I believe it should, but who will pay, developers; residents; water company; local councils; or County Council via Government grants or increased precept? With most of these options, residents are paying in the long run.
As more councils acknowledge a Climate Emergency, and all Water Companies except Thames Water accept that Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are sewers, will this mean that the encouragement and funding of maintenance of SuDS gets reconsidered?
