                     ii.        Use of sustainable drainage systems to manage surface water from the additional impermeable surfaces resulting from the proposals

 

            The drainage scheme must include:

 

(i)   Evidence that the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) hierarchy has been followed and the proposed scheme in accordance with the hierarchy- the following drainage hierarchy should be investigated by the developer when considering a surface water sustainable drainage system and that surface water runoff should be discharged as high up the following hierarchy of drainage options as reasonably practical:

2. to a surface water body; or

3. to a surface water sewer, highway drain, or another drainage system; or

4. to a combined sewer

(ii) A restricted rate of discharge of surface water agreed with the local planning authority (if it is agreed that infiltration is discounted by the investigations); and

INFORMATIVE

 

Land Drainage Consent

Under the Land Drainage Act 1991 (as amended by the Flood & Water Management Act 2010), you need consent from the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) to:

 build a culvert or structure (such as a weir) or

carry out either permanent or temporary works within the banks of any ordinary watercourse which may alter or impede the flow of water, regardless of whether the watercourse is culverted or not.

 

If works are proposed as part of this planning application that are likely to affect flows in an ordinary watercourse, then the applicant is likely to need the consent of the LLFA.

 

NOTE: The Lead Local Flood Authority will generally refuse consent applications which seek to culvert an existing ordinary watercourse. This is in line with Environment Agency guidance on protecting watercourses.

 

You must obtain Land Drainage Consent from the LLFA before undertaking any works on site; failure to do so may result in enforcement action.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, once planning permission has been obtained it does not mean that ordinary watercourse consent is guaranteed to be granted.
