* THE FOLLOWING ARE ADVISORY NOTES NOT CONDITIONS

 

1. The development should seek to employ current best practice and the most current   advice and guidance. With specific reference to ecological matters, Section 6 of the Environment (Wales) Act2016 places a duty on public authorities to ‘seek to maintain and enhance biodiversity’ so far as it is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions. In so doing, public authorities must also seek to ‘promote the resilience of ecosystems’. Attention is drawn to the Biodiversity and Development Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG): A Green Infrastructure Approach:-

 

http://www1.bridgend.gov.uk/media/227718/final-green-infrastructure-spg-for-web.pdf  

 

This Guidance seeks to inform schemes and provide practical advice in  respect of ecological enhancements and the resilience of ecosystems.

 

2. The applicant/developer is advised that all wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), whilst they are actively nesting or roosting. Protection should be given to all nesting birds during any works and to proceed with caution, especially during the bird nesting season (early March to late July). Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) makes it an offence to kill, injure or take any wild bird, and to intentionally take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. It is also an offence to take or destroy any wild bird eggs.

 

3. Trees and hedgerows provide habitat to a number of protected species, including bats and birds. British bats, their breeding sites and resting places are protected by law under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 which implements the EC Directive 92/43/EEC in the United Kingdom and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000). This legislation makes it an offence to damage or destroy a bat breeding site or resting place (sometimes referred to as a roost) whether the animal is present at the time or not, intentionally or recklessly obstruct access to a place used for shelter and protection or deliberately capture, injure, kill, or disturb a bat/bats.

 

4. With respect to condition 7, the scheme should incorporate relocated bus stop facilities, carriageway and footway realignment, pedestrian crossing facilities and vertical displacements, plateaux and include full engineering details including longitudinal and cross sections, construction details, lighting, surface water drainage, carriageway markings, signing, traffic calming features and Stage 2 Safety Audit.

 

5. The developer is advised that a scheme for the provision of suitable improvements to establish learner travel routes along the routes identified in Appendix O of the submitted Transport Assessment will be required and the improved routes should be provided before the development is brought into beneficial use and retained in perpetuity.

 

6. The developer is advised that a school travel plan will be required to be implemented within 6 months of the beneficial use of the development commencing. Such a plan shall contain targets, measures and initiatives relating to the encouragement and promotion of the use of sustainable transport for journeys to and from the school. The plan shall be subject to periodic review and monitoring, with annual reports prepared by the school. 

 

7. The proposed development site is crossed by a public sewer with the approximate position being marked on the attached Statutory Public Sewer Record.  The position shall be accurately located marked out on site before works commence and no operational development shall be carried out within 3 metres either side of the centreline of the public sewer. 

 

8. The applicant may need to apply to Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water DCWW) for any connection to the public sewer under S106 of the Water industry Act 1991. If the connection to the public sewer network is either via a lateral drain (ie a drain which extends beyond the connecting property boundary) or via a new sewer (ie serves more than one property), it is now a mandatory requirement to first enter into a Section 104 Adoption Agreement (Water Industry Act 1991). The design of the sewers and lateral drains must also conform to the Welsh Ministers Standards for Gravity Foul Sewers and Lateral Drains and conform with the publication "Sewers for Adoption" - 7th Edition. Further information can be obtained via the Developer Services pages of www.dwrcymru.com

 

9. The applicant is also advised that some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on the DCWW maps of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011.  The presence of such assets may affect the proposal.  In order to assist DCWW in dealing with the proposal the applicant may contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water on 0800 085 3968 to establish the location and status of the apparatus. Under the Water Industry Act 1991 Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has rights of access to its apparatus at all times.

 

10. A water supply can be made available to serve this proposed development.  The developer may be required to contribute, under Sections 40 - 41 of the Water Industry Act 1991, towards the provision of new off-site and/or on-site watermains and associated infrastructure.  The level of contribution can be calculated upon receipt of detailed site layout plans which should be sent to the address above.

 

11. No surface water is allowed to discharge to the public highway.

 

12. No land drainage run-off will be permitted to discharge (either directly or indirectly) into the public sewerage system.

 

13. In order to satisfy condition 12 the following advisory notes should be followed:-
    
    

• Submit Flood Defence Consent applications for both proposed discharge points
• Provide details of locations at risk of flooding as identified by Microdrainage and provide flood prevention measures for these areas if proposed.
• Provide further details regarding the location, sizing and discharge point of the existing piped spring.
• Provide an updated drainage strategy showing the position of the existing ditch and watercourse as previously discussed.
• Provide confirmation of undertaking of cleansing of the NR culvert and letter of acceptance of connecting to the culvert from NR

 

14. Prior to any works commencing on the highway the developer will be required to enter into a legally binding agreement to secure the proper implementation of the proposed highway works including an appropriate bond. The details supporting the agreement shall include all necessary engineering details including a Stage 2 Safety Audit.

 

15. Your attention is drawn to the attached comments of the Designing out Crime Officer.
