Community SuDSPods

Green Blue Urban SuDSPod installed at Boxford CEVC Primary School.

We have some exciting install’s coming up across Boxford and Friston. Green Blue Urban’s SuDSPod units are being installed on community buildings including a local pub, Village Hall, Scouts Hut and Bowls Club.

What are SuDSPods?

SuDS stands for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). These units are designed for on plot attenuation with the main aim of reducing local flood risk.

SuDs Pods are modular, nature-based units designed to manage rainfall where it lands, helping to reduce the flow rate and input to the drainage network, subsequently lessening the risk of flooding and pressure leading to Combined Sewer Overflow discharges (CSOs) which pollute our waterways.

With planting space, these units also provide biodiversity and loal amenity benefit. They filter rainwater before it enters our sewers which will help to improve water quality in our local area.

Surface water runoff should not be a problem but a resource that we can utilise to achieve a multitude of benefits.
