Informative

 

1. The development hereby approved is subject to a Section 106 Agreement between the applicant and Eastbourne Borough Council for local labour contributions.

2. The development hereby approved is subject to a Section 106 Agreement between the applicant and Eastbourne Borough Council for affordable housing contributions.

3. Failure to comply with any condition imposed on this permission may result in enforcement action without further warning.

4. The proposal may be a material change of use to which the Building Regulations 1991 apply and a building regulation submission may be necessary before the change of use takes place.

5. The applicant should consult the Building Control Section with regard to sound insulation and sprinkler system.

6. A formal application for connection to the public sewerage system is required in order to service this development, please contact Southern Water, Sparrowgrove House, Sparrowgrove, Otterbourne, Hampshire SO21 2SW (Tel: 0330 303 0119) or www.southernwater.co.uk

7. It is the responsibly of the developer to make suitable provision for the disposal if surface water. Part H of the Building Regulations prioritises the means of surface water disposal in the order

a) Adequate soakaway or infiltration system

b) Water course

c) Where neither of the above is practicable sewer

8. Due to changes in legislation that came in to force on 1st October 2011 regarding the future ownership of sewers it is possible that a sewer now deemed to be public could be crossing the above property. Therefore, should any sewer be found during construction works, an investigation of the sewer will be required to ascertain its condition, the number of properties served, and the potential means of access before any further works commence on site.

9. The applicant is advised to discuss the matter further with Southern Water, Sparrowgrove House, Sparrowgrove, Otterbourne, Hampshire SO21 2SW (Tel: 0330 303 0119) or www.southernwater.co.uk

10. In order to provide a safe and secure environment for future residents, Sussex Police suggest the following recommendations are implemented:

• Communal entrance doors are to be checked to ensure they are fit for purpose and have locks that conform to BS3621 / 8621 respectively, and has a door entry system compete with remote access from the flats. Access control would be advantageous.

• Flat front doors to conform to PAS 024-2016.

• Postal arrangements for the flats are through the wall, external or lobby mounted secure postboxes. It is strongly urged the applicant not to consider letter apertures within the flats’ front doors. The absence of the letter aperture removes the opportunity for lock manipulation, fishing and arson attack and has the potential to reduce unnecessary access to the block.

• Ground floor and any easily accessible windows are to conform to PAS 024-2016.

• Internal resistance measures to be incorporated into party walls and shared corridors to any stud partition walls.

• The fitting of dusk till dawn vandal resistant lighting to all entrance door including the lower basement entrances.

• The gating to the rear of the properties should be lockable from both sides.
