The applicant must fully investigate the possible connection of the southern ditch to a culvert running west into the village. If there is a culvert, the applicant will need to re-consider where surface water will discharge to.

Notwithstanding the details already submitted, there is the issue with the southern ditch being connected to the northern ditch. This can be covered within the conditions already suggested.

Please note that any proposals to alter existing, or construct new, culverts or carry out works in or on an ordinary watercourse will need Land Drainage Consent under s.23; Land Drainage Act 1991 from SWLDP. Such consent will need to be granted prior to works commencing on site as consent cannot be granted retrospectively. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action being taken by the Lead Local Flood Authority, Worcestershire County Council, under the Act. SWLDP may also exercise powers to require works for maintaining flow of a watercourse where appropriate under s.25 of the Act where the proper flow of water is impeded.

The applicant should be aware that polluting the nearby watercourse, for instance by allowing the discharge of sediment rich runoff from the construction site, might constitute an environmental offence. The applicant is expected to fully assess the risks from all pollution sources and pathways and take sufficient precautionary measures to mitigate these risks for this development.

Alteration of highway
This permission does not authorise the Applicant to carry out works within the publicly maintained highway since such works can only be carried out by the County Council’s Approved Contractor, Ringway Infrastructure Service who can be contacted by email [email protected]. The applicant is solely responsible for all costs associated with construction of the access.

Section 38 Agreement Details
If it is the Applicant's intention to request the County Council, as Highway Authority, to adopt the proposed roadworks as maintainable at the public expense, then details of the layout and alignment, widths and levels of the proposed roadworks, which shall comply with any plans approved under this planning consent unless otherwise agreed in writing, together with all necessary drainage arrangements and run off calculations shall be submitted to the County Council's Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP. No works on the site of the development shall be commenced until these details have been approved by the County Council, as Highway Authority, and an Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act, 1980, entered into.

Works Adjoining Highway
Any work involving the removal or disturbance of ground or structures supporting or abutting the publicly maintained highway should be carried out in accordance with details to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Highway Authority.

Temporary Direction Signs to Housing Developments
This consent does not authorise the erection of temporary direction signs on the public highway. Should the applicant wish to direct traffic to the development site they should seek the consent of the Highway Authority. All temporary directional sign proposals should be submitted to the Network Control Manager, Worcestershire County Council, County Hall, Spetchley Road, Worcester, WR5 2NP. No signs should be erected without the consent of the Highway Authority.

Construction Traffic Management Plan (CEMP)
It is expected that contractors are registered with the Considerate Constructors scheme and comply with the code of conduct in full, but particular reference is made to "respecting the community" this says:-
Constructors should give utmost consideration to their impact on neighbours and the public
•Informing, respecting and showing courtesy to those affected by the work.
•Minimising the impact of deliveries, parking and work on the public highway.
•Contributing to and supporting the local community and economy.
•Working to create a positive and enduring impression and promoting the Code.

The CTMP should clearly identify how the principal contractor will engage with the local community, this should be tailored to local circumstances. Contractors should also confirm how they will manage any local concerns and complaints and provide an agreed Service Level Agreement for responding to said issues. Contractors should ensure that courtesy boards are provided and information shared with the local community relating to the timing of operations and contact details for a site coordinator in the event of any difficulties.
This does not offer any relief to obligations under existing Legislation.
