If your development’s is located within Flood Zones 2 or 3, or within an area identified as having a surface water flooding problem, you are also likely to need a drainage strategy.

A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) or surface water drainage strategy looks at how surface water affects a site and the surrounding area. It considers how your development will be affected by this and establishes how a developer can meet the requirements for the site set by national and local planning policy.
