Follow the EA standing advice for a minor extension (household extensions or non-domestic extensions less than 250 square metres) in flood zone 2 or 3.
It is the responsibility of a developer to make proper provision for surface water drainage to ground, water courses or surface water sewer. It must not be allowed to drain to the foul sewer, as this is a major contributor to sewer flooding.
