Case Study: Banbury Street, Talke

Drainage Strategy Suitable for planning:

Onn Point were appointed by a local architect to assist their client with their planning conditions relating to drainage.

Drainage Condition:

Prior to the commencement of development, details of a sustainable surface water drainage scheme and a foul water drainage scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The drainage schemes created by our drainage design consultants must include:

1. An investigation of the hierarchy of drainage options in the National Planning Practice Guidance (or any subsequent amendment thereof). This investigation shall include evidence of an assessment of ground conditions and the potential for infiltration of surface water in accordance with BRE365;

2. (A restricted rate of discharge of surface water agreed with the local planning authority (if it is agreed that infiltration is discounted by the investigations);

3. Levels of the proposed drainage systems including proposed ground and finished floor levels in AOD; (iv) Incorporate mitigation measures to manage the risk of sewer surcharge where applicable; and (v) Foul and surface water shall drain on separate systems.

Design Package:

Ground conditions were investigated and a full drainage design package was produced along with supporting soakaway design calculations, construction details and maintenance strategy. The sustainable drainage strategy successfully met the stringent planning conditions and contributed towards the preservation of local ecosystems, while minimising the project’s environmental impact.

Rob from On Point is exceptionally professional and an all-round great person to work with. We had a very complex project, and he supported us at every stage, helping us navigate all the challenges right through to securing planning permission. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing drainage design or similar services. Thank you so much, Rob — you’re a star!

We instructed Rob and his team to design a drainage strategy for our New Build in Plymouth. The LLFA raised several points that needed addressing which Rob made a priority to complete. Even though our Architect wanted to proceed to full planning with a pre condition, Rob eventually managed to address all points raised and we now have full planning permission approved by the LLFA. Our build is very complex and Rob overcome every hurdle. We can’t thank Rob and his team enough for their dedication and expertise.

We needed a surface water drainage plan to satisfy a pre commencement planning condition. Onn Point Civil Engineering produced a very good report which was approved by the local council and at a sensible price too

I fully recommend Onn-Point Civil Engineering ltd, we used them for retrospective drain planning, SUDS Reports, Percolation Tests & Drainage Design, on our single dwelling construction, in Mid Sussex. Rob and Andrew were extremely supportive and guided us through the process and produced a very comprehensive report, for town planning which was successful for our application. this helped us a great deal/ They are without doubt very experienced in their field. I would use them again. Tim Lamont
