Whilst we appreciate the need to have regard to new standards regarding SuDS provision, the implications on site layout and viability do need to be considered. A flexible approach is required from the Local Authorities in assessing individual schemes taking into account matters such as viability and the impact on density. In particular, a joint approach is needed by statutory undertakers to ensure that SuDS areas can be adopted if they are provided as part of wider open space areas.
