1. Introduction 

Ambiental Environmental Assessment has been appointed by Heritage Estate Group LTD c/o Neil 

Squires  to  undertake  a  Surface Water  Drainage  Strategy  for  the  proposed  development  at  55 

Mountain Echo Avenue, London, E4 7JX. 

The existing site compromises of a residential building and a garage toward the south of the site. 

The  redline  application  boundary  area  is  approximately  1110m2  (0.111ha).  The  existing 

hardstanding  area  associated with  the  respective  buildings  and  adjacent  paths/driveway  totals 

approximately 160m2.  

 Figure 1: Site Location 

The development  is  for  the  construction of  a  block  of  flats  to  replace  an  existing  dwelling  and 

garage. 

Following development, the total hardstanding area of the site would increase to approximately 

640m2 (0.074ha).  

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate that the development proposal outlined above 

can be satisfactorily accommodated without worsening flood risk for the area and without placing 

the development itself at risk of flooding, as per National guidance provided within the National 

Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2018 the National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG), DEFRA’s 

National Standards for Sustainable Drainage and London Borough of Waltham Forest local policy 

relating to Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). 

 

Existing Drainage Infrastructure and Nearby Watercourses 

The nearest watercourse to the site is the William Grilling Reservoir and is located at approximately 600m to the west.  

Site

Reference: 5601_SWDS    Final v1.0 

 

The Thames Water sewer asset plan for  the wider site area  indicates that the site drains  into a public foul sewer located on Mount Echo Avenue. See map in Appendix 1.  

There are surface water sewers on Mountain Echo Drive and Mountain Echo Avenue, it is assumed there is an existing connection to the surface water sewer. There are no invert/depths indicated for the storm sewer in Mount Echo Avenue so levels of this drain may need confirmation prior to detailed design. See map in Appendix 1.  

A CCTV survey has been undertaken by the client (see appendix 4) but the surveyors were unable to locate access to the storm drainage system.  

Geology and Infiltration Potential 

The British Geological Survey (BGS) Geology of Britain Viewer indicates that the bedrock underlying 

the site is London Clay Formation - Clay, Silt And Sand. The superficial soil deposits in the wider area have not been recorded on the BGS viewer. 

Based on the BGS geology information infiltration is not considered to be feasible. 

Flood Zone and Vulnerability 

The EA’s Flood Map for Planning (Figure 2) demonstrates that the site would be located in Flood Zone  1  (Low  Risk).  According  to  the  NPPF  vulnerability  guidance,  the  proposed  residential development  would  be  classified  as  ‘More  Vulnerable’  and  is  not  required  to  implement  the Exception Test. 

  

Figure 2: EA Flood Map for Planning 

A review of the EA flood risk from surface water map (Figure 3) has demonstrated that the site is entirely located at ‘Low’ risk of surface water flooding.

2. SUDS Assessment 

In accordance with the SuDS management train approach, the use of various SuDS measures to reduce and control surface water flows have been considered in detail for the development.  

Paragraph 80 of the Planning Practice Guidance of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states  that: Generally,  the  aim  should  be  to  discharge  surface  run off  as  high up  the  following hierarchy of drainage options as reasonably practicable, see Table 2.  

The management of surface water has been considered in respect to the SuDS hierarchy (below) 

(as detailed in Building Regulations Part H and within the the CIRIA 753 ‘The SUDS Manual’, Section 

3.2.3): 

 

To achieve the reduction in site run off rates, the use of various SuDS have been considered for the 

development as follows:

Suitability of SuDS Components 

SuDS Component 

Description  Suitability 

Infiltrating SuDS Infiltration  can  contribute  to  reducing  runoff  rates  and  volumes  while  supporting baseflow  and  groundwater  recharge  processes.  The  suitability  and  infiltration  rate depends on the permeability of the surrounding soils. 

Permeable Pavement 

Pervious  surfaces  can  be  used  in  combination  with  aggregate  sub‐base  and/or geocellular/modular  storage  to  attenuate  and/or  infiltrate  runoff  from  surrounding surfaces  and  roofs.  Liners  can be used where  ground  conditions are not  suitable  for infiltration. 

 

Green Roofs 

Green  Roofs  provide  areas  of  visual  benefit,  ecological  value,  enhanced  building performance and the reduction of surface water runoff. They are generally more costly to install and maintain than conventional roofs but can provide many long‐term benefits and reduce the on‐site storage volumes. 

Rainwater Harvesting 

Rainwater Harvesting  is  the collection of  rainwater runoff  for use.  It can be collected form roofs or other impermeable area, stored, treated (where required) and then used as a supply of water for domestic, commercial and industrial properties. 

