Dear Sirs,

Planning Application

PA 10/01860/B- Erection of a dwelling (comprising amendments to 06/01756 REM), Plot 3
- Field 614664 Ballaragh Road, Laxey.

The Drainage Division of the Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority has assessed the above planning
application and would like to submit the following comments to your Planning Committee.

No Objection: - subject to the following conditions:-

1). The proposed dwelling must be connected to the public sewer(s) in a manner acceptable to the Isle
of Man Water & Sewerage Authority, 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 Isle of Man
Water & Sewerage Authority 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.

2).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 Isle
of Man Water & Sewerage Authority, Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999.

Cont:

Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority
Meary Veg, Santon, Isle of Man, IM4 1HL

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 this application is approved I should be grateful if the above comments could be incorporated in the approval notice.

Yours sincerely,
Jefin K̄neen
