5.NOTES - Please read the following notes from the Environment Agency carefully:- The Water Environment: Based on the information provided, the main concern is for swimming pool discharges resulting from the cleaning of filters, filter backwash and the emptying of pool water; drain-down. The discharge of filter backwash will require a permit and the following requirements will be needed to assess the application: The site will need to be assessed for suitability (height of water table, soil conditions etc), there must be no risk of run-off surface waters and a properly constructed soak-away (a reed bed is the preferred option). The applicant may wish to note the use of geotextile membranes can aid retention time of the effluent. If the applicant also proposes to discharge the drain-down water, this may be a de-minimus activity which doesn¿t require a permit if the discharge contains drain-down water only and is 5m3/day or less and the drain-down water is of drinking water quality, with no discernable hazardous substances or concentrations of non-hazardous pollutants above drinking water standards. In addition, the soakaways for the disposal of water should be constructed so that they do not present a risk to groundwater, with the depth of soakaway kept to a minimum to ensure that the maximum possible depth of unsaturated material remains between the base of the soakaway and the top of the water table, ensuring that a direct discharge into groundwater is prevented. We consider that deep bore and other deep soakaway systems are not appropriate in areas where groundwater constitutes a significant resource i.e. where aquifer yield may support or already supports abstraction. Deep soakaways increase the risk of groundwater pollution. See the Environment Agency guidance: Groundwater Protection: Principles and Practice (GP3, 2012) documents particularly G9 for further information. For further information on permitting requirements the applicant should contact the Nation Permitting Centre on 03708 506506 Foul Water Disposal It is understood that the applicant intends to dispose of foul water by connecting to the septic tank servicing the main dwelling. The applicant should complete a Foul Drainage Assessment form to demonstrate the existing system will be able to cope with the additional load and the Environment Agency would be happy to advise the applicants further when this information is received.
6.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner, in accordance with paragraphs 186 and 187 of the NPPF.
