Informatives:

1.         The Local Planning Authority has acted positively and proactively in determining this application by assessing the proposal against planning policy and any other material considerations, including any representations that have been received.

2.         Welsh Water Advice:

            If a connection is required to the public sewerage system, the developer is advised to contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's Developer Services on 0800 917 2652.

            Some public sewers and lateral drains may not be recorded on our maps of public sewers because they were originally privately owned and were transferred into public ownership by nature of the Water Industry (Schemes for Adoption of Private Sewers) Regulations 2011.  The presence of such assets may affect the proposal.  In order to assist us in dealing with the proposal we request the applicant contacts our Operations Contact Centre on 0800 085 3968 to establish the location and status of the sewer.  Under the Water Industry Act 1991 Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has rights of access to its apparatus at all times.

            The Welsh Government have introduced new legislation that will make it mandatory for all developers who wish to communicate with the public sewerage system to obtain an adoption agreement for their sewerage with Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW).  The Welsh Ministers Standards for the construction of sewerage apparatus and an agreement under Section 104 of the Water Industry Act (WIA)1991 will need to be completed in advance of any authorisation to communicate with the public sewerage system under Section 106 WIA 1991 being granted by DCWW.

            Welsh Government introduced the Welsh Ministers Standards on 1 October 2012 and we would welcome your support in informing applicants who wish to communicate with the public sewerage system to engage with use at the earliest opportunity.  Further information on the Welsh Ministers Standards is available for viewing on our Development Services Section of our website - www.dwrcymru.com

            Further information on the Welsh Ministers Standards can be found on the Welsh Government website - www.wales, gov.uk
