What is a SD50 SuDS Report?
Climate change is compelling local authorities to think smarter about sustainable property development. Reconciling the pressure for housing with better environmental management is bringing forward new guidance on improved site drainage and flood mitigation.
The unique Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Infiltration Suitability Map is an advanced drainage systems sustainability report that reveals the locations best suited to sustainable drainage to meet new compliance standards for planning submissions.
What are the benefits of this advanced drainage systems sustainability report?
-
Allows preliminary assessment of the site without the need for a bespoke SuDS design
-
Use this SuDS Report in conjunction with the SuDSmart report range to identify SuDS infiltration suitability and flow/volume design data
-
Provides the client with a clear site risk profile on drainage cost and land area needed
Why use a SD50 advanced drainage systems sustainability report Report?
Government policy for England is to introduce SuDS to control site rainfall runoff via conditions in planning approvals. Infiltration into the ground is the preferred method for managing surface water runoff on site without increasing flood risk downstream.
Property professionals must assess the feasibility of infiltration SuDS at an early stage in support of the site development process during a SuDS Report. This will allow outline site assessment of the cost implications and initial master planning of the development prior to the requirement for detailed design.
Lead Local Flood Authorities also need clear guidance on the site suitability for infiltration SuDS when they are assessing proposed developments.
