SUDS

In recognition  of the need  to more  effectively manage surface water run– off, the environment  agency introduced a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) approach, to water management. Pebbo Paving resin bound  paving helps meet the requirements of SUDS, providing  a fully permeable  surface which prevents  the formation  of standing water  by facilitating  rapid drainage.

Planning  authorities  are increasingly expecting that planning  applications  will demonstrate  how a more  sustainable  approach to drainage has been incorporated into development proposals. They may also use planning conditions  to secure  the implementation of SUDS, some authorities having used  specific supplementary Planning guidance.

Specifying Pebbo Paving, resin bound paving in any  planning application  ensures that the proposal demonstrates  the implementation of a more sustainable  drainage system– whilst at the same time delivering  an attractive, durable, and low maintenance  surface
