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.

Would like to see a reference to the role that trees and woods can play in helping to solve water quality and flow issues. believe they can deliver a major contribution to resolving a range of water management issues particularly those resulting from climate change like flooding and water quality implications caused by extreme weather events. Trees can attenuate water flow reducing the impact of heavy rains.
