Highways

The applicant will need to obtain the consent of the highways authority (CEC) for any work in, or that may affect the public highway. The applicant should contact Crewe area office (CEC) before constructing or altering any access. This work should be carried out under a section 184 licence.

Any new access or alterations to an existing access must be approved by the LPA prior to development and constructed in accordance with the approved drawings and to CEC specification. Any new gates shouldopen inwards and be set back from the edge of the highway to allow the largest of vehicles using this site to park off highway.

United Utilities

Should this planning application be approved, the applicant should contact UU Service Enquiries on 0845 7462200 regarding connection to the water mains/public sewers

United Utilities offers a fully supported mapping service at a modest cost for our electricity, water mains and sewerage assets. This is a service, which is constantly updated by our Map Services Team (Tel No: 0870 7510101) and I recommend that the applicant give early consideration in project design as it is better value than traditional methods of data gathering. It is, however, the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate the exact relationship on site between any assets that may cross the site and any proposed development.

Environment Agency

This development will require an Environmental Permit under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2007 from the Environment Agency, unless an exemption applies.

The Duty of Care regulations for dealing with waste materials are applicable for any off-site movements of wastes. It should be ensured that all materials removed go to an appropriate licensed disposal site and all relevant documentation is completed and kept in line with the Duty of Care regulations.

It should be ensured that there is no possibility of contaminated water entering and polluting surface or groundwater.

If any controlled waste is to be removed off site, it must be ensured that a registered waste carrier is used to convey the waste material off site to a suitably authorised facility.
