Webinar: Towards improved SuDS assessments – 29 Nov 16

Posted on November 8th 2016 in Events, SuDS

Join our webinar: Towards improved SuDS assessments – a discussion forum for LLFAs to promote successful outcomes in planning applications

29 November 2016, 3pm-4pm (UK time)

Who should sign up

This webinar is designed for Lead Local Flood Authority Officers and Flood Risk Managers in Local Authorities to discuss and share approaches on drainage information within planning conditions for developers. By sharing our understanding and examining GeoSmart’s national SuDS suitability data and reports, we can collectively enhance guidance provided to developers, architects and planning consultants for better decision making. We can ensure that planning applications include the correct information in a suitable format for each stage of an application to support easy LLFA assessment.

What will be covered?

The agenda will focus on an open discussion around the following topics.

  • Existing Drainage Guidance and how this is communicated to developers
  • An example approach: Northamptonshire County Council with guest speaker – Ruth Burnham, Senior Flood and Water Officer
  • Adoption of SuDS and ongoing maintenance
  • Understanding SuDS options
  • The role that SuDS data plays in the process – a case study of GeoSmart’s SuDSmart reports
  • Can we define a more common approach?
  • Towards consensus & The House of Lords Spring 17 Review
  • Open Q&A

We would be happy to include advance questions if you would like to submit these ahead of the event either via the registration form or via email.

Register now.

"During the conveyancing process for my current house purchase, I was extremely concerned to find the general search results revealed the house was at 'moderate risk of groundwater flooding'. I was unable to get any further information from anyone until I contacted GeoSmart. The staff I spoke to were friendly, helpful, efficient and extremely knowledgeable. The information provided was very site specific and focused. The staff member who talked me through the information and maps provided was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and allowed me plenty of time to discuss issues. Thanks to GeoSmart for their great service."
