SuDS Desk

The SuDS Desk follows sustainable drainage from policy to the ground. Its beat covers the national standards for sustainable drainage, Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act, SuDS approving bodies, adoption arrangements and the swales, basins, permeable paving and rain gardens that deliver them. It works from government guidance, local authority decisions, industry bodies and scheme promoters, and explains what each change means for designers, developers and adopting authorities.
