Getting SuDS right from the start - new guidance & animation
High quality SuDS that deliver multiple benefits need to be integrated within the layout of buildings, roads and public open space of new developments. This approach supports multi-functional SuDS, the delivery of multiple benefits and efficiently uses available land.
It is recognised that to obtain these good SuDS outcomes early engagement between the developer, their consultants, the local planning authority and Lead Local Flood Authority is required. However, it’s more common that SuDS and their integration within developments are overlooked and only considered at the planning application stage which is often too late.
This webinar introduced
CIRIA’s animation and associated new guidance on Getting SuDS right from the start which will outline the principles for the integration of SuDS into developments to inform the land acquisition and allocation process. This should improve how flood risk is considered, the delivery of SuDS and compliance with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework and the emerging requirements for Design Codes.
