MEMORANDUM Environment, Housing & Infrastructure Director: Gordon McNeil Tel: My Ref: CK/RD/LF Your Ref: 25/0035/PP Ask For: Roderick Donnelly Date: 21 February 2025 To: Ross Lee, Development Standards Manager Chief Executive’s Service From: Calum Keenan Senior Environmental Health Officer Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Application Number: 25/0035/PP LOCATION: Ferguslie Community Business Park,30 Mckenzie Street The plans are unclear, I do not know if there is lighting being installed and what the commercial units are being used for. Due to the house at 40 Mckenzie Street, this will be directly behind the commercial units and the houses located on Tannahill Rd and St Fergus Grove which is on the boarder of the land I propose. PAN 06 The design, installation and operation of any plant, machinery or equipment shall be such that noise associated with the development does not exceed Noise Rating Curve NR25 between the hours of 2300 to 0700 hours and NR 35 at all other times OR NR35 between the hours of 0700 and 2300 hours with no plant operating outwith these times, when measured within any dwelling in the vicinity of the development. Structure borne vibration from the proposed development shall be imperceptible within any dwelling in the vicinity of the development. For an explanation of noise rating curves, refer to BS 8233:2014 Sound insulation and noise reduction in buildings- code of practice, Annex B PAN. 07 Deliveries and collections by commercial vehicles shall not be made to or from the site between (e.g. 2300 hours) and (e.g. 0700 hours), (e.g. Mondays to Fridays/Saturdays and at no time on Sundays or other Bank or Public Holidays) without the prior written consent of the Planning Authority PAN. 16 It is recommended that the proposed development is not brought into use until the applicant undertakes a survey to determine the impact of floodlighting from the proposed development using the principles set out in British Standard BS EN 12193:2007 Light & Lighting - Sports Lighting, or a method agreed by the Planning Authority.
Page 8
The survey shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Authority and shall include details of:- • a description of the proposed lighting units including height, type, shape and luminous flux of the floodlights. • the luminance levels, both horizontal and vertical, on the illuminated part of the site to demonstrate that obtrusive light and glare does not adversely affect neighbouring properties. • the direction and aiming angle of each floodlight and the upward waste light ratio for each light. • the Environmental Zone, as defined in the Institution of Lighting Engineers Publication – Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light, within which the site falls. It is recommended that works which form part of the scheme viz. (define) are completed before the proposed development becomes operational, unless otherwise agreed by the Planning Authority. “The site of the proposed development may be affected by contamination due to the site (or part of it) having previously been used as a garage and an engineering works. It should be noted that these are not necessarily the only uses previously made of the site. Consequently, we recommend that the following conditions are attached to any planning consent: Condition A: No development shall commence on site until written approval of: a) a Site Investigation report (characterising the nature and extent of any soil, water and gas contamination within the site); and, if remedial works are recommended therein b) a Remediation Strategy and Implementation Plan setting out the proposed methods for implementing all remedial recommendations contained with the site investigation report and including (where relevant) a materials management plan and a phasing plan showing how the site is to be subdivided for the purposes of remedial implementation and/or verification reporting prepared in accordance with current authoritative technical guidance, has been provided by the Planning Authority. Reason: To ensure that the site will be made suitable for its proposed use. Condition B: Prior to occupation of any unit: a) a Verification Report confirming completion of the works specified within the approved Remediation Strategy and Implementation Plan; and/or b) where remediation works are not required but soils are to be imported to site, a Verification Report confirming imported materials are suitable for use shall be submitted to the Planning Authority and approved in writing. Reason: To demonstrate that works required to make the site suitable for use have been completed." Roderick Donnelly Environmental Health Officer

Page 12
What happens to these vehicles if the red line part of the site redevelops - where do all the current cars go? What will the new units be used for ? If class 5, general industrial, or class 6 storage and distribution then adequate parking has been proposed for the new building However, if Sui Generis – motor trade 4 spaces per service bay are required and only half of the parking needed is being proposed The original walking routes into the site have been blocked by fencing and the vehicular access narrowed as can be seen in the picture below – Pedestrian gates should be incorporated in the fence to allow access to both the existing and proposed units and the kerbing should be changed to suit the narrower junction Details of refuse collection and storage should be provided Details of cycle storage should be provided for staff and visitors The applicant should be made aware that the site was once rock quarried and sand was also extracted, leaving the ground unstable. The earlier school and original industrial units built on the site required demolition after structural movement took place. Specially designed foundations will probably be needed for the proposed building taking this into account like the newer/ existing units required Conditions * Notes for intimation to Applicant (i) Construction Consent (s21) REQUIRED / NOT REQUIRED (ii) Road Bond (S17)* REQUIRED / NOT REQUIRED (iii) Road Openings Permit (s56)* REQUIRED / NOT REQUIRED Signed ………………john everett……………..

