- The parish council agrees with all the guidelines set down by the IDB with reference to channelling of surface water and further percolation tests to ascertain all year soakaway capacity. The Council suggests that a fully considered management plan would be necessary to explain how excess water will be channelled to prevent flooding or the overloading of existing water drainage systems and water courses, especially during seasons when large volumes of water may overload the current drainage capacity. What overflows have been considered to deal with large volumes of water in winter months or sudden downpours.
- If the proposed pond is accessible by dog walkers or those using a right to roam the area should be fenced off and all suitable safety notices including lifesaving floatation devices made available.
- There is no explanation of what is meant by 'private fishing' or the numbers involved though the applicant states there is no economic activity

- The Council considers that a site plan indicating how cars would park on land accessing the track to the pond and the capacity for vehicles on-site would be helpful
