It is proposed that surface water would be disposed of via soak aways and
Sustainable Drainage Systems. Foul drainage would be connected to the existing
local foul system.

The Councils Drainage Engineer has no objection to the scheme and considers that
the details of the drainage scheme can be controlled by a planning condition. With
this in place the application would comply with policy DP41 of the DP.

Infrastructure

Policy DP20 of the DP seeks to ensure that development is accompanied by the
necessary infrastructure. This includes securing affordable housing which is dealt
with under Policy DP31 of the District Plan. Policy DP20 sets out that infrastructure
will be secured through the use of planning obligations.

The Council has approved three Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) in
relation to developer obligations (including contributions). The SPDs are:

a) A Development Infrastructure and Contributions SPD which sets out the overall
framework for planning obligations
b) An Affordable Housing SPD
c) A Development Viability SPD

The National Planning Policy Framework sets out the government's policy on
planning obligations in paragraphs 54 and 56 which state:

'54 Local planning authorities should consider whether otherwise unacceptable
development could be made acceptable through the use of conditions or planning
obligations. Planning obligations should only be used where it is not possible to
address unacceptable impacts through a planning condition.'

and:

'56 Planning obligations must only be sought where they meet all of the following
tests:

 necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms;
 directly related to the development; and
 fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.'

These tests reflect the statutory tests set out in Regulation 122 of the Community
Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (CIL Regulations).
