(Member lead: Cllr T Swift, Director: Alan Reiss)

Resolved:  That the final draft of the Leeds City Region Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Guidance be approved.

The Combined Authority considered a report of the Director of Policy, Strategy and Communications on the Leeds City Region Sustainable Drainage Systems Guidance (SuDS).

It was noted that following a recommendation of the Leeds City Region Flood Review, a draft Guidance had been prepared in conjunction with partner councils, members and stakeholders to raise the profile of SuDS and promote their use in a greater range of new developments.  The Guidance sets out the aspirations of the City Region in respect of sustainable methods to limit flooding and improve the environment.  It will also contribute to measures to address the climate emergency and align with the clean growth agenda by supporting the objectives of the City Region’s Green and Blue Infrastructure Strategy and Delivery Plan.

The report provided a summary of the Guidance and Members considered and approved the final draft which was attached at Appendix 1.  In order to ensure its relevance, the Guidance would be kept under review and a report brought to a future meeting.

Resolved:  That the final draft of the Leeds City Region Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Guidance be approved.
