The Site Location Plan is included as Figure 1. Please see Figure 2 for the Proposed Site Plan
and Figure 3 for the Proposed Sustainable Drainage Plan. Cross Section A-A’ shows a
generalised section through the proposed Type B Partial Infiltration Pervious Pavement.
1.2 Aim
The aim of this report is to ensure:
• the best scheme for the management of surface water run-off from the development,
maximising opportunities for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and utilising
existing surface water drainage pipework/routes where possible; and,
• that either there is a low risk of flooding from all sources or that the development is
appropriately flood resilient and resistant, including safe access and escape routes
where required, and that any residual risk can be safely managed.
1.3 Objective
The objective of this report is to provide a Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and Flood
Risk Assessment (FRA) Report at the planning stage that details:
• How flood risk on and off site has been evaluated;
• The scope of SUDS measures appropriate for the site;
• How the SUDS system will meet local and national standards;
• Scaled sustainable drainage plan indicating the extent, position and type of all
proposed hard surfacing (e.g. drives, parking areas, paths, patios) and roofed areas;
• Details of the method of disposal for all areas including means of treatment or
interception for potentially polluted run off;
• Scaled drawings including cross section, to illustrate the construction method and
materials to be used for the hard surfacing (sample materials and literature
demonstrating permeability may be required);
• Maintenance arrangements / management plan for the lifetime of the development.
2.0 Summary of Site Characteristics and Setting
2.1 Site Details
The development site is located at land to the rear of 1 McWilliam Road, Bournemouth (Figure
1).
The site is approximately 40m long by 25m wide; circa 0.083ha in area; and the National
Ordnance Survey (OS) Grid Reference is 409124,094795.
The main site area appears to be approximately level with land falling towards it from the
north, south and west (Photographs 5-8).

The site is bounded to the north, east, south and west by similar residential development
(Figures 1 - 2).
2.2 Site Visit
A site visit was undertaken on Friday 11 August 2017.
The residential building roofs and driveways to the north and northeast of the site were noted
to discharge towards the development site area (Photographs 9-10).

Photograph 10
A foul sewer manhole is located around 36.8m Above Ordnance Datum (AOD) in the vehicle
access to land to the rear of 1 McWilliam Road (Photograph 1). The 100mm diameter foul
sewer flows towards McWilliams Road at a depth of around 3.60m below ground level (bgl),
with a second 100mm diameter inlet noted at a depth of around 0.85m bgl (Photograph 11).
Photograph 11
In total 3 No. surface water gullies serve the upgradient McWilliams Road, with one appearing
to be blocked (Photograph 12).
Photograph 12
2.3 Information Obtained from the Site Owner
Information obtained from the owner of the site indicates that there is surface water drain
running across the site. No further information is available.
2.4 Information Obtained from Wessex Water Developer Services
Please see Appendix A for the sewer plan provided by Wessex Water. The plan shows that
the foul sewer manhole located in the vehicle access to land to the rear of 1 McWilliam Road
(Photograph 1) serves No.3 McWilliam Road and discharges to a 225mm diameter sewer
under McWilliam Road.
2.5 Ground Conditions
Cranfield Soil and Agrifood Institute (CSAI) Soilscapes Map provides information on the soil
underlying the site - ‘Freely draining very acid sandy and loamy soils’1.
The BGS Geoindex website also provides information on the superficial deposits and bedrock
geology underlying the site - ‘gravel, sand and clay depending on upslope source and distance
from source’2 and ‘Fine- to medium-grained sand, partly cross-bedded, with lenticular units
of rounded flint pebble- and cobble-gravel’3. The nearest available borehole log on the BGS
Geoindex website is 610m south southeast of the site4.
Groundwater beneath the site location is not associated with a source protection zone5.
The hydrological characteristics of the site location are:
• Average annual rainfall (AAR) mm 794
• Soil runoff coefficient (SPR) 0.1
• Growth curve factor 1 0.85

