With any stage of the application, the LLFA would expect submission of all relevant documents from the previous stages. This would help give a full overview of the history of the application and will help the review process.

Large strategic sites may also require drainage information to be provided as part of the master planning process. Chapter 7 of the Ciria SuDS Manual C753 provides a conceptual overall of the implementation of SuDS during master planning. For more information please speak to a representative from the LLFA to find out what will be involve at this stage.

In those areas were a Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is in place, drainage designs should also take into account any recommendations made in that plan. Further details on SWMPs can be found online. If you would like to request a copy of a SWMP for a particular area, email floods@essex.gov.uk
