Contours and Levels Overview (Dwg No. SEAH-CLK-ZZ-EX.ZZ-DR-C-1700 Rev P04) received by the Local Planning Authority on 19/04/22

I can confirm that the drainage plans submitted are satisfactory to Northumbrian Water, as the details are in line with our pre-planning enquiry response and therefore condition 13 can be released.

It should be noted that the Lead Local Flood Authority, as statutory consultee on flood risk and drainage matters, should also be consulted regarding the discharge of any drainage conditions, as the requirements of the Lead Local Flood Authority may differ to those of Northumbrian Water.

The LLFA would offer no objection to the partial discharge of condition 12 & 13 in relation to phase 3 works. The development for SeAH Monopile Manufacturing Facility shall be carried out in strict accordance with the submitted information.

Conditions 12 and 13

The drainage information has been reviewed by the Council as Local Lead Flood Authority and Northumbrian Water. The information submitted in so far as it relates to the proposed SeAH development is considered to be acceptable and therefore conditions 12 and 13 can be discharged.

The drainage conditions relate to a commercial/industrial development which would not attract a large number of visitors and therefore while the site is within the catchment for nutrient neutrality the development is outside of scope and no additional information is therefore required.

Condition 32

The information submitted relates to the proposed finished floor levels of the SeAH development site. The outline permission through the parameters plan established a minimum finished floor level of 5.79 AOD. The submitted plans that seek to discharge the condition relating to finished floor levels seek a finished floor level of the main building at 10.0m AOD, with the remainder of the site ranging between 8.625m and 10.15m. The proposed levels are considered to be acceptable given the location of the site and the development proposed. It is therefore considered that condition 32 can be discharged.

Taking into account the content of the report the recommendation is to partially discharge conditions 12, 13 and 32 of application R-2020/0357/OOM-Officer Report in so far as it relates to Phase 3 of the outline application (Reserved Matters for first end user SeAH Monopile Manufacturing Facility).
