Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Reference to early engagement with Anglian Water as well as other relevant bodies in relation to surface water management should also be included.
We note that it is proposed to amend the text of paragraph 11.59 to include reference to the applicants consulting the Lead Local Flood Authority and Internal Drainage Boards at the earliest opportunity to ensure SuDS are included at the design stage.
Where surface water management proposals interact with Anglian Water's sewerage infrastructure we would wish to be involved in any discussions with North Hertfordshire District Council and the applicant relating
to surface water disposal.
There a number of options available for management and adoption of SuDs features and applicants can apply to Anglian Water to adopt SuDs features where it forms part of public open spaces. This is also likely to come more common following the Sewers for Adoption Version 8 which includes SuDs for the first time.
Further details of the current SuDs adoption process is available to view at the following address:

We are supportive of early engagement and the incorporation of SuDs at the design stage but would ask that reference is also made to Anglian Water.
