INFORMATIVES

DBC Environmental Health

Un-expected Contaminated Land Informative

Our contaminated land record shows that the land is located on a landmark historic contaminated land use of an un-specified factory or works site of medium risk. There is a possibility that this may have affected the application site with potentially contaminated material. Therefore, I recommend that the developer be advised to keep a watching brief during ground works where applicable on the site for any potentially contaminated material. Should any such material be encountered, then the Council must be informed without delay, advised of the situation and an appropriate course of action agreed.

Construction Hours of Working – (Plant & Machinery) Informative

In accordance with the councils adopted criteria, all noisy works associated with site demolition, site preparation and construction works shall be limited to the following hours: 0730hrs to 1830hrs on Monday to Saturdays, no works are permitted at any time on Sundays or bank holidays.

Hertfordshire Highways

Obstruction of public highway land

 It is an offence under section 137 of the Highways Act 1980 for any person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way to wilfully obstruct the free passage along a highway or public right of way. If this development is likely to result in the public highway or public right of way network becoming routinely blocked (fully or partly) the applicant must contact the Highway Authority to obtain their permission and requirements before construction works commence. Further information is available via the website http://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/transtreets/highways/  or by telephoning 0300 1234047

Road Deposits

It is an offence under section 148 of the Highways Act 1980 to deposit mud or other debris on the public highway, and section 149 of the same Act gives the Highway Authority powers to remove such material at the expense of the party responsible. Therefore, best practical means shall be taken at all times to ensure that all vehicles leaving the site during construction of the development are in a condition such as not to emit dust or deposit mud, slurry or other debris on the highway. Further information is available via the website http://www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/services/transtreets/highways/ or by telephoning 0300 1234047

Environment Agency

Finished Floor Levels

We recommend that finished floor levels for the proposed development are set as high as is practically possible, ideally 300millimetres above the 1 in 100 chance in any year including an allowance for climate change flood level. This is to protect the proposed development from flooding.

Flood Risk Activity Permit

This development may require a permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 from the Environment Agency for any proposed works or structures, in, under, over or within eight metres of the culverted River Ver, designated a 'main river'. This was formerly called a Flood Defence Consent. A permit is separate to and in addition to any planning permission granted.
