Using SuDS to reduce phosphorus in surface water runoff

This document provides good practice guidance on the use of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) for reduction of phosphorus in runoff from new developments. It sets out the necessary sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), deployed in ‘treatment trains’ to achieve phosphorus removal, particularly for sensitive receiving waters and nationally important nature conservation sites. It represents good practice surface water management through the use of SuDS and can be applied anywhere.
