Code of practice for surface water management for development sites

PUBLISH DATE 2013
PAGES 60
BSI BS 8582:2013

This British Standard gives recommendations on the planning, design, construction and maintenance of surface water management systems for new developments and redevelopment sites in:

  1. minimizing and/or mitigating flooding and other environmental risks arising from:

    1. site surface water run-off as a result of rain falling onto the development site;

    2. run-off conveyed across or arising on the site from other sources.

      NOTEĀ 1 Run-off resulting from snow melt is not covered in this British Standard.

  2. maximizing the societal and environmental benefits arising from the:

    1. use of surface water run-off to protect and enhance local water resources and supplies;

    2. contribution of surface water management systems in mitigating climate risks associated with urbanization;

    3. integration of surface water management systems with urban design in delivering amenity and community value and in repairing, protecting and enhancing landscape and/or townscape character;

    4. repair, protection and enhancement of biodiversity.

      NOTEĀ 2 For further information on the planning, design, construction and maintenance of SuDS see the CIRIA SuDS Manual [18].

      NOTEĀ 3 A design process map for surface water management is set out in FigureĀ 1, which supports effective navigation through this standard. This map works in conjunction with FigureĀ 2, which shows how the surface water management design process is linked with the development planning process.
