Why choose SuDSmart?
The latest guidance for sustainable drainage states that infiltration discharge into the ground is the preferred method for managing surface water. If this isn’t possible, other drainage systems can be introduced.
 
SuDSmart reports range from screening to more complex assessments, detailing alternative options and outline strategies. These include attenuation volumes so they can meet Lead Local Flood Authority requirements. They are the most cost effective way to meet local authority planning conditions.
