5.13. Policy DEN5 requires SUDS to be provided on all development unless it is demonstrated to be inappropriate. The associated policy wording should make clear the type and level of SUDS that is expected to be provided on sites, depending on their size, development type and development quantum.
For example, a major development of circa 100 units will have very different SUDS requirement and, more importantly, opportunity, compared to a smaller scale scheme of up to 10 units. Maintenance requirements would also be substantially different. The policy as currently worded provides a blanket approach to SUDS which may not, in reality be achievable and could prevent developments from coming forward.

5.14. In addition, guidance should be provided in the associated policy text as to what other policy objectives the SUDS should aim to achieve (point iv).
