The General Binding Rules – 11 Years On

It’s been over a decade since the introduction of the General Binding Rules (GBRs) – regulations designed to protect our environment and clarify responsibilities around off mains drainage. But how well do property professionals really understand them today?

In this informative session, we’ll be joined by James Warren from Off Mains Solutions, an expert in private drainage compliance, to explore what the GBRs mean ten years on.

The webinar will cover:

• An overview of the General Binding Rules – why they were introduced, by whom, and when.
• Defining a ‘Small Sewage Discharge’ – and why this classification matters.
• What the GBRs mean for property owners served by private, off mains drainage systems.
• Understanding non-compliance – what constitutes a non-compliant system, what actions must be taken, and who holds responsibility.

This session will help all property professionals understand (or refresh your knowledge of) the rules governing off mains drainage and what they mean in practice for property transactions and ownership.

Join us to gain expert insight into the evolution of the GBRs, current compliance expectations, and practical steps for identifying and addressing drainage issues.

Even if you cannot make the webinar live, you can still register, and you'll be sent a link to the recording after the session.
