Hi Seamus, thanks for your comment. SuDS are a relatively new concept, and you’re right that the “S” part can be interpreted in different ways – not all of which are technically “green”. “SuDS” is still a young acronym, and perhaps in 10 years time we’ll all be talking about “Green SuDS” instead. The principles of biodiversity and amenity are important here, and we’ve made sure to stress that in our report.

We should adopt a different term for SUDs when we are meaning open water, bio-diversity and amenity to distinguish between an engineered tank which does fulfil planning obligations to control the outflow from a site. I have noticed the term “Green SUDS” being used to good effect
