That:

1)        the SuDS Strategy Public Consultation Summary be noted and the approach and amendments detailed in Appendix 1 be agreed;

2)         the amended SuDS Strategy provided in Appendix 2 be approved.

The Executive considered a report relating to the consultation responses to the Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Strategy which sets out the long term vision for the use of SuDS within the Borough with a focus on managing flood risk and improving the water environment. 

The Executive Member for Environment confirmed that the Strategy would enable developers and planning officers to find the most appropriate SuDS for a particular development at the earliest stage of a planning application.  The 13 responses received to the consultation had led to some small improvements being made to the Strategy.  Councillor Ross thanked all those who had responded to the consultation and gave particular thanks for the work undertaken by Fran Hobson who had produced the Strategy.

RESOLVED That:

1)        the SuDS Strategy Public Consultation Summary be noted and the approach and amendments detailed in Appendix 1 be agreed;

2)         the amended SuDS Strategy provided in Appendix 2 be approved.
