Sustainable drainage in planning
As the lead local flood authority (LLFA) we can give you information and advice if you are preparing a planning application.
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) aim to manage rainwater runoff in a natural way by replicating natural processes.
Examples of SuDS provisions include:
- green roofs
- permeable pavement and underground storage
- ponds
- shallow ditches or swales
- soakaways
- wetlands.
Email SuDS@kent.gov.uk for advice or information.
