Drainage
Following a review of the Environment Agency flood risk for planning map, the entire site is identified as being located within Flood Zone 1, an area with the lowest probability of flooding, as is much of the surrounding area.
Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) features will be incorporated into the site to ensure that surface water run-off is appropriately managed. This will also ensure that the water quality of run-off is improved.
A Drainage Strategy Plan is being prepared which will form part of the planning application.
Other technical considerations
A full suite of technical reports is being prepared by specialist consultants to be submitted with the planning application. These include:
- Transport assessment and travel plan
- Ecology impact assessment
- Acoustic statement
- Arboricultural survey and impact assessment
- Biodiversity Net Gain assessment
- Lighting assessment
- Landscape strategy
- Sustainability statement
- Drainage Strategy Plan and Flood Risk Assessment
- Geo-environmental assessment
These reports and others will be available for public review through Bath & North East Somerset Council’s statutory consultation on the planning application once it has been submitted and validated.
