Dear Sirs,

**PA 07/009/B – Extension to provide additional toilet facilities, Laxey Fire Station Mines Road, Laxey.**

The Drainage Division of the Department of Transport has assessed the above planning application and would like to submit the following comments to your Planning Committee:-

**No Objection** in principle, subject to the following conditions:-

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.

The application states that the surface water from the proposed development is to be discharged to the “existing drainage”. If this “existing drainage” discharges (directly or indirectly) to the foul sewerage system then it should be noted that an alternative means of surface water disposal must be provided.

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

Yours faithfully,

John Kneen
Development Control Technician.
