Description

Discharge of Condition 25 of Planning Approval Y/2009/0114/F: Summary of condition requirements: Condition 25 states: “Development shall not begin until drainage works have been carried out to the satisfaction of NI Water.” This condition was written to ensure that appropriate drainage infrastructure is installed at the site and was available to dwellings when they became occupied. The condition requires drainage works to be implemented as agreed with NI Water. In responding to and discharging this condition and others and to construct the road imrovements at Mealough Road and Knockbracken Road, the group of four developers at the Mealough lands formed the Mealough Consortium Limited (MCL). MCL has appointed engineers and has submitted firstly a Pre-Development Enquiry (PDE), and secondly an agreement under Article 161 of the Water and Sewage Services (NI) Order 2006. The PDE, dated 13th May 2021 sets out the drainage works that are required, while the Article 161 agreement provides for the construction of sewers, pumping stations, works and accessories that will in the future be adopted. The Article 161 agreement was finalised on 30th November 2022 and bonds have been paid to NI Water. Works subsequently took place. The Article 161 agreement applies to the whole of the Mealough lands in the dBMAP zoning CF 03/05. A copy of the PDE is submitted. A copy of the Article 161 agreement is also submitted; it should be noted that dwellings serviced by the sewers permitted by the agreement are now occupied (mainly developed under the neighbouring permission Y/2007/0445/F).
