Drainage requirements should remain in line with Government targets and the Building Regulations. Were the Council to seek higher standards than the Building Regulations from new development from the point of the Local Plan’s adoption this would need to be
evidenced. We would also remind the Council to include the uplift in build costs for delivering adaptation to flood and drought events that goes beyond the Building Regulations within any forthcoming Local Plan viability assessment and that the PPG states that “Viability assessment should not compromise sustainable development but should be used to ensure that policies
are realistic, and that the total cumulative cost of all relevant policies will not undermine deliverability of the plan” (Paragraph: 002 Reference ID: 10-002-20190509).
Therefore, in order for the future plan to be found sound the following should be implemented:
• Any future policy should be stepped in line with emerging government targets and requirements and
• Ensure the policy is properly assessed within the forthcoming viability assessment
