1.0 Description - 1.1 The proposed application 24/00620/B was approved on 15.08.2024 for the widening existing driveway and vehicular access subject to 2 conditions one of which required submission of additional information prior to the commencement of works. - 1.2 This report is specific to Condition 2 which the applicants are seeking to satisfy. - 1.3 Specific wording of the condition as follows:

2.0 Proposal - 2.1 The applicant submitted an application along with an email advising they had spoken with the DoI Highway inspector who advised that drainage wouldn't be needed. Discussions with the Highway inspector confirmed that the finished driveway will sit below the pavement so drainage will not be needed.
