Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
Amendment 342 seeks to add weight to the Government’s newly introduced national standards for sustainable drainage systems, making the right to communicate with the public sewer conditional on having applied the standards first. This creates a direct incentive for developers to follow the Government’s guidance and to take the standards seriously. I hope that the Government take this amendment seriously as one possible way of enforcing the national standards for sustainable drainage systems.
