- Redbridge Planning Service adopts a positive and proactive approach when engaging with applicants/agents in line with the National Planning Policy Framework. We encourage engagement with the pre-application service to avoid delays in the planning process. https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning/ The proposal does not comply with policy and no pre-application discussions were entered into. The applicant is encouraged to seek pre-application advice prior to the submission of any future planning application.
- The applicant should be aware that Building Regulations approval will be required for most types of building work. Please see information and how to apply for Building Regulation consent at: https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/planning-and-building/building-control/ or for further assistance contact the Building Control Section. e-mail: Buildingcontrol@redbridge.gov.uk Telephone: 020 8708 2529.
- The following advice should be followed regarding the proposed basement: • Basement to be fully waterproofed (tanked) and waterproofing to be tied in to the ground floor slab as appropriate: to reduce the turnaround time for returning the property to full operation after a flood event. • Plaster boards should be installed in horizontal sheets rather than conventional vertical installation methods to minimise the amount of plasterboard that could be damaged in a flood event. • Wall sockets should be raised to as high as is feasible and practicable in order to minimise damage if flood waters inundate the property. Sockets must be fed from the ceiling down. • Any wood fixings on basement / ground floor should be robust and/or protected by suitable coatings in order to minimise damage during a flood event. • The basement waterproofing where feasible should be extended to an appropriate level above existing ground levels. • There should be a small sump area installed within the basement floor in the event that the basement does flood. The sump pump should be fitted with a non-return valve to prevent water backing up into the property should the mains sewer become full. • An 'ACO Drain', or similar approved, should be installed at the base of the ramp down into the basement to prevent surface water run-off from entering the basement area.
- The Applicant is encouraged to consider implementing some small sustainable urban drainage systems such as rain gardens or rainwater harvesting butts where possible.
