SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT NO. 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION 
Members will recall that at the last meeting of PPSL on 20th March 2024 Members were
satisfied with all AMSC submissions made, with the exception of those related to conditions
11 and 12 which relate to drainage and flooding matters.  
Additional clarification on technical matters was sought by Members at this meeting relating
to the drainage and the flooding submissions.  Planning Officers were not qualified to provide
this technical advice and therefore a hearing to examine these specific matters in more detail
was determined by Members to be required.  For ease of reference conditions 11 and 12, are
set out below;
Condition 11 
“Pursuant to Condition 1 – no development shall commence until the following details have
been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority:
i) Details of the proposed cut off ditch (or similar) to be located along the northern
border of the site, along with calculations demonstrating that this proposed
mitigation measure will not exacerbate flooding elsewhere;
ii) The existing flow pathway in the vicinity of the sewer line shall be maintained;
iii) A detailed drainage assessment and layout;
iv) Method Statement detailing the surface water containment during construction.” 
Reason: In order to ensure appropriate mitigation for flood risk

Condition 12 
“Pursuant to Condition 1 – full details of the proposed SUDs shall be submitted to and
approved in writing by the Planning Authority. Thereafter the development shall commence in
accordance with these details. These details shall include:
i) Full details of the proposed design and appearance of the SUDs facility to be designed
in accordance with CIRIA C753;
ii) Detailed design calculations for this facility;
iii) Details of the proposed drainage of the SUDs facility;
iv) Details of the proposed maintenance regime and maintenance responsibilities for the
SUDs facility;
v) Soil information to be provided if infiltration SUDs are proposed.”
Reason: To ensure the provision of an adequate surface water drainage system and to prevent
flooding.
2.0 Additional Submissions Since last PPSL Meeting
Members are requested to note that since the meeting on 20th March 2024 additional
submissions have been made as follows:
23.05.24 – Submission by Dougall Baillie Associates (Dated 07.05.24) on behalf of Cala
Homes related to to Mr McInally-Gatensby objection submission dated 19.3.24.
10.06.24 – Drainage Strategy Report (Issue 5) submitted by applicant. Updated to reflect
layout changes to house plots fronting Barrs Road. The applicants clarify by
submission that;
‘The report has been updated to reflect the current site layout and subsequent
changes to the drainage layout since issue 4 of the report. The changes to the site
layout were in relation to the plots accessed from Barrs Road. Whilst this resulted
in an amendment to the drainage layout, this had no impact on the proposed
drainage principles or strategy applied in dealing with surface water flows at the
development site and the supporting drainage calculations confirm this.’
13.6.24 – Representation in support of proposal by Cllr Penfold due to housing emergency. 
Cllr Penfold also submitted a request to be heard.
13.6,24 -  E- mail from Mr McInally-Gatensby expressing concerns over prejudice suffered
due to late  publication of  information addressing his previous objections dated
19.3.24. Officers have responded by e-mail dayed 13.6.24 to indicate that they
consider that the hearing should proceed.  This response has been separately
copied to members and placed on public access.
13.6.24 -  Response to Mr McInally- Gatensby objections of 19.04.24 by applicants agent.
This provided clarification on date of submission of their further representations to
the council (22.5.24) and remit of their letter. They consider hearing should proceed.
This has also been placed on public access.
Having regard to the above submissions, officers are of the opinion that any drainage and
flooding matters of a technical nature associated with these submissions will be able to be put

by Members at the hearing to the appropriate parties and experts. Officers are content that
these submissions raise no new issues.

application as set out in the main officer report.
