ANGUS LOCAL PLAN REVIEW FINALISED PLAN - Angus Council

Policy ER23 : Surface Water DisposalSustainable Urban Drainage Systems are preferred in dealingwith surface water drainage from all new development. Inconsidering development proposals Angus Council will consultand liase closely with SEPA, Scottish Water and developers inorder to ensure that appropriate methods of surface water runoffcollection, treatment, decontamination and disposal areimplemented to minimise the risk of flooding and the pollution ofwater courses, lochs and ground water.Proposals that adopt ecological solutions to surface watermanagement which promote local biodiversity by the formationof ponds and/or wetlands for example, and create or improvehabitats will also be encouraged.Water Supply3.50 As a result of programmed investment by Scottish Water over anumber of years the Angus water supply infrastructure (sources,treatment plant, service reservoirs and distribution network) is of avery high standard and generally capable of meeting the waterdemands of the development proposals identified in the Local Plan.3.51 Although localised water supply problems continue to affect anumber of villages in Angus including Monikie and Tannadice, thereare no schemes currently proposed by Scottish Water to resolvethese issues. Angus Council will continue to encourage ScottishWater to make timeous and appropriate investment in Angus toremove existing water supply constraints and maintain the currenthigh standard of water supply and treatment.3.52 Some more remote areas of rural Angus, where public watersupply is not available, are dependent on private water supplies. It isimportant that these supplies and water catchment areas that are thesource of potable water are protected from development which mayadversely affect water quality. Applications for planning permissionwill require to prove to the satisfaction of Angus Council that thedevelopment proposal will not detrimentally affect existing watersupplies. Use of private water sources in areas served by a publicwater supply will not be acceptable.Policy ER24 : Water Resource ProtectionDevelopment proposals which adversely affect a watercatchment area to the detriment of the potable quality of a publicor private water supply will not be permitted.Policy ER25 : Private Water SuppliesIn areas outwith the public water supply network, developmentproposals requiring connection to a private supply will require toensure that:-Angus Local Plan Review76Finalised Plan
