Drainage requirements

Planning and Building Control Background

There are extra drainage requirements for major projects involving either:

  • 10 or more properties
  • 1,000 square metres of non-residential floor space

We require these projects to include plans for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). Effective SuDS manage surface water drainage and run-off. Your plans must show:

  • how and where you will build SuDS
  • how you will maintain SuDS

To meet drainage requirements, submit a Surface Water Drainage form with your application.
