Surface Water Drainage Strategies for New Developments

At Castledine Environmental, we specialise in delivering compliant Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) and practical SuDS designs for planning and development projects throughout the UK. If your site is within a flood zone, exceeds one hectare, or poses a surface water runoff risk, you will likely require an FRA to support your planning application.

We assess the potential flood risks to your site from rivers, surface water, groundwater, and drainage infrastructure. Our reports are designed to satisfy planning conditions and help you achieve swift approval from local authorities and the Environment Agency. Each FRA report includes site-specific data, flood maps, and mitigation recommendations where required.

Alongside this, our SuDS reports offer low-impact, sustainable drainage strategies that reduce surface water runoff and align with national SuDS standards. These reports include recommendations for infiltration systems, attenuation storage, or discharge to watercourses, depending on your site conditions.

With a strong understanding of UK planning policies and drainage requirements, our team works with developers, self-builders, engineers, and architects to provide solutions that are both environmentally sound and cost-effective.

Castledine Environmental offers a responsive and professional service tailored to your needs-no jargon, just expert guidance and robust reporting.
