As of January 7th, 2019, all new developments of more than 1 property or where the construction area with drainage implications is 100m2 or more, will require sustainable drainage to manage on-site surface water. Surface water drainage systems must be designed and built in accordance with mandatory standards for sustainable drainage published by Welsh Ministers. These systems must be approved by Gwynedd Council acting in its role as a SuDS Approving Body (SAB), before construction work begins. The SAB will have a duty to adopt compliant systems which serve more than one property so long as it is built and functions in accordance with the approved proposals, including any SAB conditions of approval.
