SuDS are important in addressing water quality impacts of surface water run-off, as well as managing flood risk. Natural England advocates the use of the risk index method in the CIRIA SuDS Manual, to identify the risk of pollutants and the SuDS measures that would mitigate the risk.
Therefore, we recommend amending the text to read:
There should be no increase in either the volume or rate of surface water runoff leaving the site, and the SuDS should be designed to minimise water quality impacts.
