Notes
to applicant:
|
|
|
1.
|
In
reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had
regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a
positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on
solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive
and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and
updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with
the application and where possible suggesting solutions.
|
|
|
2.
|
The
applicant is advised that they will need to apply to the Highways
Authority to create the proposed access and this would require the
application for both a Section 184 and Section 171 Licence. The
final decision rests with the Highways Operation Centre and the
granting of the licence is not guaranteed.
|
|
|
3.
|
The
applicant is advised that if you intend to abstract more than 20
cubic metres of water per day from a surface water source, e.g. a
stream or from underground strata (via borehole or well) for any
particular purpose then you will need an abstraction licence from
the Environment Agency. There is no guarantee that a licence will
be granted as this is dependent on available water resources and
existing protected rights. If you abstract water for potable
purposes, then this should be registered as a private water supply
abstraction with the Local Authority. This will help ensure that
the abstraction is appropriately monitored and help ensure that it
is granted appropriate protection status.
