PP175 157 Silverdale Parish Council Email Silverdale - Part of S50 Surface water flooding in the vicinity of the site has been clearly evident in recent Concerns noted. It is not proposed to include any of S50 in the final AONB DPD. Site not proposed for years. Outside the Cemetery is a low lying area of agricultural land that regularly does inclusion not drain away after any significant rainfall. A planning application to extend the cemetery was refused due to risk of water-logging. Similarly, properties around Emesgate Lane, Townsfield and Cove Road have had issues with private wastewater systems becoming back filled with surface water, causing sewage to back up - a major inconvenience and health hazard. The additional flow of wastewater, together with run off form the inevitable hard surfaces of the proposed site which would flow into this already problematic low lying area, suggest that no further development should be contemplated until both the wastewater systems and surface water drainage are agreed to have been robustly resolved.

PP175 157 Silverdale Parish Council Email Silverdale - Part of S50 The Wastewater disposal arrangements are a significant concern. There is no public Concerns noted. It is not proposed to include any of S50 in the final AONB DPD. Site not proposed for Wastewater system available in the Silverdale area and none proposed. A private inclusion Wastewater system would have to be provided. The soil cover in most areas of Silverdale is thin and it is underlain by fractured, free draining limestone. To create an effective system requires sufficient depth of suitable soil to allow for the treatment processes to take place. If this is not available and the part treated Wastewater drains away too quickly into the fractured limestone, it is has the potential to rapidly contaminate the ground water systems. Experience from many excavation activities in Silverdale, including the recent area wide laying of fibre broadband ducts for the B4RN community Broadband system, finds that in most places there is too little soil to provide for a correctly functioning tertiary treatment and ground infiltration system.