SW Public General Tuesday, 18 February 2025 Local Planner Renfrewshire Council (Planning Authority) Renfrewshire Council Paisley PA1 1AN Dear Customer, Ferguslie Community Business Park, 30 Mckenzie Street, Paisley, PA3 1LP Planning Ref: 25/0035/PP Our Ref: DSCAS-0126967-R7Z Proposal: Erection of building comprising of 6 commercial units alongside parking and associated works Please quote our reference in all future correspondence Scottish Water has no objection to this planning application. 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 • This proposed development is within the Laighpark Paisley Water Treatment Works catchment. To allow us to fully appraise the proposals we suggest that the applicant completes a Pre-Development Enquiry (PDE) Form and submits it directly to Scottish Water via our Customer Portal Waste Water Capacity Assessment • There is currently sufficient capacity for a foul only connection in the Blairlinnans Waste 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. Development Operations The Bridge Buchanan Gate Business Park Cumbernauld Road Stepps Glasgow G33 6FB Development Operations Freephone Number - 0800 3890379 E-Mail - DevelopmentOperations@scottishwater.co.uk www.scottishwater.co.uk
Page 14
SW Public General 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. For reasons of sustainability and to protect our customers from potential future sewer flooding, Scottish Water will typically require surface water to be eliminated from any new discharges of trade effluent. Asset Impact Assessment Scottish Water records indicate that there is live infrastructure in the proximity of your development area that may impact on existing Scottish Water assets. • 225mm surface water sewer • 225mm combined sewer • 63mm MDPE water main The applicant must identify any potential conflicts with Scottish Water assets and contact our Asset Impact Team via our Customer Portal for an appraisal of the proposals. The applicant should be aware that any conflict with assets identified will be subject to restrictions on proximity of construction. Please note the disclaimer at the end of this response. Written permission must be obtained before any works are started within the area of our apparatus.

SW Public General Next Steps: • Non Domestic/Commercial Property: Since the introduction of the Water Services (Scotland) Act 2005 in April 2008 the water industry in Scotland has opened to market competition for non-domestic customers. All non-domestic household customers now require a Licensed Provider to act on their behalf for new water and waste water connections. Further details can be obtained at www.scotlandontap.gov.uk • Trade Effluent Discharge from Non-Domestic Property: Certain discharges from non-domestic premises may constitute a trade effluent in terms of the Sewerage (Scotland) Act 1968. Trade effluent arises from activities including; manufacturing, production and engineering; vehicle, plant and equipment washing, waste and leachate management. It covers both large and small premises, including activities such as car washing and launderettes. Activities not covered include hotels, caravan sites or restaurants. If you are in any doubt as to whether the discharge from your premises is likely to be trade effluent, please contact us on 0800 778 0778 or email TEQ@scottishwater.co.uk using the subject “Is this Trade Effluent?". Discharges that are deemed to be trade effluent need to apply separately for permission to discharge to the sewerage system. The forms and application guidance notes can be found here. Trade effluent must never be discharged into surface water drainage systems as these are solely for draining rainfall run off. For food services establishments, Scottish Water recommends a suitably sized grease trap is fitted within the food preparation areas, so the development complies with Standard 3.7 a) of the Building Standards Technical Handbook and for best management and housekeeping practices to be followed which prevent food waste, fat oil and grease from being disposed into sinks and drains. The Waste (Scotland) Regulations which require all non-rural food businesses, producing more than 5kg of food waste per week, to segregate that waste for separate collection. The regulations also ban the use of food waste disposal units that dispose of food waste to the public sewer. Further information can be found at www.resourceefficientscotland.com 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.
