Q. When the sewerage system from Chelston Rise was first installed in 1997 the pipe installed was only 6 inches in diameter. As a result the pipework easily blocks causing the system to backup, overflow onto the road and into the ditches. Increased housing at Chelston Rise will exacerbate the problem. This potential issue has not been mentioned anywhere in the documentation.

A. (from William Pears Group)The District Council may require a drainage capacity study to be undertaken to support any future planning application and upgrade works could be provided in the event that a problem exists. We will of course investigate any situation thoroughly to ensure this is not a problem in the future.
