The applicant should be aware that this does not confirm that the proposed development can currently be serviced. Please read the following carefully as there may be further action required. Scottish Water would advise the following: Water Capacity Assessment • There is currently sufficient capacity in the Perth Water Treatment Works to service your development. However, please note that further investigations may be required to be carried out once a formal application has been submitted to us. Waste Water Capacity Assessment • According to our records there is no public waste water infrastructure within the vicinity of this proposed development therefore we would advise applicant to investigate private treatment options.

SW Business Please Note The applicant should be aware that we are unable to reserve capacity at our water and/or waste water treatment works. When planning permission has been granted and a formal connection application has been submitted, we will review the availability of capacity at that time and advise the applicant accordingly. Surface Water For reasons of sustainability and to protect our customers from potential future sewer flooding, Scottish Water will not accept any surface water connections into our combined sewer system. There may be limited exceptional circumstances where we would allow such a connection for brownfield sites only, however this will require significant justification from the customer taking account of various factors including legal, physical, and technical challenges. In order to avoid costs and delays where a surface water discharge to our combined sewer system is anticipated, the developer should refer to our guides which can be found at https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/Help-and-Resources/Document-Hub/Business-and- Developers/Connecting-to-Our-Network which detail our policy and processes to support the application process, evidence to support the intended drainage plan should be submitted at the technical application stage where we will assess this evidence in a robust manner and provide a decision that reflects the best option from environmental and customer perspectives. Next Steps: Single house developments; unless utilising private water or drainage sources, are required to submit a Water Connection Application and Waste Water Application via our Customer Portal to allow us to fully appraise the proposals. Please note that Single House developments are not required to submit a Pre-Development Enquiry form (PDE) however local network capacity will be assessed on receipt of application forms. Further information on our application and connection process for Single Household development can be found on our website https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/Business- and-Developers/NEW-Connecting-to-Our-Network/Single-Household-Customers I trust the above is acceptable however if you require any further information regarding this matter, please contact me on 0800 389 0379 or via the e-mail address below or at planningconsultations@scottishwater.co.uk. Yours sincerely, Ruth Kerr Development Services Analyst PlanningConsultations@scottishwater.co.uk

M e m o r To Development Management & Building Standards Service Manager Your ref 25/01525/FLL Date 19 November 2025 Housing and Communities a n d u m From Environmental Health Our ref LJA Tel No 01738 475248 Pullar House, 35 Kinnoull Street, Perth PH1 5GD Consultation on an Application for Planning Permission 25/01525/FLL RE: Erection of dwellinghouse, garage/store, installation of air source heat pump and associated works at Land 90m West of Obney Croft (Garage Flat), Waterloo, Bankfoot, PH1 4AS for Mr and Mrs Frank MacDonald I refer to your letter dated 13 November 2025 in connection with the above application and have the following comments to make. Environmental Health Recommendation I have no objection in principle to the application but recommend the under noted informative be included on any given consent. Comments The applicant is proposing the erection of a dwellinghouse, garage/store and installation of an air source heat pump (ASHP) at land 90m W of Obney Croft, Waterloo. The ASHP to be located on the North East elevation of the property. Noise Supporting information supplied with the application states the make and model of the ASHP to be installed is a Vailant aroTHERM plus12kV. Data provides indicates this model has a sound power level of 51dB(A). The World Health Organisation (WHO) issued guidance in 1999 in relation to noise, at which time it was recommended that the following sound levels should be maintained: Leq50- 55dB(A) in outdoor living areas, Leq35dB(A) in internal living areas and Leq30dB(A) in bedrooms. This guidance is consistent with BS8233:2014 which recommends the following sound level ranges: Leq30-40dB(A) in living areas and Leq30-35dB(A) in bedrooms. Given the distance attenuation to neighbouring properties these levels should be achievable for airborne noise allowing for 10-15dB reduction by a partially open window. The sound levels recommended in the guidance do not take into account the relative noise level at octave frequency bands. Fixed plant of this type can create noise which has characteristics that are not adequately quantified by means of a Leq limit. Therefore, to

protect residential amenity, I recommend that the standard informative based on Noise Rating, be included on any given consent. Informative ASHP The Air Source Heat Pump shall be certificated in accordance with Microgeneration Certification Scheme 007 and installed by an installation company certificated in accordance with Microgeneration Installation Standard 3005 and in compliance with the calculation procedure contained in Table 1 of Microgeneration Certification Scheme Planning Standards (MCS 020(a)), confirming that the permitted development noise limit of 37 dB LAeq, 5 mins will be met. In addition, the Air Source Heat Pump shall be so enclosed, attenuated and/or maintained such that any noise therefrom shall not exceed Noise Rating 35 between 0700 and 2300 hours daily, or Noise Rating 25 between 2300 and 0700 hours daily, within any neighbouring residential property, with all windows slightly open, when measured and/ or calculated and plotted on a rating curve chart.
