Drainage strategies

SuDS-led surface and foul water strategies that demonstrate deliverability at planning.

We prepare surface water drainage strategies to national and local guidance, from outline volumes for the masterplan through to the discharge of Reserved Matters conditions. Strategies are designed to the National Standard for SuDS and to work with Biodiversity Net Gain, with early engagement with the Lead Local Flood Authority.

Our foul water strategies cover collection, conveyance and disposal, including pumping stations, with early engagement with the water authority to agree connection points and capacity.

For sites in Wales, strategies are designed to the Welsh Government statutory standards for sustainable drainage and prepared to support SuDS Approving Body (SAB) approval.

Drainage is developed alongside the site levels strategy and the highway layout, so that roads, levels and drainage work together.

FEATURED PROJECT

Cardiff Peninsula

We provided transport planning advice to support both an outline planning application and Environmental Impact Assessment for a proposed development at Cardiff Peninsula, a major mixed-use waterfront regeneration scheme.

The proposals comprise approximately 1,000 residential apartments, 300 co-living units, 11 townhouses, a 220-bed hotel, around 30,000 sqm of employment space, alongside retail, food and drink, community and leisure uses.

The Transport Chapter of the Environmental Statement considered the effect of the proposals against a number of environmental criteria. This demonstrated that, subject to suitable mitigation, the scheme would not have a significant adverse effect considered against the EIA Regulations.

Apex provided transport planning and highways advice to support an outline planning application for the Cardiff Peninsula development, a major mixed-use waterfront regeneration scheme.

The proposals comprise approximately 1,000 residential apartments, 300 co-living units, 11 townhouses, a 220-bed hotel, around 30,000 sqm of employment space, alongside retail, food and drink, community and leisure uses. The proposed masterplan will create a new and vibrant waterfront development for the community to live, work, relax and visit.

Apex prepared a Transport Assessment and Framework Travel Plan to support the application, with a particular focus on sustainable connectivity, active travel and reducing reliance on the private car.
