Sustainable drainage techniques are required in new development in Somerset to manage the surface water generated from additional paved surfaces in a sustainable way.
Incorporating well-designed SuDS as part of your development's layout will help to meet Somerset's local SuDS standards and make the planning application process faster and smoother. High quality SuDS in your development can save money on capital costs and maintenance, while increasing land values and house prices. SuDS can make your development a more attractive place to live, delivering value in terms of recreation, health and well-being, biodiversity net gain and climate change resilience.
