The overall character of the <strong>SuDS</strong> landscape<br />
and surrounding areas will have been<br />
considered during Concept and Outline<br />
<strong>Design</strong> stages.<br />
<strong>Design</strong> detailing of <strong>SuDS</strong> components,<br />
particularly inlets, outlets, control structures,<br />
channels and basins with their edges and<br />
profiles remain to be confirmed during Detail<br />
<strong>Design</strong> Stage.<br />
9.8.5 The integration of amenity<br />
and <strong>SuDS</strong><br />
109<br />
Early <strong>SuDS</strong> design in Britain tended to create<br />
dedicated <strong>SuDS</strong> corridors with a series of<br />
basins, swales and wetlands that were<br />
separate from the development they served.<br />
In many cases wetland features would be<br />
fenced. They were therefore thought to be<br />
land hungry, expensive and required<br />
additional site maintenance.<br />
In order to maximize the value of <strong>SuDS</strong> it is<br />
important to understand the principle of<br />
integrated <strong>SuDS</strong> design. <strong>SuDS</strong> design should<br />
integrate the requirements of rainfall<br />
management with the use of development by<br />
people.<br />
