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.

Brookbanks Podcast #22: Planning, Engineering & Reality

August 4, 2026

Development projects often begin with a clear vision, a well-considered masterplan and ambitious objectives for the future of a site. As schemes progress, planning, infrastructure, engineering and commercial considerations all play a role in shaping how that vision is ultimately delivered. In the latest episode of the Brookbanks Podcast, Lee Witts, Group Director, and Richard Moorcroft, Chief Technical Officer, discuss the relationship between planning aspirations and delivery realities, exploring how projects evolve as they move through the development lifecycle. Drawing on their experience across planning, infrastructure and project delivery, Lee and Richard share their perspectives on why plans can sometimes look different on paper than they do when a scheme reaches delivery, and how greater collaboration between disciplines can help create stronger outcomes for clients and stakeholders.
