9.12.2 The <strong>SuDS</strong> Management Plan<br />
A <strong>SuDS</strong> Management Plan is a document that<br />
describes the development, the place of<br />
<strong>SuDS</strong> in managing rainfall and can include<br />
landscape maintenance. It will describe the<br />
aspirations for the development and<br />
expected changes over time including any<br />
future expansion or redevelopment.<br />
The plan will provide a brief explanation of<br />
<strong>SuDS</strong>, how the <strong>SuDS</strong> infrastructure on the<br />
site operates and the benefits of retaining<br />
functionality of <strong>SuDS</strong>.<br />
Site management usually requires an element<br />
of regular site attendance, often monthly,<br />
which corresponds with most <strong>SuDS</strong><br />
maintenance. Occasional and potential<br />
remedial maintenance should also be covered<br />
by the plan.<br />
■■<br />
■■<br />
Regular maintenance – <strong>SuDS</strong> visits should<br />
be at a monthly frequency to match<br />
everyday site management visits.<br />
Occasional maintenance – covers tasks<br />
where the frequency cannot be predicted<br />
accurately or is infrequent.<br />
Detailed <strong>Design</strong><br />
<strong>SuDS</strong> management will be explained<br />
including anticipated changes over time.<br />
The management plan will include a Schedule<br />
of Work covering the following:<br />
■■<br />
Remedial maintenance – covers work that<br />
cannot be anticipated or is a result of<br />
design failure. Damage may include, for<br />
instance, rutting where unexpected<br />
vehicle access has occurred on wet<br />
■■<br />
■■<br />
maintenance tasks identifying frequency<br />
of undertaking<br />
waste management requirements<br />
(including EA exemption)<br />
ground. Replacement of items which have<br />
a defined lifespan, such as geocellular<br />
tanks should be covered here or<br />
provisions made elsewhere.<br />
140<br />
■■<br />
a pricing schedule for the maintenance<br />
contractor where appropriate with any<br />
specification notes required to explain<br />
technical details.<br />
<strong>Design</strong> Note:<br />
Information in the management plan should be conveyed in a manner that is understandable<br />
to Site Operatives. Use of technical terms and unnecessary information should be avoided.<br />
The Maintenance Schedule and key plan identifying locations of key features should not<br />
exceed a double sided A4 which can be laminated and retained in the operatives work van.<br />
