Introduction
A large proportion of Trafford is within a nationally recognised Critical Drainage Area. This means that significant areas are at a direct risk of flooding, whilst other areas have a vital role to play in preventing excess water run-off impacting those more critical areas. Each and every site has its role to play in addressing flood risk.
In an increasingly unpredictable and changing climate, it is imperative that sustainable urban drainageSuDS are a natural approach to managing drainage in and around properties and other developments. Sustainable drainage measures are ones which avoid adding to flood risks both at a development site and elsewhere in the catchment by replicating natural drainage processes.

- Hold back water run-off
- Prevent flooding
- Remove or reduce contaminants / pollutants from water on site
- Form an inherent part of an inspiring landscape or urban setting
- Provide habitat as part of the system

Combining planting with 'natural' drainage solutions
There can be an incredibly successful symbiosis between landscape, nature and sustainable drainage systems. Hence, it will be expected that landscape, nature and SuDs are the first design tools in achieving a successful drainage scheme.

Additional benefits that these can bring to wildlife as well as human-related benefits are also well documented. ‘Natural’ drainage solutions must be considered and incorporated wherever possible within sites.
These may include:
- Wetlands
- Planted attenuation basins and ponds
- Planted infiltration ponds
- Planted strips, trenches and swales
- Bioretention areas
- Rain gardens

These can include:

- Channels or rills
- Engineered soakaways, trenches or basins
- Geo-cellular storage systems
- Inlet, outlet and control systems
