The insertion of 'where practicable' is in our view an unnecessary and undesirable weakening of the policy and the requirement for utilising sustainable drainage solutions unambiguously reinstated. We therefore suggest the removal of the wording 'where practicable' as practical solutions which are appropriate to each case can and should be sought in all circumstances.
