9.1 Objectives of Detailed Design

Detailed Design should develop and refine ■ meet the requirements for NPPF and

the agreed SuDS strategy from the Concept NSTS along with Local SuDS Standards

9.2 What Detailed Design should demonstrate

The SuDS Detailed Design considers in detail ■ proportionate analysis to confirm

Design Note :

Schemes invariably evolve and change from concept stage. The designer should therefore
confirm no material changes to drainage strategy from that agreed with LPA at the Concept
or Outline design stages. Any materials changes should be discussed and agreed with the
LPA prior to detailed design submission.
