What is a site area concessionary scheme? Allow us to explain.

What is it?

If you’re a community group we will charge your premises as if the chargeable area was in the band of 100–199 square metres.

This concessionary scheme was introduced in 2010 following the publication of the Flood and Water Management Act and still continues today, so take advantage if you fit into one of these groups.
