Medway/UK strongly need Climate action to lessen increasing flooding of low-lying built-up parts of the area.
Could the heading 'Sustainable Urban Drainage' be altered to 'Sustainable Drainage' since SuDS, if used for new development on the Peninsular, will in effect be in rural areas too? The use of SuDS as drainage in rural areas for access roads and carparks within SPZ1 groundwater protection zones, would also require a hydrogeological risk assessment. As might repetitive spraying of copper sulphate in vineyards.
I am unclear how longterm management and maintenance of SuDS happen should the company involved go into liquidation.
