U3B Sustainable Drainage Systems

In consultation with the Environment Agency and, where appropriate, sewerage undertakers, the Council may require developments to include sustainable drainage systems to control the quality or attenuate the rate of surface water run-off. Contributions in the form of commuted sums may be sought in legal agreements to ensure that the drainage systems can be adequately maintained.