 

Swales 

Swales are designed to convey, treat and attenuate surface water runoff and provide aesthetic and biodiversity benefits. They can replace conventional pipework as a means of  conveying  runoff,  however  space  constraints  of  some  sites  can  make  it  difficult incorporating them into the design. 

Rills and Channels 

Rills and Channels keep runoff on the surface and convey runoff along the surface to downstream SuDS components. They can be incorporated into the design to provide a visually  appealing  method  of  conveyance,  they  also  provide  effectiveness  in  pre‐treatment removal of silts. 

Bioretention Systems 

Bioretention systems can reduce runoff rates and volumes and treat pollution through the use of  engineer  soils  and  vegetation.  They are particularly  effective  in  delivering interception, but can also be an attractive landscape feature whilst providing habitat and biodiversity. 

Retention Ponds and Wetlands  

Ponds and Wetlands are  features with a permanent pool of water  that provide both attenuation and treatment of surface water runoff. They enhance treatment processes and have great amenity and biodiversity benefits. Often a  flow control system at  the outfall controls the rates of discharge for a range of water levels during storm events. 

Detention Basins 

Detention  Basins  are  landscaped  depressions  that  are  usually  dry  except  during  and immediately following storm events, and can be used as a recreational or other amenity facility. They generally appropriate to manage high volumes of surface water from larger sites such as a neighbourhoods. 

Geocellular Systems 

Attenuation  storage  tanks  are  used  to  create  a  below‐ground  void  space  for  the temporary storage of surface water before  infiltration, controlled release or use. The inherent  flexibility  in  size  and  shape means  they  can  be  tailored  to  suit  the  specific characteristics and requirements of any site. 

 

Proprietary Treatment 

Systems 

Proprietary  treatment  systems  are  manufactured  products  that  remove  specific pollutants from surface water runoff. They are especially useful where site constraints preclude  the  use  of  other methods  and  can  be  useful  in  reducing  the maintenance requirements of downstream SuDS  

 

Filter Drains and Filter Strips 

Filter  drains  are  shallow  trenches  filled  with  stone,  gravel  that  cerate  temporary subsurface  storage  for  the  attenuation,  conveyance  and  filtration  of  surface  water runoff.  Filter  strips  are  uniformly  graded  and  gently  sloping  strips  of  grass  or  dense vegetation, designed  to  treat  runoff  from adjacent  impermeable areas by promoting sedimentation, filtration and infiltration. 

Table 2: Suitability of SuDS Components 

Page 8: Surface Water Drainage Strategy (SWDS) 5601

Reference: 5601_SWDS    Final v1.0 

 

It has been indicated in Table 3 above, that several SuDS components are deemed appropriate to 

be used in the following SuDS management train. 

SuDS components should be designed to accommodate and dispose of runoff from storms up to 

and including the 1:100 year +40% climate change event without flooding. 

Rainwater Harvesting 

Rainwater  harvesting  (RWH)  Systems  should  be  considered  for  rainwater  re‐use.  Rainwater 

harvesting can take various forms including simple water butts to utilise runoff for watering and 

irrigation,  to more complex pumped RWH systems  to be used  in grey water uses.  It  is  strongly 

recommended that rainwater harvesting is considered, however, the viability and suitability of an 

RWH system should be reviewed by a specialist to determine the suitability in context to the rest 

of the site proposals. For the purposes of attenuation and storage calculations, it is considered the 

harvesting devices are full at the time of the design rainfall event. 

Geocellular System 

Geocellular Systems are generally built by placing together (e.g. stacking) cuboid plastic structures 

with  very  high  void  ratios  (90‐95%).  The  formed  volume  is  then  surrounded  by  a  permeable 

geotextile and backfilled with the excavated soil to form the attenuation tank.  

Within the proposed SuDS scheme, the Geocellular tanks are used to provide the storage volume 

requirement and infiltrate runoff. They are to be located within the car parking area, however, the 

exact layout is to be determined at the detailed design stage. 

Permeable Paving 

Permeable  paving  is  proposed  in  many  new  external  hardstanding  areas  (within  the  redline 

boundary excluding bin store area to avoid the risk of contamination). The permeable paving will 

primarily be designed to be self‐draining  (to mimic an equivalent area of soft  landscaping). The 

paving could be formed by the following make up: 

Permeable surfacing as required  

Laying Course Material 

Geotextile filter  

Sub‐Base:  6‐20mm  clean  crushed  stone  (depths  as  required  to  withstand  loading 

requirements) 

Geotextile filter or impermeable membrane depending on infiltration rates 

For conservative purposes, should a site have steep topography, permeable paved areas should 

only be considered for runoff interception, treatment and conveyance to downstream SuDS.

