What does it solve?

Planning applications require the developer to explore suitable SuDS options, starting with infiltration drainage. Whether infiltration can be achieved or not depends on the capacity of the ground to receive water.

The SuDSmart Plus Report is the second in our range of SuDS Reports designed to explore suitable SuDS options.

The report is based on GeoSmart’s innovative SuDS Infiltration Map, showing a site’s infiltration suitability (low, moderate, high) on a 50m grid providing total confidence during the early conceptual design stage.

SuDSmart Plus includes all the features of a SuDSmart Report with the addition of an outline SuDS strategy to offset the increase in surface water runoff from a new development.

The report typically supports developers and regulators in support of planning by creating and evaluating an appropriate drainage system for a site.

We can also supply a Detailed Drainage Design.

"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."
