Please note:
- The public foul and combined sewers requires a clearance of 3 metres on either side of the gravity sewers to protect it from construction works and to allow for future access for maintenance.
- No development or tree planting should be carried out within 3 metres of the external edge of the public gravity sewers without consent from Southern Water.
- The 90 mm public water distribution main requires a clearance of 6 metres on either side of the water main to protect it from construction works and to allow for future access for maintenance.
- No excavation, mounding or tree planting should be carried out within 6 metres of the external edge of the public water main without consent from Southern Water.
- No soakaway, swales, ponds, watercourses or any other surface water retaining or conveying features should be located within 5 metres of public sewers and water main.
- All existing infrastructure should be protected during the course of construction works.
Please refer to: southernwater.co.uk/media/3011/stand-off-distances.pdf.
Southern Water have restrictions on the proposed tree planting adjacent to Southern Water sewers, rising mains or water mains and any such proposed assets in the vicinity of existing planting. Reference should be made to Southern Water's publication “A Guide to Tree Planting near water Mains and Sewers” (southernwater.co.uk/media/3027/ds-tree-planting-guide.pdf) and the Sewerage Sector Guidance (water.org.uk/sewerage-sector-guidance-approved-documents/) with regards to any landscaping proposals and Southern Water restrictions and maintenance of tree planting adjacent to sewers, rising mains and water mains.
4. It is possible that a sewer now deemed to be public could be crossing the development site. Therefore, should any sewer be found during construction works, an investigation of the sewer will be required to ascertain its ownership before any further works commence on site.
Southern Water requires a formal application for a connection to the public surface water sewer to be made by the applicant or developer.
To make an application visit Southern Water's Get Connected service: developerservices.southernwater.co.uk and please read the New Connections Charging Arrangements documents which is available on the website via the following link: southernwater.co.uk/developing-building/connection-charging-arrangements
In situations where surface water is being considered for discharge to Southern Waters network, they require the below hierarchy for surface water to be followed which is reflected in part H3 of the Building Regulations:
- Reuse
- Infiltration
- Watercourse
- Strom sewer
- Combined Sewer
Guidance on Building Regulations is here: gov.uk/government/publications/drainage-and-waste-disposal-approved-doc ument-h
5. Under certain circumstances SuDS will be adopted by Southern Water should this be requested by the developer. Where SuDS form part of a continuous sewer system, and are not an isolated end of pipe SuDS component, adoption will be considered if such systems comply with the latest Sewers for Adoption (Appendix C) and CIRIA guidance available here:
water.org.uk/sewerage-sector-guidance-approved-documents/ ciria.org/Memberships/The_SuDS_Manual_C753_Chapters.aspx
Where SuDS rely upon facilities which are not adoptable by sewerage undertakers the applicant will need to ensure that arrangements exist for the long-term maintenance of the SuDS facilities. It is critical that the effectiveness of these systems is maintained in perpetuity. Good management will avoid flooding from the proposed surface water system, which may result in the inundation of the foul sewerage system.
Thus, where a SuDS scheme is to be implemented, the drainage details submitted to the Local Planning Authority should:
- Specify the responsibilities of each party for the implementation of the SuDS scheme.
- Specify a timetable for implementation.
- Provide a management and maintenance plan for the lifetime of the development.
This should include the arrangements for adoption by any public authority or statutory undertaker and any other arrangements to secure the operation of the scheme throughout its lifetime.
