Following the recently published Planning Policy Guidance Note 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPG 25), responsibilities in land drainage and flood defence have shifted towards local authorities and developers. Many new developments now require a flood risk assessment and should incorporate sustainable drainage measures on site. Faber Maunsell can provide assistance to developers and decision-makers on how best to follow PPG 25 with the most cost-effective and low maintenance designs.
SUDS can save money in the following areas: · Reduced excavation costs during drainage system construction · Reduced requirement to negotiate wayleaves and easements · Differential charging to owner/occupiers leading to reductions in sewerage charges · Simpler building techniques with lower costs involved; · Simpler maintenance techniques.
FURTHER BENEFITS OF SUDS · Reduced requirement for new (storm) sewer networks and upgrading existing systems · Upgrade of wastewater treatment works as a result of new developments is less likely to be needed · Reduction of risk of sewer flooding · Pollutant removal of up to 90% (depending on type) · Improvement of amenity and wildlife interest of developments.
