Drainage outfall works proposed west of Factory Street care home site

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The applicant seeks approval for surface water outfall works linked to a 72-bedroom care home. The outfall would provide a route for rainwater to leave the development site. The site is in Flood Zone 2, and the River Hipper is directly adjacent. The Anchor is also directly adjacent, while 28 property fronts have a clear view towards the site. The council may need enough information to check whether the outfall could manage rainwater safely. A flood report is listed as missing from the submitted information.

What you can do

You can comment to Chesterfield Borough Council using reference CHE/26/00189/DOC. Explain any local flooding evidence or drainage concerns linked to Factory Street or the River Hipper. The council can consider drainage and flood safety, but not unrelated private disputes.
