This consultation was based on a series of questions relevant to both the Pitt review of the 2007 summer flooding events and Defra’s consultation on Improving surface water drainage.
The results of the survey provide a good insight into considerations and practices of those working on the ground. Those that responded to the consultation are broadly positive to the introduction of Surface Water Management Plans (SWMPs). However, there were concerns about the availability of appropriate resources in terms of funds, skills, experience and knowledge within Local Authorities. There is also some uncertainty in relation to what SWMPs could include and the interaction with spatial planning.
