Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) : HousingThis document underpins the delivery of the Government's strategic housing policy and provides guidance for planning authorities. One aspect of the guidance is the drive towards efficient use of land space which in turn leads to potential difficulties in some cases in incorporating above ground SUDS solutions such as ponds and swales, due to the space required. Consideration of Hydro's smaller-footprint, load bearing underground storage and treatment systems can often help achieve compliance.
