SURFACE WATER DRAINAGE STRATEGY


The surface water management strategy will also investigate what effect the development will have on these, and outlines measures the developer can take so that runoff rates meet the requirements for the site set by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Environment Agency or by local planning policy.
In particular, the SuDS report will demonstrate that the development will conform to the guidance set out in NPPF where:
Paragraph 051 states, the drainage is to be designed to control surface water run off close to where it falls and mimic natural drainage as closely as possible, will provide opportunities to reduce the causes and impacts of flooding, and will remove pollutants from urban run-off at source;
As assessment will be carried out as stated in Paragraph 079 on whether a sustainable drainage system should be considered depending on the proposed development and its location;
And Paragraph 080 where the aim of the surface water management will be to discharge surface runoff as high up the following hierarchy of drainage options as reasonably practicable: into the ground (infiltration); to a surface water body; to a surface water sewer, highway drain, or another drainage system; to a combined sewer.
The ‘Non-Statutory Technical Standards for Sustainable Drainage Systems – March 2015’ states that the post-development surface water run-off rate should not exceed the pre-development greenfield rate, but where this is not reasonably practical the surface water run-off volume must be discharged at a rate that does not adversely affect flood risk.

WHAT DO THE REPORTS DETAIL?


  • Surface Water Run-off Calculations and reports. Assessment of Greenfield and Brownfield run-off rates and volumes pre and post-development in accordance with best practice. Surface water run-off calculations are undertaken using the Institute of Hydrology (IH) 124 and Rational Methods.
  • Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) Design. SuDS design in accordance with The SuDS Manual and BRE365.
  • Soakaway Design. Some small developments only require the installation of soakways. Percolation test results subject to these being in accordance with BRE365 methodology.

Site Investigation

  All site investigations administer using firm and well-defined health and safety procedures. Also, a Site investigation is a process driven by strict and well-defined security practices with site-specific objective statements and risk assessments provided. It starts with desk study and a walkover. An on-site investigation is the first step in launching an on-site investigation service. Subsurface site investigations are a crucial part of the site's Geo-Environmental status report. It covers any landfill/gas issue. At earth environmental, our staff has extensive experience in the design of geotechnical, mining, and environmental site investigations. Also, we offer a complete and versatile range of Site Investigation techniques.

Ground Investigation

  All  Ground investigations  follow strict and well-defined health and safety methods.  A ground investigation analyzes the fundamental conditions of the proposed site. A ground Investigation survey consists of a three-step method to acquire absolute knowledge of the soil parameters, rock, and groundwater. All Ground investigations administer using firm and well-defined health and safety procedures. The ground investigation includes any landfill/soil gas problems, soil/groundwater contamination, mining site assessment, hydrogeology, slope stability assessment, or testing geotechnical conditions of a new building or a land-form.  To know more about the Ground investigation procedure, kindly visit:  https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/ground-investigation-services/ https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/conducting-site-investigations/

Flood Risk Assessment

  The scope and characteristics of the flood risk assessment depend on the area and topography of the development site. A flood risk assessment (FRA) recognizes potential flood causes, the amount of flooding, and the recommended relief actions. Flood Risk Assessments are performed in various sites to meet the planning requirements set out by local authorities and adhere to the Environment Agency and National Planning Policy Framework advice and guidance. It can include any design modification that mitigates flooding, distributes vulnerable users to the correct floor level, and recognizes the safest route in the event of a flood. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical's expert team prepare FRA reports under all health and safety regulations.