3. Surface Water Drainage Strategy 

In order to mitigate flood risk posed by the proposed development, adequate control measures are required to be considered. This will ensure that surface water runoff is dealt with at source and the flood risk on/off site is not increased over the lifetime of the development. 

The  drainage  strategy  proposed  herein  uses  a  flow  control,  geocellular  crates  and  permeable pavement  to manage  surface water post‐development.  The permeable paving would  intercept, treat  and  convey  runoff  to  network  while  also  providing  attenuation  storage.  See  proposed preliminary drainage layout in Appendix 2.  

Following confirmation of site levels, infiltration tests and wider construction details, the drainage 

strategy proposed herein should be reassessed and amended as necessary. 

Runoff rates 

Greenfield and Brownfield runoff rates have been calculated using Micro Drainage Software and 

applying the  Institute of Hydrology Report 124 (Marshall and Bayliss, 1994), as recommended in 

the CIRIA 753  ‘The SUDS Manual’  for  calculating  the greenfield  runoff  rates.  See calculations  in 

Appendix 3. 

As  DEFRA  Report  ‘Rainfall  runoff  management  for  Developments’  recommends,  the  design principle is to limit the runoff for events of similar frequency of occurrence to the same peak rate of run as that which takes place from greenfield sites. However, there are two situations where the greenfield flow rate is not actually applied to define the limiting discharge rates: 

a) The limit of discharges based on QBAR that are less than 1 l/s/ha for permeable sites as this is seen as being an unreasonable requirement (producing very large storage volumes). QBAR is then set to 1 l/s/ha;  

b)  Small  sites would  require  impractically  small  controls  to  achieve  the  required  flow  rates where these are calculated to be less than 5 l/s. In this case a minimum flow of 1 l/s is used as a practical minimum for flow control devices without causing blockage risks.  

 A minimum flow control opening size of 50mm is provided in Sewers for Adoption 8. In this case a 1 l/s is used as a minimum flow corresponding to a 55mm Hydrobrake. These rates are to be agreed with the relevant planning authority. 

The existing runoff rates have also been calculated and summarised in Table 3 below. It can be seen that the proposal  is to  limit the runoff rates, to rates that will be  lower than the existing for all events up to and including 1 in 100 year +CC.

Climate Change 

The design lifetime of a residential site is typically 100 years and an allowance for climate change 

should be considered in accordance with published guidance within the NPPF. As such, the ‘upper 

end’  allowance  40%  climate  change  allowance  has  been  applied  to  the  drainage  and  storage 

calculations (Table 4).

Long Term Storage 

Long‐term storage is usually required to address the additional runoff caused by the development 

compared  to  the  volume  that  would  be  contributed  from  the  site  in  its  Greenfield  state.  The 

drainage  strategy proposed discharges  runoff  to  the  ground,  therefore no  long‐term  storage  is 

required. 

Urban Creep 

Urban  Creep  has  not  been  applied  to  this  site,  given  that  the  site  is  shared  between multiple 

occupants and external areas are common areas managed and maintained by the developer.  

Attenuation Storage 

Attenuation storage  is needed to  temporarily store water during periods when the runoff  rates 

from the development site exceed the allowable discharge rates from the site. 

Rainfall depths  for  the 1  in 100 years return period plus 40% of CC were produced using Micro 

Drainage software to estimate the largest volume and critical storm, for typical storm durations. 

The maximum allowable discharge rate into the surface water sewer is 1.00 l/s 

Based on the calculations in Appendix 3 a total of 32.5 m3 of water storage is required on site. The 

remaining 38m3 can be stored in 50m2, 0.8m deep, geocellular crate storage. At detailed design 

some  storage  could  be  located  under  the  permeable  car  park  area  if  required.  Final  storage 

locations and volumes can be provided at detailed design stage. Details of the location is shown in 

Appendix 2. 

Guidance  about  proper  use,  installation  and  maintenance  of  any  proprietary  system  must  be 

provided by the supplier and incorporated into the site proposals at detailed design stage. 

4. Design Exceedance 

In the event of drainage system failure under extreme rainfall events or blockage, flooding may occur within the site. In the event of the development’s drainage system failure, the runoff flow will be dictated by topography on site and flow paths.  

Design of external ground levels will need to be undertaken at detailed design stage.

Finished Floor Levels should be 150mm above surrounding finished ground levels where feasible.  

