Could on-site SuDS assist your scheme through Nutrient Neutrality requirements?

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Could on-site SuDS assist your scheme through Nutrient Neutrality requirements?

Using SuDS to reduce phosphorus in surface water runoff.

CIRIA, in conjunction with Natural England, have released guidance on assessing Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems on site for their potential to remove nutrients from development runoff.

Brookbanks, who have been involved in driving this important consideration forward, are now in a position to include this aspect in future Nutrient Assessments.

As we have done for many successful applications this new tool will allow us to maximise the benefits from your development, driving your potential to achieve neutrality and deliver development in Nutrient hit areas of the Country.

Making High Rise Developments Deliverable

April 17, 2026

High‑rise developments rarely fail through lack of ambition, but through risks that are identified too late. When planning, infrastructure, fire strategy, servicing and buildability are treated as separate exercises, schemes often look strong in concept but weaken rapidly at delivery, leading to redesign, delays and value erosion. This article explores why early, joined‑up thinking is essential for tall buildings, and how front‑end due diligence and integrated strategy can reduce risk, protect viability and create schemes that are genuinely deliverable.

Why Foundation Strategy is a key for Infrastructure Delivery

April 3, 2026

Ground conditions remain one of the biggest sources of cost, carbon and programme risk in infrastructure delivery, yet foundation strategy is still too often considered too late. When layouts and levels are fixed before the ground is understood, projects lose the chance to shape efficient, predictable outcomes. This article explores why early, ground‑led design matters and how treating foundation strategy as a front‑end decision can unlock clarity, reduce risk and improve overall project performance.
