               Operational Works Approval – Minor Change Application

We refer to Council’s Decision Notice for the above Operational Works and in particular to
condition 3 requiring the submission of revised plans to add a “cut-off “ drain in lots 1 and 9 to
capture run off from the adjoining properties.

We ask for your consideration to delete this condition for the following reasons:

   •   The requirement for a cut off drain in lot 1 & 9 was removed from the higher order
       approval - ref RAL 21/0017 condition 29 b).
   •   The reason the cut off drains were deleted from the higher order was that this condition
       was originally written when there was retaining walls proposed in this location. It was
       subsequently agreed by Council that the cut off drains were unnecessary if no retaining
       walls were proposed.
   •   A cut off drain in this location will direct overland flows across the road verge and
       particularly concrete footpath which is likely to result in long term maintenance issues
       (potentially slippery footpath).

Attached is a duly completed IDAS form 5 formally applying for this change to the existing
approval.

Note that due to key staff contracting Covid during the appeal period the above request was
unable to be lodged as representations. As such we request the Directors’ or Managers’
consideration to apply a discount to the minor change application fees in this case. Can you
please confirm fees payable so we can arrange payment.

We look forward to your assessment of this request.

Yours faithfully
