What is a SuDs report?
A Surface Water Drainage Strategy (SuDS) is a natural approach to managing surface water run-off from your site. SuDS reduces the risk of flooding, prevents water pollution and increases green spaces.
Planning policy states that developments should utilise SuDs unless there are practical reasons for not doing so. It should aim to manage surface water runoff as close to its source as possible in line with the drainage hierarchy:

Store rainwater for later use
Use infiltration techniques, such as porous surfaces in non-clay areas
Attenuate rainwater in ponds or open water features for gradual release
Attenuate rainwater by storing it in tanks or sealed water features for gradual release
Discharge rainwater direct to a watercourse
Discharge rainwater to a surface water sewer/drain
Discharge rainwater to the combined sewer
