1 Evaluating the benefits of SuDS Using CIRIA’s BeST July 2015 Elvetham Heath, Hampshire 1

2 Assessing benefits – why should we? Elvetham Heath, Hampshire 2

3 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org Should we value benefits?  Difficult to  Identify & link benefits to quantifiable outcomes  Value quantified benefits (reliance on transfers)  Aggregate (benefits, populations, time)  Uncertainty  Takes time and resources  Moral concerns 3 If we don’t, they are zero

4 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org We have challenges now and in the future Flooding – people and property Legislation and planning Water quality of urban watercourses Connecting with water (on the surface) Liveability – quality of life Support growth – population & economy 4

5 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org What is possible? How do we account for the benefits and should we? Provide amenity and recreation Improve water quality Limit flows entering system Use as a resource Improve health and wellbeing Provide education Increase property value Help manage air quality Improve thermal comfort Maximise network capacity Enhance quality of urban space Enhance biodiversity 5

6 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org How do we change? Sustainable Drainage Systems manages impacts from development on the quantity and quality of runoff, provides amenity and biodiversity as well as other potential benefits. 6

7 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org Stormwater management approaches to cope with different size storms in different ways can create a range of benefits 7

8 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org Evaluating the benefits unlocks the potential for…  Fairer comparisons  Better decision making  Meeting funding requirements  Enabling conversations  Delivering SuDS 8

9 Some tools exist but….. 9

10 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org Overall aim of BeST “The overall aim of this proposal is to collate and evaluate potential methodologies for assessing the benefits of SuDS, develop approaches accepted by relevant stakeholders and using available data develop a tool to estimate the multiple benefits of SuDS”.

11 www.ciria.org | www.susdrain.org Thanks to our funders 11

12 Introducing: W045 BeST Elvetham Heath, Hampshire 12

13 BeST: Benefits of SuDS Tool Collation of evidence (values) Structured assessment approach Considers confidence Support practitioners to qualify and quantify (monetise) benefits Compare drainage options Provision of detailed audit trail 13

14 Wide range of benefits Environmental Supporting Provisioning Cultural Benefit categoryMonetised?
