Sustainable drainage systems. From 7 January 2019, there will be new legislation in place making it mandatory to have sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) on all new developments of more than 1 house or new developments with construction area greater than 100m2 (10m x 10m). Visit the County Council's Sustainable Drainage Approval Body (SAB) webpage or Welsh Government website to find out more about the legislation.
The Powys Local Development Plan (2011-2026) sets out the County Council's land use policy and proposals. It was adopted on 17th April 2018. Reading and considering it along with the supplementary planning guidance will provide an indication of the acceptability of proposals. It should therefore be considered at an early stage in the preparation of a planning application.
