Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
Why have I brought this back on Report and why are these two amendments necessary? The reason is, in effect, that without implementing Schedule 3, introducing a mandatory requirement for sustainable drainage systems on major new developments and, equally, terminating the automatic right to connect, with the housing developments on the scale envisaged in the Bill, we are potentially going to see existing housing flooded from the combined sewer overflow.
