The discharge rate from the development will be limited to the equivalent 3l/s/impermeable ha, or an appropriate rate as agreed by the Bedford Group of Internal Drainage Boards.
The applicant should address the following points 1 to 13 contained within the informative when submitting details to discharge the condition.

Reason: To ensure the approved system will function to a satisfactory minimum standard of operation and maintenance and prevent the increased risk of flooding both on and off site, in accordance with CBC Local policy CC3 to CC5 and NPPF Paras 159 to 169 Inclusive of foot notes 54 to 56 and its supporting technical guidance.
3) No building/dwelling shall be occupied until the developer has formally submitted in writing to the Local Planning Authority a finalised 'Maintenance and Management Plan' for the entire surface water drainage system, inclusive of any adoption arrangements and/or private ownership or responsibilities, and that the approved surface water drainage scheme has been correctly and fully installed as per the final approved details.
