- Informatives PCC Civils: Pembrokeshire County Council as SuDS Approving Body (SAB) considers that by virtue of the fact that the construction area having drainage implications appears to be in excess of 100 square metres / more than one property; the proposed works will require SAB approval prior to the commencement of any works on site relating to this application. The applicant should be made aware that if there is a breach of the requirement for SAB approval (i.e. when construction work is commenced without SAB approval); the SAB may at any time issue an enforcement notice. The failure to obtain SAB approval may have a detrimental effect upon the future sale of the properties, which could also result in insurance applications and or flood event settlements being compromised. Please see www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/planning-contacts/sustainable-drainage-approving-bodysab for more information PCNPA Ecology: All works at the site must be carried out in accordance with GPP5, ‘Works and maintenance in or near water’ and GPP6 ‘Working at construction and demolition sites’ which are available on the following website: gpp-5-worksand-maintenance-in-or-near-water.pdf (netregs.org.uk) and gpp6-working-onconstruction-and-demolition-sites.pdf (netregs.org.uk).
