5.6 SUSTAINABLE DRAINAGE
We support the inclusion of the reference to enhancing biodiversity through the provision of wetland habitats and associated native planting. We also note that point 25 refers to maintenance of SuDS in the long term. As noted above in relation to key issues 5, 6, 7 and 10, and guiding principle 5.5, there is also a need to consider maintenance of green infrastructure in the long term, and we suggest a similar approach to that taken in point 25 - SuDS maintenance, could be applied to green infrastructure, i.e. the addition of specific point outlining long-term maintenance and management requirements.
