Hydrogeology:With reference toEnvironmentAgencydata, the superficial hydrogeologyunderlying

the Site is classified as a Secondary (Undifferentiated) Aquifer (deposits with

variable/limited permeability) and the bedrock hydrogeology is classified as a

Secondary(B)Aquifer(formationswithlimitedpermeability).

The overlying soils are not given a separate soil vulnerability classification, however

theywouldgenerallyberegardedashavingalowpermeability.

According to information provided by the Environment Agency the Site does not lie

BGSGeoreport:I have attached a copy of the BGS SUDS infiltration report for the plot. The report

The reportdoes identify constraints togroundwater infiltration,however it indicates

The report does not indicate any ground stability issues in relation to infiltration on

Any occasional additional surface runoff will be dealt with by draining to adjacent

Summary:Site investigations and research have indicated that infiltration should be possible,

space constraints and volume requirements indicate that soakaway systems should

adequatelydraintherainfallfromroofareaswithintheconfinesofthesitearea.

proposedthatanalternativesolutionbeimplemented.

Strategy2:

SurfaceWaterDrainageAttenuation:Should space constraints, high ground water levels or inadequate percolation data

indicate that infiltration is not an option then a different solution will be required.

UsingtheSUDSHierarchythenextoptiontoexplorewouldbetheuseofAttenuation.

However looking at the site area is likely that itwill beplausible to use someof the

methods described above for large areas of the site, such as driveways, patio areas

shareddriveways andgarden space, and itwill just be the volumesproducedby the

roofareaswhichwillneedtobedealtwith.

Using the STW mapping the nearest indicated surface water drains are in Ellison

3. On 1 October 2011 most private sewers and private lateral drains in Severn Trent Water's sewerage area, which were connected to a public sewer as at 1 July 2011, transferred to the

ownership of Severn Trent Water and became public sewers and public lateral drains. A further transfer takes place on 1 October 2012 (date to be confirmed).Private pumping stations, which form part of these sewers or lateral drains, will transfer to the ownership of Severn Trent Water on or before 1 October 2016.

Severn Trent Water does not possess complete records of these assets.These assets may not be displayed on this Map.

This report was produced using the greenfield runoff tool developed by HR Wallingford and available at www.uksuds.com. The use of this tool is subject to the UK SuDS terms and conditions and licence agreement, which can both be found at http://uksuds.com/terms-and-conditions.htm. The outputs from this tool have been used to estimate storage volume requirements. The use of these results is the responsibility of the users of this tool.

Greenfield runoff estimation for sites

www.u suds.com Greenfield runoff tool

This is an estimation of the greenfield runoff rate limits that are needed to meet normal best practice criteria in line with Environment Agency guidance Preliminary rainfall runoff management for developments , W5 0 4/A/TR1/1 rev. E (2012) and the SuDS Manual, C 53 (Ciria, 2015). This information on greenfield runoff rates may be the basis for setting consents for the drainage of surface water runoff from sites.
