- a biofilter;
- a 14.5m high biofilter stack
.The company must also fulfil a number of planning requirements prior to the commencement of the development, including a scheme detailing surface water drainage arrangements and full drainage plans.
The scheme will be required limit the surface water run-off discharge rate for the development siteto the maximum allowable Greenfield rate of 5 litres/second/hectare, and be designed with suitable attenuation to store the additional peak flow stormwater calculated for the 1 in 30 year up to the 1 in 100 year return periods, with an allowance of 30% for climate change, without causing on-site flooding or flooding to third party property on adjacent land.
