Drainage design for planning approval

Pawsey Design Ltd Drainage design for planning approval

Increasingly the planning process imposes the need for clarity regarding both foul and surface water drainage. This can be either at the initial application stage or following planning approval when planning conditions with confusing requirements need to be discharged.

This is what we do. We work on simple house extensions or on small housing developments of say 3-4 houses as well as very large commercial units and agricultural buildings. We limit our projects to being within the South Hams in Devon but the guidance provided here will likely apply across most of England and Wales.

We can provide detailed drainage designs, detailing all of the drainage runs etc. but we generally work with you and your Architect where we provide simple schematic information for you or your Architect to develop for construction.
