The on-site drainage layout will be designed as a gravity fed system. An on-site pumping station may be required to allow discharge from the development site to the existing public sewer in Church Road. 3.0 Surface Water Drainage Strategy 3.1 The Code of Practice for Sustainable Drainage Systems provides a flexible approach to drainage systems with a wide range of components and includes a hierarchy of techniques. These are:- 1. Prevention - The use of good site design and housekeeping measures on site to prevent run-off and pollution. 2. Source Control - Control of run off at or very near to its source. 3. Site Control - Management of water from several sub catchment areas. 4. Regional Control - Management of run off from several sites, typically in a detention pond or wetland. 3.2 With the above in mind surface water disposal will respect the hierarchy of techniques outlined above. 3.3 Prevention will be at the forefront of the development of the site with the site set out to maximise the areas of soft landscaping. 3.4 Source control is to be introduced in the following ways:- Site investigation works are expected to establish that deep borehole soakaways are feasible for the site. Surface water from roofs will be discharged from individual plots to deep borehole soakaways located a minimum of 5m from the properties within open space areas. Surface water run off from private drives and access roads will discharge to permeable paving where surface water will infiltrate to the underlying ground via deep soakaway boreholes. The infiltration design will ensure no surcharging or flooding occurs at the 1 in 100 year event with a 30% allowance for climate change. The porous sub base will be designed to the required storage volume for a 1 in 30 year rainfall event. 3.5 Rainfall within soft landscaped areas will be allowed to permeate thought the ground in order to mimic as closely as possible the natural drainage from the site before development. 4.0 Conclusions 4.1 The above shows that it is feasible to provide both foul and surface water drainage to the proposed development site on land to the south of Church Road, Colden Common.

A topographical survey is to be commissioned which will more accurately assess the level differences across the site. 1.3 The Technical Guidance to the National Planning Policy Framework was published to ensure that flood risk is taken into account at all stages in the planning process to avoid inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding with the requirement for a flood risk assessment which appraises, manages and reduces the risk of flooding. 1.4 This site specific flood risk assessment is required to meet the minimum requirements set out in the Technical Guidance to the National Planning Policy Framework 2.0 Flood Risk Assessment Tidal Flood Risk 2.1 The site is located inland 12.0 kilometres from Southampton Water and thus is not susceptible to Tidal Flood Risk. Fluvial Flood Risk 2.2 The Environment Agency has been consulted to determine whether the site is at risk of flooding. The Floodplain Map attached, centred on land south of Church Road, Colden Common SO21 1TS shows that the site is outside the designated Flood Zone 3 (High Probability - flooding from a river with a 1 in 100 or greater chance of happening each year) or Flood Zone 2 (Medium Probability - flooding from rivers with up to a 1 in 1000 chance of occurring each year). The development site can therefore be designated as being within Flood Zone 1 assessed to have a less than 1 in 10000 annual probability of river or sea flooding in any year. 2.3 The closest source of fluvial flooding is a tributary of the River Itchen located 0.2 km to the north of the site. The EA flood map shows that the site is not susceptible to fluvial flooding. 2.4 Land within Flood Zone 1 is appropriate for all uses. Groundwater Flood Risk 2.5 The 1:50 000 Geological Survey of Great Britain (England & Wales) sheet number 315 of the Southampton area shows the site to be located on the Reading Formation. Quaternary Clay with Flint deposits overlies the Upper Chalk Formation which outcrops to the north of the site.
