Water Issues |
|
|
|
The Senior Engineer at Thames Water handling the Bramley sewerage issues has provided a copy of the statement he made for the Stocks Farm planning appeal. This essentially restates that Thames Water: · are working on a strategy for Bramley’s existing waste water problems · are not building in any capacity for future expansion of the village · have no firm timescale for the completion of the strategy and resulting work · would normally request as a planning condition that no occupations are made from the development site until either (1) the network reinforcement works are completed or (2) an infrastructure phasing plan has been agreed between Thames Water and the relevant developer(s) This statement is available to view on the BDBC planning portal. |
