Marston Vale
Surface Waters Plan
Hannah-Reed are secretariat to the Forest of Marston Vale Surface Waters Group, and through this forum have prepared the ‘Surface Waters Plan’.
The plan promotes the strategic management of surface waters and the local environment in the Forest of Marston Vale.
It identifies the key challenges and opportunities facing the planning authorities, land drainage authorities, landowners, developers and other stakeholders in the local water environment.
The plan promotes policies that will encourage an integrated and sustainable approach, and featured in DEFRA's ‘Integrated Urban Drainage Pilot Studies’, thus reinforcing the sustainable principles identified in the document.
The plan is currently being updated to suit both changes in the local planning framework and emerging legislation and guidance.
Refer to the Elstow Brook Project page for information on how the Plan is being implemented within the catchment.