3.0 Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)
3.1 Flooding from Rivers and Sea
The lowest point at the site appears to be around 33.2m AOD. The site appears to be
approximately level with land falling towards it from the north, south and west (Photographs
5-8).
A review of the Environment Agency (EA) Flood Map for Planning (from Rivers and the Sea)7
indicates that the:
• site lies within Flood Zone 1 i.e. land assessed as having less than a 0.1 per cent (1 in
1000) chance of flooding occurring each year; and,
• nearest area that could be affected by river flooding is approximately 1.2km north of
the site. This area lies within Flood Zone 3 i.e. land assessed as having a 1 in 100 or
greater annual probability of river flooding occurring each year.
3.2 Flooding from Land
A review of the EA’s risk of flooding from surface water map indicates a predominantly low
risk - between 1 in 1000 (0.1%) and 1 in 100 (1%) chance of flooding each year - and a localised
medium risk - between 1 in 100 (1%) and 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year - in the
development site area8.
Where a low risk is indicated, the surface water depth is predominantly below 300mm - with
a localised 300mm to 900mm depth - and a surface water velocity of over 0.25 m/s9. The
direction of water flow is west to east10.
Where a localised medium risk is indicated, the surface water depth is 300mm to 900mm
7 https://flood-map-for-planning.service.gov.uk/summary/409125/94789 8 https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map?easting=409099&northing=94827&address=100040751850 9 https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map?easting=409099&northing=94827&address=100040751850 10 https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map?easting=409099&northing=94827&address=100040751850
depth and the surface water velocity is less than 0.25 m/s11.
3.3 Flooding from Groundwater
Appendix 6 of the Bournemouth Borough Council Local Flood Risk Management Strategy12
indicates that the site is not located in an area at risk of groundwater flooding.
3.4 Flooding from Sewers
Volume II, Tile Set 1 of the Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment13 indicates that the area in
which this site is situated has not experienced sewer flooding of property.
3.5 Flooding from Reservoirs, Canals and Other Artificial Sources
The site is not located in an area at risk of inundation should large reservoir flooding occur14.
3.6 Conclusion
The site is situated in Flood Zone 1 (i.e. land assessed as having less than a 0.1 per cent (1 in
1000) chance of river flooding occurring each year as defined in Planning Policy Guidance
(PPG) Flood Risk and Coastal Change15) but the FRA indicates that there is a low and localised
medium risk of flooding from land close to the curtilage of the property.
Where a low risk is indicated, the surface water depth is predominantly below 300mm - with
a localised 300mm to 900mm depth - and a surface water velocity of over 0.25 m/s16. The
direction of water flow is west to east17.

Where a localised medium risk is indicated, the surface water depth is 300mm to 900mm
depth and the surface water velocity is less than 0.25 m/s18.
Based on the type of flooding (from land), the expected duration is likely to be short.
The picture below from the EAs Practical Guidance for Property Level Flood Protection19
illustrates potential routes for water entry.

3.6.1 Entry through gaps around pipes and cables that pass through walls and floors
See section 3.6.8.
3.6.2 Entry through party walls from property next door if it is flooded
Not applicable.
3.6.3 Entry through cracks in brickwork
See section 3.6.8.
3.6.4 Entry at airbricks
See section 3.6.8.
3.6.5 Entry at gaps and cracks in joint sealant around doors and windows
A flood resistant door is recommended. ‘Although this option is obviously more expensive, it
does have the benefit that as long as the door is shut, that opening is protected. Other
benefits include:
• They require no fitting prior to flooding so are suitable for areas where no flood
warning facility is available and areas susceptible to flash flooding.
• They come in a large range of styles and are virtually indistinguishable from normal
doors and so overcome many of the aesthetic objections to door barriers20.
3.6.6 Seepage through the ground entering through the floors of basements and cellars
Not applicable.
20 Environment Agency, Dave Bartram - ncpms Innovation Manager, Practical Guidance for Property Level Flood Protection
3.6.7 Entry through permeable brickwork and weathered or damaged mortar
See section 3.6.8.
3.6.8 Entry at the damp-proof course
Assuming a concrete slab foundation and a standard brick built wall cavity, at the request of
Gray Environmental Limited, Delta Membrane Systems Limited provided a sketched section
showing externally applied resilience measures for cavity wall construction (Appendix B).
Once further details on the type and form of construction, sections and plans have been
developed for the project, Delta Membrane Systems Limited can assist with the detailing for
the flood resilience measures.
3.6.9 Backflow through overloaded drainage/sewer system blocked by flooding
It is recommended that post development, all inspection chambers are fitted with non-return
valves.
Discharge pipes from washing machines or sinks can also provide a route for water entry, if
they are below the expected flood level. ‘There are a number of smaller easy fit NRVs on the
market especially for this purpose’21.
It is also recommended that a CCTV survey is undertaken of the surface water drain running
across the site to both locate the drain and ensure that any required repairs to the pipework
/ inspection chambers are completed prior to completion of the redevelopment.

