Planning Objections

Drainage for Planning Objections – Resolving drainage-based rejections

If drainage concerns have stalled your application, we can help. We review LLFA or planning officer comments and respond with clear, technical solutions. Whether it’s a missing SuDS element, unaddressed flood risk, or lack of infiltration data, we’ll put forward a compliant drainage strategy that clears objections and keeps your project moving.

Common Objections we resolve include:

“No evidence that surface water will be managed on-site via SuDS.”

“Lack of infiltration testing to support soakaway proposals.”

“Outfall location unclear or unacceptable.”

“Storage volumes not sized to accommodate climate change.”

“No evidence of discharge rate control to greenfield runoff rate.”

“Proposed connection to public sewer without Section 106 approval.”

We provide the calculations, drawings, and drainage statements needed to address each point—ensuring your drainage strategy satisfies both planning and technical consultees.
