During periodic flooding events, the public and politician’s awareness is heightened to the consequences of flooding to homes, businesses and essential infrastructure.
The importance of an infrastructure with good drainage systems
With the implementation of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, the issue of compliance with good Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) will come to the forefront of Clients and planning Authorities through the LLFA’s (Local Lead Flood Authorities). As a result, the implementation of appropriate drainage systems will become even more of a key aspect of development.
