Dear Sir

**ISLE OF MAN PLANNING SCHEME (DEVELOPMENT PLAN) ORDER 1982**
**10/00821/B - CONSTRUCTION OF A DETACHED GARAGE, NORTH**
**LODGE, CRONKBOURNE, BRADDAN, ISLE OF MAN, IM4 4QH**

Douglas Borough Council acts as the Drainage agent for the Department of
Infrastructure, under the Sewerage Act 1999.

**No Objection in Principle subject to:-**

The proposed extension must be drained, in accordance with the requirements of the
Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority.

**Disposal of Surface Water – Preferred Option (Control and Disposal of rainwater at
source)**

Disposal of domestic surface water for the extension via a private soakaway, located
within the rear garden, which must be in accordance with Part H of the Building
Regulation.

A necessary percolation test must be undertaken and witnessed by the Douglas
Borough Council's Building Control Officer to determine ground suitability.

**Disposal of Surface Water – Specified Option**

The proposed method of surface water disposal contained within the Planning
Application is via a piped drainage system connecting to the public sewer. This will
only be permitted if the site and or ground conditions are proven not to be suitable for
soakaway.

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 should be noted that it is an offence under Manx legislation to permit the discharge of polluting or harmful matter to any public sewers or watercourses. Appropriate measures must be taken by the developer/occupier of the premises to ensure compliance with the legislation.

In the event that this application is approved I should be grateful if these comments could be incorporated in the approval notice.

Yours faithfully
