Government policy for England is to introduce sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) to control site rainfall runoff via conditions in planning approvals. Infiltration into the ground is the preferred method for managing surface water runoff on site without increasing flood risk downstream.

Property professionals need to assess the feasibility of infiltration SuDS at an early stage in support of the site development process. This will allow outline site assessment of the cost implications and initial master planning of the development prior to the requirement for detailed design.

Lead Local Flood Authorities also need clear guidance on the site suitability for infiltration SuDS when they are assessing proposed developments.

The GeoSmart SD50 map provides an assessment of the capacity of the ground to receive infiltration depending on the nature, thickness and permeability of the underlying material and the depth to the high groundwater table.

Benefits

  • Allows preliminary assessment of the site without the need for bespoke SuDS design
  • Use in conjunction with the SuDSmart report range to identify SuDS infiltration suitability and flow/volume design data
  • Combination may be sufficient to obtain outline planning
  • Provides customers with clear site risk profile on drainage cost and land area needed

"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."
