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 Water's pipes. The developer should take account of this minimum pressure in the design of the proposed development.

With regards to the Grand Union Canal: You should refer to the current 'Code of Practice for Works affecting the Canal & River Trust' to ensure that any necessary consents are obtained (https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/business-and-trade/undertaking-works-on-our-property-and-our-code-of-practice). You are advised that any works carried out adjacent to the canal will require consent from the Canal & River Trust. You are advised that any encroachment, oversail of or access onto the canal towpath requires written consent from the Canal & River Trust, and you should contact the Canal & River Trust's Estates Surveyor, Jonathan Young ([email protected]) regarding the required access agreement. You are advised that any surface water discharge into the canal will require written consent, and you should contact the Canal & River Trust's Utilities team, Nick Pogson for further information ([email protected]). The predicted displacement of the canal wall is deemed negligible in the Construction Statement. You will need to take into account that the canal wall is a water retaining structure, and therefore will have tighter serviceability limits. You are advised that minimal external lighting should be installed near the canal and any lighting that is installed should be bat-friendly in order to encourage local bat populations.

In preparing the final CTMP as required by condition 27, you are advised to address the following matters: Q7 - Details of the public consultation must be included, i.e. who was consulted, what their comments were and what action was taken in light of these comments. Q8 - No route plan is provided. The applicant must implicitly state the route that construction traffic will take to and from the site. Q10 - The answer needs to make a clear commitment as to what hours they are committing to adhere to. In this case the site's proximity to a number of schools means that all vehicle movements during term time must be between 9:30am - 3pm only and 9:30am - 4:30pm outside of term time Q11 - The site plan should be extended to include Kensal Road and Adela Street. Should the applicant wish to use Kensal Road for loading/unloading they must demonstrate that 3m of clear highway is maintained whilst the largest vehicle that will be used is occupying the loading bay. The applicant has show a beam hoist on the gantry at the Kensal Road loading area but has provided no further detail on the gantry. Further information must be included to ensure pedestrian safety is not jeopardised by the gantry. The site plan appears to show the footway on Kensal Road blocked off. The applicant must clarify whether or not this is the case. It is highly unlikely that the Council would agree to the footway being closed. Q12 - Vague language such as 'envisaged' must be removed. The applicant must state what is planned and if the detail is not fully known, a robust worst case scenario must be assumed. The applicant must state that vehicle accesses will be manned by banksmen during all vehicle movements in and out of the site. The applicant should reference the specific drawings that show the swept path movements. The applicant has stated that there will be a vehicle access on Kensal Road, however no swept path analysis has been provided for this entrance. The applicant must provide swept path analysis showing the largest vehicles that will be using this entrance. Q24 - No detail has been provided on the number of parking bay suspensions. Previous advice has been given regarding the number of bay suspensions. The Council will only agree to parking bay suspensions that is considered to be essential. Q25 - Again, the use of vague language should be avoided. Q27 - A Temporary Crossover License will be required.
