1)  All information appertaining to the existing public sewerage system.

2)  Requests for sewer connections. All works will be carried out by the London Borough of Hackney at the applicant expense. All new developments will be required to have new sewer connections.

3)  Building over sewers.

4)  System of drainage to be provided on site.

5)  Adoption of sewers.

Advisory Note:

It should be noted that most sewers throughout the Borough flow full or surcharge during periods of heavy storm and conditions may be imposed restricting discharge to the system. The prime condition is that any large development shall not cause an increase in the rate of flow to the public sewerage system. This requirement is normally met in the case of new developments by separation on site and storage of surface water flows in tanks or oversized pipes on sites. Where sites adjoin a suitable watercourse or storm relief sewer into which surface water can be discharged by gravity then the policy is for sites to be separated and have their surface water discharged to the watercourse or storm relief sewer. In the case of developments/ rehabilitation/ conversions etc., involving the use of basements these are likely to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of surcharge and applicants must therefore demonstrate that adequate drainage arrangements exist at all times.
