To meet the environmental, economic and regulatory demands currently, this training will support compliance with regulation whilst enabling the delivery of high quality cost effective SuDS that deliver multiple benefits. This engaging two-day course complements SuDS Standards (in all countries), national planning regulations and emerging Local Authority guidance underpinned by the CIRIA’s SuDS Manual (C753). The training will enable practitioners to confidently plan and design SuDS schemes.
Introduction
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) make a vital contribution to managing local flood risk and water quality whilst providing opportunities for biodiversity and amenity. Following the Ministerial Statement (Dec 2014), SuDS are expected in all new major developments. Over time knowledge and experience has improved and this training will share the latest good practice in the delivery of high quality multi-benefits SuDS.