4.0 SuDS Selection
The main site area appears to be approximately level with land falling towards it from the
north, south and west (Photographs 5-8).
The residential building roofs and driveways to the north and northeast of the site were noted
to discharge towards the development site area (Photographs 9-10).
In total 3 No. surface water gullies serve the upgradient McWilliams Road, with one appearing
to be blocked (Photograph 11).
Information obtained from the owner of the site indicates that that there is surface water
drain running across the site. No further information is available.
Cranfield Soil and Agrifood Institute (CSAI) Soilscapes Map provides information on the soil
underlying the site - ‘Freely draining very acid sandy and loamy soils’22.
The BGS Geoindex website also provides information on the superficial deposits and bedrock
geology underlying the site - ‘gravel, sand and clay depending on upslope source and distance
from source’23 and ‘Fine- to medium-grained sand, partly cross-bedded, with lenticular units
of rounded flint pebble- and cobble-gravel’24.
The FRA indicates that there is a low risk - between 1 in 1000 (0.1%) and 1 in 100 (1%) chance
of flooding each year - and a localised medium risk - between 1 in 100 (1%) and 1 in 30 (3.3%)
chance of flooding each year - of flooding from land close to the curtilage of the property.
Where a low risk is indicated, the surface water depth is predominantly below 300mm with a
localised 300mm to 900mm depth and a surface water velocity of over 0.25 m/s25. The
direction of water flow is west to east26.
Where a localised medium risk is indicated, the surface water depth is 300mm to 900mm

