An amended Drainage Plan (ref: Amended Drainage Design - Rev B updated) will be submitted to re-discharge Condition 10 - it will show the gravel strip that was installed during the construction phase to give additional protection to the neighbouring properties from surface water run off. We had reports from a neighbour that they had noticed that as a result their garden was dryer than usual in wet conditions. As a result we decided to leave it at post construction as a conservative approach. The trench is simply to add additional volume for any ground water to the rear of the flag on edge.

Field shelter for the welfare of two elderly ponies. The location behind the old outhouses was chosen to have as little impact as possible visually. It also adds protection for these which are falling into disrepair, against the prevailing winds. It is our intention to grass over the roof of the shelter to blend it further into the landscape. A solid construction is required due to the extremely strong winds we experience at our location.
