Dear Mr Reeve

KINGSMERE PARCEL KM8 DRAINAGE STRATEGY
LAND AT WHITELANDS FARM, SOUTH WEST OF BICESTER ADJOINING OXFORD ROAD.      

We have assessed your email dated 08 September 2011 with soakaway test results, trial pit locations sketch and drawings 11013031-SK-001-A, 1903-KM2-D-01-D and 1903-KM2-GA-02-E.
 
The proposed approach to the surface water drainage in this parcel is in accordance with the approved Kingsmere Design Code.
 
We are pleased that infiltration will still be maximised within these parcels, even though infiltration rates are not very good.
 
We would have no objections to the proposed drainage design for KM8 and KM12 if it were to be submitted formally with supporting calculations for each parcel.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Cathy Harrison
Planning Liaison Officer
