SuDS to be considered early in design process with detailed proposals required
Developers must incorporate SuDS as early as possible in the design process and provide appropriate detail in planning applications to demonstrate practical implementation. Where no SuDS measures are proposed, developers must justify their absence.
Developers should consider incorporation of SuDS as early as possible in the design process. Planning applications will be expected to be accompanied by an appropriate level of detail to ensure that proposals for SuDS are capable of practical implementation and to avoid the need for revisions to the scheme at a later date. Where no SuDS measures are proposed, the onus will be on the developer to justify their absence.
