What Are Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) and Why Are They Important?
For decades, the focus of urban drainage was to remove rainwater quickly. However, with increasing urbanisation and extreme weather due to climate change, this approach is no longer sustainable. Conventional systems are under strain, causing flooding and pollution. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) now play a vital role in addressing these challenges.
How SuDS Can Help Developers Meet Environmental Standards
Developing land in the UK is becoming increasingly complex, with stringent regulations now governing how surface water is managed. For developers, meeting these environmental standards is no longer just a box-ticking exercise.
How to Prepare a Drainage Strategy for Planning Approval
Securing planning permission is often the most challenging hurdle in any development project. A comprehensive drainage strategy is no longer an optional extra but a critical validation requirement for most major and minor planning applications across the UK.