depth and the surface water velocity is less than 0.25 m/s27.
Based on the type of flooding (from land), the expected duration is likely to be short.
Characteristics were reviewed to allow appropriate selection of SuDS components for the site.
The main constraints/opportunities driving SuDS selection are summarised below and based
on Table 5.4 of CIRIA C69728.
Characteristic Constraint/Opportunity
Soils (permeable) Opportunity for retention, wetland,
infiltration, filtration and source control. Area draining to a single SUDS component
(<2ha)
Groundwater (>1m bgl)
Site topographic characteristics (0-5%)
Available head (0-1m)
Available space (low)
Initially, there appears to be opportunities for surface water runoff to discharge to the public
surface water sewerage system via retention (subsurface storage), wetland (pocket wetland
with surface baseflow), infiltration (infiltration trench, soakaway), filtration (perimeter sand
filter, filter trench) and source control (green roof, rainwater harvesting system, permeable
pavement).
Table 5.9 of CIRIA C69729 indicates:
• retention (subsurface storage) requires low maintenance, has high community
acceptability, requires medium cost and has low habitat creation potential;
• wetland (pocket wetland with surface baseflow) requires high maintenance, has
medium community acceptability, requires high cost and has high habitat creation
potential;
• infiltration (infiltration trench) requires low maintenance, has medium community
acceptability, requires low cost and has low habitat creation potential;
27 https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk/map?easting=409099&northing=94827&address=100040751850 28 CIRIA C697, The SuDS Manual, 2007 29 CIRIA C697, The SuDS Manual, 2007
• infiltration (soakaway) requires low maintenance, has medium community
acceptability, requires medium cost and has low habitat creation potential;
• filtration (perimeter sand filter) requires medium maintenance, has low community
acceptability, requires high cost and has low habitat creation potential;
• filtration (filter trench) requires medium maintenance, has medium community
acceptability, requires high cost and has low habitat creation potential;
• source control (green roof) requires high maintenance, has high community
acceptability, requires high cost and has high habitat creation potential;
• source control (rainwater harvesting system) requires high maintenance, has medium
community acceptability, requires high cost and has low habitat creation potential;
• source control (permeable pavement) requires medium maintenance, has medium
community acceptability, requires medium cost and has low habitat creation
potential.
The disruptive aspects of incorporating source control (green roof, rainwater harvesting) and
wetland (pocket wetland with surface baseflow) into the development design - coupled with
the high maintenance and high cost - indicates that there are no opportunities for these SuDS
techniques.
There are opportunities for the following SuDS techniques:
• retention (subsurface storage) prior to release at a controlled rate;
• infiltration (infiltration trench, soakaway);
• filtration (perimeter sand filter, filter trench); and,
• source control (permeable pavement).
5.0 Planning and Agreement of Design Criteria
5.1 Hydraulic Design Criteria
• discharges from the site to be limited to pre development flow rates;
• attenuation storage volume required to cater for the 100 year critical event;
• long term storage required to prevent increase in downstream flood risk;
• uplift on extreme rainfall intensities of 40% when designing for the ‘2080s’ (2070 to
2115)30; and,
• risk associated with blockage at key locations to be identified and accommodated
appropriately.
5.1.1 Type B Partial Infiltration Pervious Pavement
Please see Section 20.5 of CIRIA C753, The SuDS Manual, 2015 for Hydraulic Design
Requirements for Pervious Pavements.
5.2 Water Quality Design Criteria
In accordance with CIRIA C753, The SuDS Manual, 201531 runoff discharged from the site
should be of an acceptable water quality to protect surface water and groundwaters
effectively (Section 4.2.2 of CIRIA 753, 2015) and the SuDS treatment design should take into
account the potential impacts of climate change on the system processes and associated
performance (Section 4.2.3 of CIRIA 753, 2015).
5.2.1 Type B Partial Infiltration Pervious Pavement
Please see Section 20.6 of CIRIA C753, The SuDS Manual, 2015 for Treatment Design
Requirements for Pervious Pavements.
5.3 Amenity Design Criteria

6.0 Management of Surface Water Run-off
6.1 Site Information
The site area is circa 830m2.
The percentage impermeable area (PIMP) of the site pre development is 0%. The percentage
impermeable area (PIMP) of the site post development is 43%.
6.2 Peak Rate and Volume of Runoff
Rate and volume of runoff calculations are included in Appendix C.
The calculated greenfield runoff rate is 0.02 l/s (based on 0.1 ha which is minimum value when
using the www.uksuds.com greenfield runoff tool).
The discharge rates have been set as low as possible while also ensuring that there is not a
risk to the development in case of blockage (see below and section 6.2.1).
The calculated attenuation storage volume for the post development area - based on the 100
year critical event with 40% uplift for extreme rainfall intensities and a 0.2 l/s gravity flow
control - is 47.91m3 with a time to empty of 9.48hrs
6.2.1 Type B Partial Infiltration Pervious Pavement
Please see Figure 3 Sustainable Drainage Plan and Generalised Cross Section A-A’.
It is proposed the Type B Partial Infiltration Pervious Access / Drive / Turning area (190m2)
will comprise of:
• 50mm decorative gravel bedding layer, 80mm thick permeable block paving with
50mm thick bedding layer (Type 2/6.3mm or similar) or 40mm porous asphalt 10
surface course and 80mm porous asphalt 14 binder course with 50mm thick bedding
layer (Type 2/6.3mm or similar);
• 125mm Hydraulically bound coarse graded aggregate (HBCGA) sub base; and,
• 150mm Coarse graded aggregate sub base - Type 4/20mm or similar (BS 7533-
13:2009).
‘HBCGA refers to hydraulically bound coarse graded aggregate (conforming to BS EN 14227-
1:2013), minimum cement content 3%, strength class C5/6 as defined in BS EN 14227-1 and
minimum permeability 10,000 mm/hr when tested in accordance with ASTM C1701M-09 or
other suitable test)’ 35.
35 CIRIA C753, The SuDS Manual, 2015
Figure 6.1
The storage volume of the access / drive / turning area 275mm thick sub base is calculated to
be 16m3 (based on a graded gravel porosity of 0.336).
Based on a plane infiltration system of areal dimensions 190m2; an infiltration coefficient of
1x10-5 m/s (Silty clayey SAND37); a minor inconvenience factor of safety (2); and a void ratio
of 0.3 (coarse graded aggregate), the critical depth of water (hmax) for the proposed access /
drive / turning area is 0.29m with a time to half empty (t1/2) of 2.41hr for the 1 hour 100 year
event with a 40% allowance for climate change (Appendix D). This depth will be mitigated by
the minimum 275mm coarse graded aggregate sub-base and the 0.2 l/s gravity flow control
outlet.
A check dam with 150mm flow control to restrict flow between compartments and optimise
the use of available storage space is calculated to be required every 9m in the sub-base
(Appendix E).

