  Policy

  Water should be incorporated into green infrastructure design, for example rain gardens, swales and ponds with pond deck seating.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.3

• None

  Policy

  Some surface water should be captured for reuse to help with the sustainable management and long-term maintenance of green infrastructure features within the scheme.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.4

• None

  Policy

  Where included, volumes of water should be split across the site and have wider positive impacts on water management.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.5

• None

  Policy

  A flood-risk assessment and drainage strategy must be prepared early in the design process and proposals must demonstrate how this has been considered within designs.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.6

• None

  Policy

  New developments must be able to demonstrate that their resilience under existing and future extreme rainfall events predicted under 2050 climate models.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.7

• None

  Policy

  Measures to reduce flood risk such as planting more woodland should be explored.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.8

• None

  Policy

  Street and tree planting should be used as one of the primary means of storm and surface water management and supplemented with more traditional drainage infrastructure where necessary.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.9

• None

  Policy

  Permeable paving should be used in site designs to slow water runoff.

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.10

• None

  Policy

  • Dataset: Design code rule
  • Reference: N2.11

• None

  Policy

  SuDS must reflect the form and appearance of planted natural watercourses rather than artificial basins.
