We agree that new development sites should have land earmarked for SUDs so that surface water runoff can be captured and managed. It is important that the downstream impacts of schemes are thoroughly investigated. This is particularly important as some local watercourses are suffering from a lack of maintenance which impedes their ability to cope with additional surface water flows. High peak flows and flash floods must also be considered as often the existing infrastructure cannot cope and an increase in impermeable surfaces may make this worse. It is vital that that adequate water resources and drainage capacity is available to cope with any new demands placed on the county's natural infrastructure.
