Paragraph 13 Agricultural land drainageI1

No stage of the authorised development must commence until a written scheme, applicable to that stage, to deal with agricultural land drainage within the works limits has been submitted to and approved, in writing, by the relevant planning authority.

The purpose of the scheme is to ensure that, during and following construction, the efficiency of drainage is maintained within and outside the works limits.

The scheme must include an investigation and assessment report giving details of existing drainage arrangements and requirements for pre-construction works and post-construction reinstatement.

Works must be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme except to the extent that a variation to the scheme is approved by the relevant planning authority in writing.
