under section 4(3) of the Sewerage Act 1999 the applicant must give 21 days notice, in writing, to the Drainage Division, prior to making any communication to the public sewer. The applicant is therefore advised to contact the Development Control section of the Division to discuss this matter.
- There must be NO discharge of surface water (including that from roofs and paved areas) from this proposed development to any foul drainage system(s) so as to comply with the requirements of the Department of Transport Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999.
It is noted that the surface water from the property is to be discharged via a soakaway. The use of soakaways are subject to Building Control approval and if this approval is not granted, the Drainage Division would not give permission for the discharge of surface water into the existing foul system and an alternative means of disposal would have to be sought.

In the event that these applications are approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notices.
Yours faithfully, Jin Koren John Kneen Development Control Technician.
