Water and drainage
The challenges faced by our clients
Water law is often integral to the success of new and existing developments in ensuring effective site drainage and overcoming any regulatory obstacles, such as permit requirements, as well as for clients proposing works on or near a watercourse. As climate change becomes more evident flooding risks must also be addressed and the significance of water features on or near development land becomes a key consideration.
How we can help
Our team of specialist environment lawyers have expertise in all aspects of water and drainage law and can advise on:
- agreements with statutory undertakers to facilitate the connection to water and sewer mains
- adoption of new and existing drains and apparatus
- private drains and third party rights regarding the use of these
- riparian water rights regarding natural watercourses, springs, wells and underground channels and works to or around these water features
- abstraction rights
- water pollution
- water permits and consents
- flooding.