This  is  to mitigate  against  any  potential  surface water  flows, with external  ground  levels  to be 

designed to direct water to the main road areas and away from buildings and thresholds where 

feasible. See indicative flow routes on drawing in Appendix 2.  

5. Water Quality 

Adequate  treatment must be delivered to  the water  runoff  to  remove pollutants  through SuDS devices, which are able to provide pollution mitigation. Pollution Hazards and the SuDS Mitigation have been indexed in the CIRIA 753 ‘The SUDS Manual’.  

The Pollution Hazard Indices are summarized in Table  – Summary of Pollution Hazard Indices for different Land Use below (reference: Table 26.3.CIRIA SuDS Manual 2015).

Runoff from roof areas is considered to generally be uncontaminated.  However, to prevent any 

potential sediment from impacting on the storage structure, Sediments Traps should be provided 

on  the outlet  to  the  storage  structure  to prevent  sedimentation, with  rodding  access  provided 

either side for cleaning and maintenance. 

The contamination risk associated with the proposed development site  is considered to be very 

low, with sediment traps (for the roof runoff) and permeable paving deemed suitable to mitigate 

against the potential contamination risk prior to discharging runoff to the ground. 

6. Adoption and Maintenance 

All onsite SuDS and drainage systems will be privately maintained. A long‐term maintenance regime should be agreed with the site owners before adoption. In addition to a long‐term maintenance regime, it  is recommended that all drainage elements implemented on site should be inspected following  the  first  rainfall  event  post  construction  and monthly  for  the  first  quarter  following construction.

7. Conclusion 

This study has been undertaken in accordance with the principles set out in the NPPF and London 

Borough of Waltham Forest local policy SuDS guidance. Providing the development adheres to the 

conditions advised in this report, the said development proposals can be accommodated without 

increasing  flood  risk within  the  locality  in  accordance with  objectives  set within  the  NPPF  and 

published guidance. 

The existing site compromises of a residential building and a garage toward the south of the site. 

The  redline  application  boundary  area  is  approximately  1110m2  (0.111ha).  The  existing 

hardstanding  area  associated with  the  respective  buildings  and  adjacent  paths/driveway  totals 

approximately 160m2.  

The development is for the construction of a block of flats to replace an existing dwelling. Following 

development,  the  total  hardstanding  area  of  the  site  would  increase  to  approximately  640m2 

(0.074ha).  

There are no nearby watercourses to drain into. There are surface water sewers on Mountain Echo 

Drive and Mountain Echo Avenue, it is assumed there is an existing connection to the surface water 

sewer. There are no invert/depths indicated for the storm sewer in Mount Echo Avenue so levels 

of this drain may need confirmation prior to detailed design. 

The British Geological Survey (BGS) Geology of Britain Viewer indicates that the bedrock underlying 

the site is London Clay Formation - Clay, Silt And Sand. The superficial soil deposits in the wider area have not been recorded on the BGS viewer. Based on the BGS geology information, infiltration 

is not considered to be feasible. 

A review of the EA flood map for planning (Figure 2) has demonstrated that the site is located in Flood Zone 1 (Low Risk). The EA surface water flooding risk map indicates that the entire redline application boundary is at ‘Low’ risk of flooding. 

Based on the calculations in Appendix 3 a total of 32.5 m3 of water storage is required on site. The remaining 38m3 can be stored in 50m2, 0.8m deep, geocellular crate storage. At detailed design some  storage  could  be  located  under  the  permeable  car  park  area  if  required.  Final  storage locations and volumes can be provided at detailed design stage. Details of the location is shown in Appendix 2. 

The flow control for the system is provided through a Hydrobrake or similar vortex flow control device limiting the flows to the minimum practical peak runoff rate of 1l/s (utilising a 55mm orifice plate). 

In the event of drainage system failure, extreme rainfall events or blockage, flooding may occur within the site. In this event, it should be ensured water runoff would not impact on the proposed building or neighbouring properties. To mitigate against potential flooding, the building’s finished floor level should be raised 150mm above adjacent external ground levels, if feasible. 

The Treatment train of Permeable Paving and Proprietary Treatment Systems  ‐ Sediment Traps,  are suitable to offer acceptable contamination treatment to runoff prior to being discharged to the ground.

The proposals demonstrate that a significant reduction in runoff rates post development can be 

achieved via implementation of the development and therefore can provide a betterment both in 

respect to flood risk and surface water drainage at the site in accordance with NPPF, the London 

Borough of Waltham Forest local policy requirements.  

The findings and recommendations of this report are for the use of the client who commissioned 

the assessment, and no responsibility or liability can be accepted for the use of the report or its 

findings by any other person or for any other purpose.
