DM 18.2 Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
- The design of the surface water drainage system should be integrated into the design of proposed buildings or landscaping, where feasible and practical, and should follow the SuDS management train and London Plan drainage hierarchy.
- SuDS designs must take account of the City’s archaeological heritage, complex underground utilities, transport infrastructure and other underground structures, incorporating suitable SuDS elements for the City’s high density urban situation.
- SuDS should be designed, where possible, to maximise contributions to water resource efficiency, biodiversity enhancement and the provision of multifunctional open spaces.
