Representation Summary:

DM4 bullet a. SUDs may not just affect the immediate area but through draining into watercourses and rivers contribute to the flood risks elsewhere. Although not linked to SUDs we are currently witnessing severe flooding in the Thames Valley and the Somerset Levels due to unusual rainfall falling elsewhere. We suggest a minor amendment to read "it does not increase the overall risk of all forms of flooding in the area or elsewhere".
