Drainage Layouts for Planning & drainage strategies
Outline Drainage for Planning Applications
Need drainage sorted early? We prepare a clear, strategic drainage strategy and layout to support planning applications. This includes outline SuDS strategies, indicative outfall locations, impermeable area estimates, and realistic storage volumes—presented in a format tailored to satisfy LLFA requirements and unlock planning approval.
A drainage strategy is a high-level plan showing how surface water and foul water will be managed on a development site. It typically includes proposed outfall points, SuDS measures, flow controls, and estimated storage requirements based on site constraints and local policy. Planning officers and LLFAs expect this as part of major or high-risk minor applications to demonstrate that flood risk and runoff are properly considered from the outset.
