Whilst her practice works across a broad range of sectors, Sue is best known for her specialist expertise, enthusiasm, and advocacy around the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). Whilst Sue promotes a \u2018landscape-led\u2019 approach, this is fundamentally rooted in a collaborative and cross-professional approach to problem-solving and site design.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Session Title: SuDS \u2013 what is the future Policy? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sue will discuss the direction of travel of SuDS, how likely planning will develop in the future based on the general direction of government to include legislation and guidance including the model design codes and Biodiversity net gain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Bob Bray<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Founding Director, Robert Bray Associates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Bob is a Landscape Architect with a particular interest in Sustainable Drainage design that integrates the management of rainfall with the design of development.<\/p>\n<p>He was responsible for the design of the first developments in England to incorporate full SuDS management trains including \u2019source control\u2019 and an emphasis on the multiple benefits of SuDS.<\/p>\n<p>Bob has been a SuDS trainer for CIRIA since the early 2000s contributing to many guidance documents and providing Case Studies for Susdrain and other publications.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Bray Associates continue to innovate in the design of attractive and multifunctional landscapes including the Bridget Joyce Square award-winning scheme in White City and new schemes in town and country with SuDS at their heart.<\/p>\n<p>Bob was presented with a Susdrain Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020 \u2018awarded to an individual who has spent their career inspiring, informing and influencing the delivery and uptake of high-quality SuDS\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Session Title: Controlling the flow in SuDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SuDS mimics the way rainfall behaves in nature. In a temperate climate rain soaks into the soil before water begins to infiltrate into the ground or flow as runoff from the land.<\/p>\n<p>Water flows more quickly from development transporting pollution and large volumes of water downstream in an uncontrolled way causing flooding and the contamination of watercourses.<\/p>\n<p>SuDS slows the flow to match \u2019greenfield rates\u2019 of runoff in a series of storage features allowing treatment of pollution to happen along the \u2018management train\u2019 and in sub-catchment design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Paul Hargreaves<\/h3>\n<p>Paul has a broad range of experience from town centre enhancements to landfill remediation, but over the past 15 years he has focused on surface water management.<\/p>\n<p>During his career Paul has sat on several Institution of Civil Engineer panels in relation to water, one of which was set up in response to the summer 2007 floods in England, to influence the 2009 Flood and Water Management Bill.<\/p>\n<p>Paul has also contributed to various CIRIA guidance documents and co-authored the update to \u2018Designing for Exceedance\u2019 (CIRIA C738), and the recent update to the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges CD521 \u2018Hydraulic design of road edge surface water channels and outlets\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Session Title: Sidmouth Amphitheatre \u2013 A multi-purpose site <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Paul will take you on a quick tour around the current exceedance project being constructed in the seaside town of Sidmouth in Devon.<\/p>\n<p>This project aims to intercept the overland flow path generated by the 100-year storm along Station Road, and re-direct the runoff into the adjacent parkland.<\/p>\n<p>The parkland had historically hosted an international folk festival, and so the opportunity to create a piece of dual use infrastructure that would manage flooding, whilst also providing a performance space was born.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Robert Widd<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Arboricultural Officer, Milton Keynes Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bob is Arboricultural Officer at Milton Keynes Council, Vice Chair at the East Anglian Branch of the Arb Association, Chairman at the Arborist Society and Managing Director at Bob Widd Associates Ltd.\u00a0 With a diploma if forestry is highly regarded and endorsed by many within the industry.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Session Title: Using stormwater attenuation in urban regeneration schemes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bob highlights Milton Keynes master plan to redevelop and regenerate land in and around Bletchley town centre. A high-quality public realm to develop and increase pedestrian activity. The incorporation of 8 stormwater tree pits in this project has a minimum combined stormwater capacity of 19,511 litres. That\u2019s a staggering 2438 litres of attenuation per tree.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Request your free webinar refresher pack today!<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our free refresher packs include tea, coffee, snacks, marketing collateral &amp; more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Festival of Ideas: SuDS &#8211; Slowing the Flow Friday 11th June, 10AM BST The pressure on land for both new developments and in built-up areas is such that reducing the footprint of a SuDS scheme is a major factor in the design and delivery of SuDS.
