b)  evidence of existing positive drainage to public sewer and the current points of connection; and

 

c)  the means of restricting the discharge to public sewer to the existing rate less a minimum (30)% reduction, based on the existing peak discharge rate during a 1 in 1 year storm event, to allow for climate change.

 

5.  No development shall take place until a detailed design and associated management and maintenance plan of the surface water drainage for the site, in accordance with the principles outlined within:

 

a. ‘DRAINAGE STRATEGY & FLOOD RISK STATEMENT v5.0’ (HWA Consulting Engineers, May 2019) including any subsequent amendments or updates to those documents as approved by the Flood Risk Management Team
