Scottish Water Feasibility Study

The Council has been in discussions with Scottish Water about surface water run-off from new developments.

Following on from these discussions, an initial agreement has been reached that additional surface water run-off arising from new development could be off set through the creation of off-site containment areas (within the same water catchment area). Using this ‘credit scheme’ could allow for the more strategic use of land sites, make constrained sites more developable and result in significant cost savings to development. However, these ‘credits’ would only be used where options 1-4 as outlined within Scottish Water’s Surface Water Policy were either unviable or ‘financially’ unviable.

The Growth Team would like to appoint an external consultant to identify suitable sites for the creation of water catchment areas followed by the assessment and design of drainage options and / or water storage solutions. Initially the scope of the project would concentrate on the identification of sites already owned by the Council which are on the “Vacant and Derelict Land Register”, but this could be widened to include other sites if no suitable vacant and derelict land is found.
