New sewerage sector guidance (SSG) authored by Water UK and approved by Ofwat encourages comprehensive, holistic water management design throughout site developments as standard.

For the first time it supports the use of the latest high performance thermoplastic pipeline materials while encouraging the wider adoption of sustainable drainage assets.

The introduction of SuDS to SSG is an important one as it marks a step change in the planning of water management on future developments. By incorporating green urbanisation systems developers can maximise the value and potential of developable land and meet impending Biodiversity Net Gain requirements.
