Drainage Report – Cullompton<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some areas of Cullompton are designated as a critical drainage area<\/a>. You may have a planning condition which states that:<\/p>\n

“As the application site falls within the Cullompton Critical Drainage Area, please submit a Flood risk Assessment”<\/i>

<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/i>
<\/i>A flood risk assessment<\/a> typical is focused on flood risk to the site, when what is required in a Critical Drainage is a Surface Water Drainage Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The way to deal with most domestic \/ residential drainage requirement is permeable paves, with added features. Mots consider this an expensive option, but this is due to lack of understanding.<\/p>\n

In order to capture run off you must provide a volume of “holding” (an attenuation volume) this usually provided my the spaces between gravels in a soak-away<\/a> trench.<\/p>\n

But why not use these same gravel as a sub-base for permeable paving? You will have to import fill for driveways anyhow. You end up using the aggregate twice for soak-away<\/a> and for sub-base.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Water from roofs can be fed in to the sub base, and drive water just soaks straight in, avoid the requirement for gullies etc. There are no blockages from leaves.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
