SuDS can have not only a flood risk benefit, but can also be of benefit to biodiversity. All SuDS schemes should be designed with this dual benefit in mind, to maximise the opportunities for wildlife within new developments. Guidance on designing SuDS to benefit wildlife has been produce by the RSPB and WWT1 and provides examples of how their potential can be maximised for people and wildlife.
