288.0 Other IssuesLand East of Parsonage Lane, South Molton (Proposal SMO2d) ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT BRIEFArchaeology8.1 In 1994 an area of burnt charcoal-rich clay was identified within the centre of the siteduring the monitoring of service trench excavations. As such material can often indicatesettlement sites, Devon County Historic Environment Service advised that, prior todevelopment, a process of archaeological investigation should be undertaken.8.2 In response to this, a full Archaeological survey of the site has been undertaken includingan area of trial trenching. No archaeological deposits of intrest were found and thereforethe development of the site will have minimal archaeological impact. Full details of theexcavation works can be made available on request.Flood Risk8.3 Although the Environment Agency flood mapping indicates there to be no floodplainwithin the site, a Flood Risk Assessment should be submitted with any future applicationto demonstrate that the development proposals can be undertaken without resulting inflooding in the 1-in-100-year event. The requirements of PPS25 should be met in relationto flood risks to the site, from all sources, and the management of surface water runoff.8.4 A preliminary Flood Risk Assessment has already been undertaken which identifies that areceiving watercourse flows through the site, generally in an easterly direction with thetopography, to a point at the north-eastern corner of the site, where the watercourse sinksinto a culvert which passes under Station Road.8.5 This culvert extends under a field and discharges into the River Mole. The developmentproposals will need to demonstrate that this culvert is in an adequate condition and hassufficient capacity to enable the discharge of the surface water run-off via this route.8.6 It is recognised that the subsoil of many areas of the site is unsuitable for the use ofsoakaway features. The Council will, however, require the introduction of other forms ofSustainable Urban Drainage where possible, in accordance with Policy DVS7 of the LocalPlan. An opportunity exists to create an attenuation pond within the site to manage surfacewater run-off. The natural location for a pond is at the upstream end of the Station Roadculvert, where the existing topography forms a bowl. If required, the structural stability ofthe embankment will need to be investigated, and details of the design and treatmentof the attenuation pond provided. In addition to the attenuation pond, the provision ofother suitable drainage features, such as a system of swales within the green corridor sewereasement strip, will be encouraged.Services8.7 A water main runs diagonally across the site. Development proposals will need toincorporate its route into the design.8.8 Overhead cables cut across the site, north to south, in two places towards the east andwestern edges of the site. It will be necessary to realign, or relocate underground, the routeof these cables through any development proposal for the site. All works to the overheadlines will be carried out in association with Western Power Distribution.April 2008RPS Planning
Sustainable Building298.9 In line with Policy ECN15, at least 15% of the predicted energy requirements across thedevelopment scheme should be provided by way of renewable energy generation. Theapplicant should demonstrate through which methods the energy will be generated andhow this contributes to the overall predicted requirements across the scheme by way ofon-site renewable energy generation. The Council will also require the developer to providesufficient on-site renewable energy to reduce carbon output from energy use by usersof the dwellings constructed to a level that exceeds the regulated emissions to Part L ofBuilding Regulations 2006 in accordance with Policy RE5 of the draft RSS. This requirementwill be reviewed in accordance with this policy in the adopted version of the RSS.8.10 Due to the site’s topography, it is likely that significant amounts of ground remodelling willbe required in its development. In the interests of sustainability, the Council will expect theapplicant to submit a waste audit statement and adopt a strategy to minimise the amountof material being transported off-site, through the reuse of excavated earth elsewhereon-site. The developer will also be required to provide adequate waste managementinfrastructure within the development such as recycling centres or a community compostingscheme or provide financial contributions towards such facilities elsewhere in the SouthMolton area.8.11 Each residential dwelling should include provision of storage for wheelie bins and recyclingcontainers, which are easily accessible for collection by refuse/recycling vehicles inaccordance with the Council’s adopted ‘Design Guide on Refuse Storage for NewResidential Properties SPD’. The developer will also be encouraged to provide a water buttfor each residential dwelling in order to recycle rainwater runoff for use in the garden.Land East of Parsonage Lane, South Molton (Policy SMO2d) ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT BRIEFRPS PlanningApril 2008
