The NIS retains two outfall options
Proposed options; selection not established · Proposed drainage for the259-dwelling Countess Road scheme
What the evidence says
Both options use the on-site SuDS treatment train and restrict runoff to28.5L/s. Preferred Option1 uses the Countess Road public network via Countess Grove; Option2 uses an existing600mm public pipe toward the River Flesk. The report explicitly leaves Option1’s downstream treatment pathway uncertain.
Proposed drainage for the259-dwelling Countess Road scheme Downstream route uncertainty expressly retained by the NIS
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation for drainage engineers: the unresolved outfall pathway is a concrete approval/design question affecting connection works.
What is not established
No final outfall selection, accepted connection, installed system or available contract is proven. Obtain the final drainage agreement; do not present the preferred option as selected.

Lighting is pulled back from sensitive site boundaries
Proposed in the inspected application · June2026 proposed Countess Road lighting mitigation; not a product schedule
What the evidence says
The NIS retains dark areas along eastern and south-western boundaries and pulls lighting back from the southern boundary. It describes proposed private downlighters with1.0lx spill onto footpaths and minimal spill beyond.
June2026 proposed Countess Road lighting mitigation; not a product schedule
Why it may matter — interpretation
Interpretation for lighting designers and ecologists: boundary spill and dark-route requirements constrain the coordinated external-lighting layout.
What is not established
Fitting brand, count, final approved photometry and installed light levels are not established. Inspect the illumination contour drawing and eventual appeal conditions.
