)The water environment is potentially vulnerable and there is an increased potential for pollution from inappropriately located and/or designed infiltration (SuDS). The Environment Agency consider any infiltration (SuDS) greater than 2.0 m below ground level to be a deep system and would generally not be acceptable. All infiltration SuDS require a minimum of 1.2 m clearance between the base of infiltration SuDS and peak seasonal groundwater levels. All need to meet the criteria in our Groundwater Protection: Principles and Practice (GP3) position statements G1 to G13 which can be found here:

)Fire Hydrant Advice
On a residential site one hydrant is required at least every 180 metres with no property further than 90 metres from the nearest hydrant. The minimum flow should be as described in the National Guidance Document published by UK Water and the Local Government Association.
The relevant section is copied below from Appendix 5:-
'Housing developments with units of detached or semi-detached houses of not more than two floors, should have a water supply capable of delivering a minimum of eight litres per second through any single hydrant. Multi-occupied housing developments with units of more than two floors, should have a water supply capable of delivering a minimum of 20 to 35 litres per second through any single hydrant on the development."
Although this will be dealt with at Building Regulations Consultation stage, the developer's attention is drawn to the requirements of 'Approved Document B (Fire Safety) Volume 2 Buildings other than Dwelling Houses B5 Access and Facilities for the Fire Service' to ensure compliance is met. In addition to the formal guidance or requirements, I would add that where possible, consideration is given to access for the hydrants, so they are positioned on pathways/pedestrian areas, close to but not within vehicle standing areas where they are likely to be obstructed by parked cars/lorries (e.g. in an area designated for parking or loading as part of the development).Fire Hydrant Advice
