Why Drainage Design Matters
Drainage is far more than simply directing water away from a site.
A well-designed drainage strategy helps to:
- Reduce flood risk
- Prevent overwhelming existing drainage networks
- Support planning approval
- Improve environmental sustainability
- Meet Local Authority and statutory requirements
- Enhance long term site resilience
- Avoid costly redesigns later in the project
By considering drainage early in the design process, projects can progress more smoothly and efficiently.
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Modern developments increasingly require sustainable drainage solutions that manage surface water responsibly and effectively.
Our team can design and advise on a range of SuDS solutions including:
- Permeable paving
- Soakaways
- Swales
- Attenuation tanks
- Rain gardens
- Infiltration systems
- Flow control systems
These solutions help reduce runoff, improve water quality and support compliance with planning and environmental requirements.

- Planning applications
