Decision details

The Surface Water Management Policy was adopted in August 2017 and is an important regulatory tool against which planning applications can be challenged. At the request of engineering colleagues in the West Sussex district and borough councils, the County Council as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) was requested to write further guidance relating to non-major developments (notably householder extensions and housing developments of less than 10 properties). The Policy has been reviewed over the past 9 months and consulted upon internally and externally.

The Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure has approved the Surface Water Management Policy.
