6. Note to applicant: There is a 100mm diameter water main in the vicinity of the site. This requires a 6m clearance on either side to protect it from construction works and to allow for future maintenance. No excavation, mounding or tree planting should be carried out within 6m of the external edge of the public water main without consent from Southern Water. All existing infrastructure, including protective coatings and cathodic protection, should be protected during the course of construction works.

For further advice, please contact Southern Water: Home - Southern Water; email: SouthernWaterPlanning@southernwater.co.uk.

For further information, please refer to: Section 278 agreement | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk). This will require the existing land ownership details for the full access route into the site that will be served by the southern access. Should any changes to the access proposals be required as a result of the S278 process, approval of the amended plan will need to be sought from the Local Planning Authority.
