Representation Summary:
Any application would require a Preliminary Risk Assessment to assess the possible impact of contamination on water receptors.
Site will need a non- public foul mains sewer solution and would be likely to drain to an unnamed tributary of the River Avon. Although this may be acceptable the site is less desirable than one that can connect to the public sewer but is more desirable than sites which drain to the Tach Brook.
A suitable means of dealing with foul effluent will be required.
Flood risk from alluvial sources is unlikely now the site has been reduced in size but any development must have regard to surface water flooding and localised ponding.
