The following measures are strongly recommended, although this list is not exhaustive:- - Raising the level of the building by at least 300mm above local levels; - Waterproof membrane in the ground floor; - Waterproof plaster and waterproofing to ground floor; - Electrics from the upstairs down and sockets high up off the ground floor; - Non return valves on the sewerage pipes; - Emergency escape plan for each individual property; - Air brick covers; and - Movable flood barriers for entrances

8.With regards to surface water drainage it is the responsibility of the developer to make proper provision for drainage to ground, water courses or a suitable sewer. In respect of surface water it is recommended that the applicant should ensure that storm flows are attenuated or regulated into the receiving public network through on or off site storage. When it is proposed to connect to a combined public sewer, the site drainage should be separate and combined at the final manhole nearest the boundary. Connections are not permitted for the removal of Ground Water. Where the developer proposes to discharge to a public sewer, prior approval from Thames Water Developer Services will be required. They can be contacted on 0845 850 2777.
