Abstract
In this paper we raise some important questions about the extent to which barriers within the development control process inhibit the use of sustainable urban drainage systems. We argue that despite factors such as the severe UK flooding incidents in recent years, the introduction of Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) 25 and a rise in awareness of the environmental and social impacts of surface water, there are still significant barriers to the sustainable management of surface runoff. The impediments are categorized into pre-application, consultation, decision and appeal stages, providing a comprehensive account of areas that need to be addressed to enhance the sustainability of the built environment.