Rainwater runoff from the building roof downpipes can drain directly to the Type B Partial
Infiltration Pervious Pavement sub-base via Permavoid Rainwater Diffuser Units (Appendix F)
or similar.
External Parking Spaces can be constructed with nominal fall toward Type B Partial Infiltration
Pervious Access / Drive / Turning Area.
Infiltration and CBR testing of the sub grade is required. If saturated CBR of sub grade less
than 5%, a coarse graded aggregate capping layer is also required38.
Lastly, also recommend installation of bull nose kerb with 25mm upstand at site access from
McWilliam Road.
6.3 Management and Maintenance Requirements
Responsibility for the management and maintenance of the pervious pavement drainage will
rest with the property owners.
Periodic inspection is essential and should be carried out to ensure that the pervious
pavement drainage infrastructure is free from debris which could impair its performance.
Inspection and cleaning of silt and other debris from the roofs, inlets, outlets and filters should
be undertaken annually and after severe storms/poor performance.

DesignThe Skeletank Mini Flow Control Chamber is specifically designed for use within a Skeletank attenuation system. The standard 11mm diameter orifice, protected by a removable filter, allows for surface water runoff to be restricted to a flow rate of 0.2l/s, preferably within the curtilage of each plot to suit the site layout.
Orifices to suit higher flow rates of 0.4l/s and 0.6l/s are available should the drainage system need to accommodate more than one property for genuine design reasons.
SpecificationFilters are removable to allow for cleaning and/or replacement. A specialised tool is required to facilitate removal and it is essential that filters are fixed back into position before replacing the filter tube.
Each chamber has a 200mm deep sump to accommodate the deposition of any suspended solids remaining in the runoff which has passed through the Skeletank RWP Filter Chambers positioned on the downpipes.
The chamber spigots are sized to fit standard 110mm diameter underground push-fit PVC-u drainage sockets.
Installation1. Set out the location of the chamber
2. Excavate to the required depth. Set the chambers on a bed of concrete in accordance with the standard detail drawing. The chambers are supplied with a secondary cover; this cover must be left in place during construction to prevent any debris i.e. Stone, mortar, bricks etc falling into the chamber. It is recommended that this cover be left in place when the brickwork and final choice of cover & frame has been fixed. Before completion ensure that the secondary cover is not trapped by mortar and can easily be removed.
3. If it is necessary to reduce the height of the chamber, remove the secondary cover, cut the chamber to the required height and replace the secondary cover before installation.
4. Connect the pipe work using standard underground pipes and fittings.
5. Backfill in accordance with the standard detail drawing or specific Contract requirements.
6. To complete the installation, a manhole cover to suit loading requirements should be procured and positioned using brickwork to adjust levels.

Run-off from building roofs is collected into downpipes and � ows into a back inlet gully incorporating an internal � lter or catchpit inspection chambers. The back inlet gully or chamber discharges the � ltered stormwater into the permeable sub-base via Permavoid Rainwater Diffuser Unit encapsulated in a 2mm mesh fabric. The run-off will then diffuse out of the Permavoid Rainwater Diffuser Unit and into the modi� ed granular sub-base layer. The Permavoid unit is a 150mm deep modular interlocking plastic unit storage system designed for use as a combined drainage component and sub-base replacement system, ideal for shallow in� ltration/attenuation.
