Go back as far as you can and read all the reports.
Might need to go through many planing applications to piece it all together.0 -

New build estates have to use Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) as part of the process of gaining planning permission. The preferred method of providing this is a pond or detention basin which improves water quality but also improves biodiversity.
The basin on our estate is of a fair size and is in water all year round (some are designed to be dry and only hold water during wetter periods) it has lovely paths around it and woodland walks adjacent. There is no fencing to the pond and it has been designed and planted to look as natural as possible.1
