The discharge of one attenuation pond is into Monks Ditch via pipework on the side of Bishton Road. The Chair will write to Geraint Roberts to advise that the proposed line of the pipework is adjacent to an ancient hedge line which could potentially damage the roots.
The line of the pipework also follows the line of the old roadside ditch that carries a drain from the gullies on the corner of Station Road and Bishton Road, there doesn’t seem to be any connection to the proposed new lines in Station Road and as such the removal of this could be detrimental to the residents of Station Road.
The old drainage ditch drains the spring fed water from the fields adjacent to Bishton Road, via the existing flap valve into Monks Ditch, if this system is not kept or an alternative installed the field could become water logged.
