Dear Sir,

### Re: P/A 04/734/B - Erection of a single storey extension on rear elevation, 2 Ballaghaue Cottages, Andreas Road, Andreas

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: -

1. There must be NO discharge of surface water (directly or indirectly) 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.

2. Public sewerage crosses this site. The line of the sewer(s) must be identified before development work commences. The sewer(s) must be fully protected whilst all building works are being carried out. No part of the proposed development may be constructed, nor any trees planted, within THREE metres of any public sewer either at the time of construction or at any time in the future.

3. The applicant must consult with the Divisions Development Control Engineer before commencing on site.

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
