The section in the SWLP on flooding is not very convincing. We live in times where rainfall is increasing; more importantly it is less frequent and, in consequence, comes in very heavy bursts.
Allowing planning permission where there is a risk in the life of the property cannot be allowed – whether to make the government numbers or property developer’s gains!
SUDS is a great concept but not likely to be effective in open fields and shallow flood plains, such as round here. In addition, all such mitigation works must be placed upon the developers, even if this raises the cost of housing - not upon on society as a whole (viz local and central government) or the council taxpayer. It should be paid by those who make the profit!
