East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDs) 5.62 Six local authorities provided figures on planning permissions with Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS).These responses showed that 7 planning permissions were issued with SuDS on new domestic dwelling sites and 6 on new industrial/business developments in 2005/06. Data Analysis 5.63 The Environmental Agency has indicated that approximately 173,000 properties are at 1% flood risk in the East Midlands. 5.64 Table 5.11 shows the areas covered by Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Twenty two local authority areas currently do not have such assessments, however, the vast majority of these authorities are currently undertaking one, or have plans to commission on in the future.There has been an increase in the number of assessments in place compared to those reported in the previous monitoring report. 5.65 The 2004/05 monitoring forms sent to local authorities asked a new question relating to Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS).There was very little response to the question. For the 2005/06 monitoring process the question was retained but rephrased to cover ‘sites’ developed rather than ‘individual buildings’. Even so the response to the question remains low. Only 6 local authorities supplied figures. SuDS still appears to be an issue that does not engage local authorities. Policy Commentary 5.66 Flood risk is a key issue for the Region, given the amount of land at particular risk and it is acknowledged that this could be further exacerbated by climate change.The use of Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS) is seen as an important spatial planning potential response to this problem. It is acknowledged that in many quarters it is a poorly England East Midlands 2003 1,328 76 understood technique that the development industry appears reluctant to take on board, but equally there is an issue about getting SuDS adopted by the maintenance organisations.The Regional Assembly’s Environment Group’s study of the SuDs at a landscape scale and the relationship between landscape, flooding and soils (referred to as the ‘spongy landscapes’ study) will add to knowledge and understanding in this area.The Region needs to find ways to play its part to help address these problems and the difficulties local authorities have in monitoring the number of schemes that are implemented. Progress is being made on undertaking Flood Risk Assessments, which are the responsibilities of local authorities; the role of the Environment Agency in these studies, as set out in PPS25, needs to be established in each case. Policy 40: Regional Priorities for Energy Reduction and Efficiency Local Authorities, energy generators and other agencies should promote: a reduction in energy usage at the regional level in line with the ‘energy hierarchy’; and the development of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and district heating infrastructure necessary to achieve the Regional Target of 511 MWe by 2010 and 1120 MWe by 2020 Target: • A reduction in energy usage at the regional level in line with the ‘energy hierarchy’; the development of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and district heating infrastructure necessary to achieve the Regional Target of 511MWe by 2010 and 1120MWe by 2020 Indicators: • Capacity of additional Combined Heat and Power facilities Results: Table 5.12 - Change in number of CHP schemes and their electrical capacity in the period 2003-2005 Source: Energy Trends Number of Schemes Electrical Capacity (Mwe) 2004 2005 2003 2004 2005 1,321 76 1,328 79 3,760 244 4,665 233 4,782 234 94
