Subject: FW: 3rd Party Planning Application - 22/2204/FUL From: BCTAdmin@thameswater.co.uk Sent: 16/August/2022 09:25 (BST) To: planning@richmond.gov.uk Subject: 3rd Party Planning Application - 22/2204/FUL London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Our DTS Ref: 61332 Environmental Protection and Customer Services Your Ref: 22/2204/FUL Civic Centre, 44 York Street Twickenham Middlesex TW1 3BZ - 16 August 2022 Dear Sir/Madam Re: St Clare Business Park , and 7-11 Windmill Rd, -, HAMPTON, GREATER LONDON , TW12 1PZ Waste Comments The proposed development is located within 15 metres of a strategic sewer. Thames Water requests the following condition to be added to any planning permission. "No piling shall take place until a PILING METHOD STATEMENT (detailing the depth and type of piling to be undertaken and the methodology by which such piling will be carried out, including measures to prevent and minimise the potential for damage to subsurface sewerage infrastructure, and the programme for the works) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority in consultation with Thames Water. Any piling must be undertaken in accordance with the terms of the approved piling method statement." Reason: The proposed works will be in close proximity to underground sewerage utility infrastructure. Piling has the potential to significantly impact / cause failure of local underground sewerage utility infrastructure. Please read our guide 'working near our assets' to ensure your workings will be in line with the necessary processes you need to follow if you're considering working above or near our pipes or other structures. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thamesw ater.co.uk%2Fdevelopers%2Flarger-scale-developments%2Fplanning-your- development%2Fworking-near-our- pipes&data=05%7C01%7CNetcall59r%40richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk%7Cdb59f01b a5b8466e48ff08da7f60c106%7Cd9d3f5acf80349be949f14a7074d74a7%7C0%7C0%7C6379623 50780260161%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBT iI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BzYJ2iKnk8yg9P5BQkYWfIx %2F0KcnlQs5RcEo8Icg5Es%3D&reserved=0 Should you require further information please contact Thames Water. Email: developer.services@thameswater.co.uk Phone: 0800 009 3921 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm) Write to: Thames Water Developer Services, Clearwater Court, Vastern Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 8DB With regard to SURFACE WATER drainage, Thames Water would advise that if the developer follows the sequential approach to the disposal of surface water we would have no objection. Management of surface water from new developments should follow Policy SI 13 Sustainable drainage of the London Plan 2021. Where the developer proposes to discharge to a public sewer, prior approval from Thames Water Developer Services will be required. Should you require further information please refer to our website. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thamesw ater.co.uk%2Fdevelopers%2Flarger-scale-developments%2Fplanning-your- development%2Fworking-near-our- pipes&data=05%7C01%7CNetcall59r%40richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk%7Cdb59f01b a5b8466e48ff08da7f60c106%7Cd9d3f5acf80349be949f14a7074d74a7%7C0%7C0%7C6379623 50780260161%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBT iI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BzYJ2iKnk8yg9P5BQkYWfIx %2F0KcnlQs5RcEo8Icg5Es%3D&reserved=0 We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures will be undertaken to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer. Groundwater discharges typically result from construction site dewatering, deep excavations, basement infiltration, borehole installation, testing and site remediation. Any discharge made without a permit is deemed illegal and may result in prosecution under the provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991. Should the Local Planning Authority be minded to approve the planning application, Thames Water would like the following informative attached to the planning permission: "A Groundwater Risk Management Permit from Thames Water will be required for discharging groundwater into a public sewer. Any discharge made without a permit is deemed illegal and may result in prosecution under the provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991. We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures he will undertake to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer. Permit enquiries should be directed to Thames Water's Risk Management Team by telephoning 020 3577 9483 or by emailing trade.effluent@thameswater.co.uk .

Please refer to the Wholsesale; Business customers; Groundwater discharges section. There are public sewers crossing or close to your development. If you're planning significant work near our sewers, it's important that you minimize the risk of damage. We'll need to check that your development doesn't limit repair or maintenance activities, or inhibit the services we provide in any other way. The applicant is advised to read our guide working near or diverting our pipes. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thamesw ater.co.uk%2Fdevelopers%2Flarger-scale-developments%2Fplanning-your- development%2Fworking-near-our- pipes&data=05%7C01%7CNetcall59r%40richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk%7Cdb59f01b a5b8466e48ff08da7f60c106%7Cd9d3f5acf80349be949f14a7074d74a7%7C0%7C0%7C6379623 50780416381%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBT iI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=vT%2FRtSEAW5nQy%2FTr5I%2B UD3hQ1uWGaxusTzeoOzln7ho%3D&reserved=0 As required by Building regulations part H paragraph 2.36, Thames Water requests that the Applicant should incorporate within their proposal, protection to the property to prevent sewage flooding, by installing a positive pumped device (or equivalent reflecting technological advances), on the assumption that the sewerage network may surcharge to ground level during storm conditions. If as part of the basement development there is a proposal to discharge ground water to the public network, this would require a Groundwater Risk Management Permit from Thames Water. Any discharge made without a permit is deemed illegal and may result in prosecution under the provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991. We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures will be undertaken to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer.

Water Comments On the basis of information provided, Thames Water would advise that with regard to water network infrastructure capacity, we would not have any objection to the above planning application. Thames Water recommend the following informative be attached to this planning permission. Thames Water will aim to provide customers with a minimum pressure of 10m head (approx 1 bar) and a flow rate of 9 litres/minute at the point where it leaves Thames Waters pipes. The developer should take account of this minimum pressure in the design of the proposed development. There are water mains crossing or close to your development. Thames Water do NOT permit the building over or construction within 3m of water mains. If you're planning significant works near our mains (within 3m) we'll need to check that your development doesn't reduce capacity, limit repair or maintenance activities during and after construction, or inhibit the services we provide in any other way. The applicant is advised to read our guide working near or diverting our pipes. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thamesw ater.co.uk%2Fdevelopers%2Flarger-scale-developments%2Fplanning-your- development%2Fworking-near-our- pipes&data=05%7C01%7CNetcall59r%40richmondandwandsworth.gov.uk%7Cdb59f01b a5b8466e48ff08da7f60c106%7Cd9d3f5acf80349be949f14a7074d74a7%7C0%7C0%7C6379623 50780416381%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBT iI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=vT%2FRtSEAW5nQy%2FTr5I%2B UD3hQ1uWGaxusTzeoOzln7ho%3D&reserved=0 The proposed development is located within 15m of our underground water assets and as such we would like the following informative attached to any approval granted.
