We are very supportive of Policy DM4 We are pleased to note that the policy ensures that new development does not increase flood risk overall from any form of flooding. We consider that the policy could mention that the benefits of using SuDS include both flood risk and water quality.
Given the future of Suffolk County Council, as Lead Local Flood Authority, in surface water management, we would recommend you ensure that the County Council have been consulted on the wording of this policy.
