Thank you for your email. Whilst I await further response from SWW Developer Services I can confirm that a condition restricting construction works within normal working hours would be acceptable.

Eric – re. above.
Just a brief note to let you know that I have had a consultation response from SWW advising of the fact that there is a public sewer running through the site which will require diversion. You are advised to make quick contact with their Developer Services Team on 01392-443661. See Public Access for copy of their letter.
Our Environmental Services have also come back to me: they would wish to see a condition attached to any consent requiring certain restrictions on timing of construction works, which seems reasonable to me , given potential for noise and nuisance to neighbours: assume you would have no objections to such a condition? Again, see Public Access for copy of CEHO comments.
Otherwise, I do not seem to have had any other objections to this revised scheme, and am aiming still to make a recommendation by 24 th August.
Kind regards

1. You are advised of the following standard Environment Agency informatives and requiring:
(i) Separation of clean surface/roof water from foul drainage.
PEFULZ
(ii) Clean surface and roof water to soakaways/Sustainable Urban Drainage System
Further information on SUDS and general domestic drainage matters can be found in PPG25 Appendix E, and in the CIRIA C522 document 'Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems - design manual for England and Wales. See http://www.environment- agency.gov.uk and http://www.ciria.org.uk.
2. Your attention is drawn to those comments received from South West Water in it response to consultations concerning this application:
The applicant/agent is advised to contact South West Water if they are unable to comply with our requirements as detailed below:
A plan showing the approximate location of a public sewer in the vicinity. Please note that no development will be permitted within 3 metres of the sewer, and ground cover should not be substantially altered. Should the development encroach on the 3 metre easement, the sewer will need to be diverted at the expense of the applicant. The applicant/agent is advised to contact the Developer Services Team to discuss the matter further.
South West Water will only allow foul drainage to be connected to the pubic foul or combined sewer. Permission will not be granted for the surface water from this site to return to the public foul or combined sewerage network. We will request that investigations are carried out to remove the surface water using a suitable Sustainable Urban Drainage System, such as a soakaway. If this is not a viable solution to remove the surface water, please contact the Developer Services Team for further information: [email protected] or Tel: 01392 443661.
REASON FOR APPROVAL OF PERMISSION/GRANT OF CONSENT
The current proposal is acceptable in that the proposed dwelling is in a sustainable location and is considered to be appropriately scaled and designed in terms of its impact on the street scene and adjacent dwellings. The proposal is not considered to lead to an objectionable impact on the privacy and amenity of any other neighbouring occupiers and provides for suitable off-street car parking. The proposal is therefore considered to comply with the requirements of relevant policies: COR1, COR2, COR9 and COR17 of the Mid Devon Core Strategy, DM1, DM2, DM8, DM14 and DM15 of the Local Plan Part 3 (Development Management Policies), Mid Devon Adopted Policy AL/IN/3 requires that all new dwellings are subject to the necessary infrastructure payments relating to Public Open Space where these meet the tests in the Community infrastructure Levy Regulations. Policy AL/CRE/8 of the Allocations and Infrastructure Development Plan Document also provides for new residential development in Crediton and surrounding villages to contribute towards the cost of implementing the Crediton Air Quality Action Plan. The policy is supplemented by the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on air quality and development. However, having regard to the tests in the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations, no financial contributions toward public open space provision (AL/IN/3) or towards air quality (AL/CR/8) are being sought in this instance.
Statement of Positive Working
In accordance with the requirements of Article 35 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, in determining this application the Local Planning Authority has worked proactively and positively with the applicant to ensure that all relevant planning considerations have been properly resolved. This has included pre-application discussion and discussions.
In accordance with paragraph 69 of the National Planning Policy Framework, the Local Planning Authority has also involved the community in the consideration of this application.

NOTE – Failure to adhere to the details of the approved plans or to comply with the above conditions constitutes a contravention of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990 in respect of which enforcement action may be taken.
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE ORDER 1995 PART 2 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990
Appeals to the Secretary of State • If you are aggrieved by the decision of your Local Planning Authority to refuse permission for the proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the Secretary of State under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. • If you want to appeal against the Local Planning Authority’s decision then you must do so within 6 months of the date of this notice. • Forms of appeal may be obtained from The Planning Inspectorate, Customer Support Team, Room 306,Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS16PN. Alternatively, requests for appeal forms can be made by telephone: 0303 444 5000. Appeal forms can also be submitted electronically via the planning portal at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/planning/appeals/online/makeanappeal • The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal. • The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the local planning authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order. • In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the local planning authority based their decision on a direction given by him.
Purchase Notices • If either the Local Planning Authority or the Secretary of State refuses permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted. • In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council (District Council, London Borough Council or Common Council of the City of London) in whose area the land is situated. This notice will require the Council to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
• In certain circumstances, a claim may be made against the Local Planning Authority for compensation, where permission is refused or granted subject to conditions by the Secretary of State on appeal or on a reference of the application to him. The circumstances in which such compensation is payable is set out in Section 114 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

We consider the proposals will have little effect on local character, providing an open market opportunity for a four bedroom property.
3.03 Involvement The planning Policies for Mid Devon District Council have been formulated in public and scrutinised by independent Planning Inspectors at public enquiry. In particular reference is made to MDDC Local Plan Part 3 - Policy DM1 Sustainable development, DM2 Design, DM3, Sustainable Design, DM8 Parking DM14 Design of Housing and DM15 Dwelling Sizes.

This application scheme has been prepared in this context.
4.00 Evaluation Site Investigations were taken prior to preparing a scheme, in order to identify the constraints of the development. These included an assessment of both on-site constraints and features within the surrounding area. The process indicated that any development on the site would be influenced by its proximity to adjacent development, the sloping site and the oblique nature of the site. An appraisal of the site was made away from the site from public footpaths and highways to assess the impact of the development on the general landscape. . 5.00 Use

I refer to the consultation response from South West Water who have advised on the location of their drainage. SWW have been consulted (Angie Brown) at Development Services and it is confirmed that a sewer diversion around the development will be required and that the topographical layout of the site allows for a feasible diversion. An application to divert the sewer can be made once a planning permission has been issued.
Kind regards
Eric

Just writing this one up : noticed SWW comments not shown on Caps : have summarised below .
Summary of SWW comments for CAPS
SOUTH WEST WATER – 14 TH July The applicant/agent is advised to contact SWW if they are unable to comply with our requirements as detailed below. Please find enclosed a plan showing the approx. location of a public sewer in the vicinity.Please note that no development will be permitted within 3 metres of the sewer, and ground cover should not be substantially altered. Should the development encroach on the 3 metre easement, the sewer will need to be diverted at the expense of the applicant. The applicant/agent is advised to contact the Developer Services Planning Team to discuss the matter further. SWW will only allow foul drainage to be connected to the public foul or combined sewer. Permission will not be granted for the surface water from this site to return to the public foul or combined sewerage network. We will request that investigations are carried out to remove the surface water using a suitable Sustainable Urban Drainage System, such as a soakaway. If this is not a viable solution to remove the surface water, please contact the Developer Services Team for further information: [email protected] Tel.:01392 443661
