Issue - meetings

Report of the Head of Development and Place.

The Head of Development and Place introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, seeking consideration of whether there is a necessity to prepare a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) on the topic of Sustainable urban Drainage systems (SuDS) specifically requiring the provision of construction phase drainage.

RESOLVED:

1)    To note the report which confirms that issues relating to SuDS are addressed by existing and emerging policies/guidance and pre-commencement conditions are an effective solution to effectively manage construction phase drainage; and

2)    To agree that it is not necessary to produce an SPD specifically on SuDS to ensure adequate drainage is installed first on any new housing development site.
