  N2.4

  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

  N2.5

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

  • Reference: N2.5

• Policy

  N2.6

  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

  N2.7

  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

  N2.8

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

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

• Policy

  N2.9

  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.

  N2.10

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

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

  N2.11

  Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) must be designed in accordance with the nationally described hierarchy of drainage and the most recent edition of CIRIA SuDS manual and DEFRA’s technical standards on SuDS.

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

• Policy

  N2.12
