Both non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> and permeable paving <\/a><\/span>can support the loading categories associated with access roads. The installation of both involves tasks such as ground excavation, preparing an appropriate sub base, and using suitable kerbing<\/a>. This means specifiers need to focus on the drainage strategy being implemented on the project when deciding which <\/span>paving<\/span> is<\/span> better for access roads.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If<\/span> the access road on a housing development <\/span>is<\/span> adopted, the Local Authority<\/a> (LA) plays a role in deciding how drainage will be implemented. The Flood Water Management Act<\/span> encourages county councils to adopt Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) for new developments and redevelopments. SuDS is focused on flood risk management by managing rainwater close to where it falls.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> and permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> handle surface water in very different ways. Water falling on a non-permeable surface flows unfiltered via road gullies. It is then channelled away into the drainage system.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, permeable paving <\/span>lets<\/span> water drain through into the sub base beneath at the point at which it falls<\/span> through <\/span>joint filling <\/span>material in paving joints.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> and permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> can be used on SuDS projects. However, permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> can often make the<\/span> requirements of SuDS <\/span>easier<\/span> to a<\/span>chieve<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why <\/span><\/b>is<\/span><\/b> permeable <\/span><\/b>paving<\/span><\/b> better suited for access roads where SuDS <\/span><\/b>is<\/span><\/b> required?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When compared to non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span>, the way permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> provides<\/span> drainage for access roads is better aligned with some of the key aims <\/span>of<\/span> SuDS, as the table below illustrates. This makes permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> better suited for access roads where SuDS is a requirement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim of SuDS <\/th>Permeable paving <\/th>Non-permeable paving <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Manage rainwater close to where it falls. <\/td>The water drains through the joints between the permeable paving where it falls on the access road. <\/td>Water flows off the surface of non-permeable paving and is transported away via drainage gullies and channels. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Store runoff and release it slowly \u2013 known as \u2018attenuation\u2019. <\/td>Water gently filters into the sub base before being slowly released. <\/td>Water is diverted away quickly into the drainage system. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Allow rainwater to soak into the ground through infiltration. <\/td>Water soaks into the ground through infiltration via the sub base. <\/td>Water goes into the drains to be stored on-site in attenuation tanks, ponds and basins. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Slowly transport water on the surface to reduce risks to drivers on access roads. <\/td>Water quickly drains through the joints in permeable paving, leaving slow moving water on the surface. <\/td>Non-permeable paving transports the water quickly across the surface of the access road into the drains. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Filter out pollutants. <\/td>Permeable paving breaks down organic pollutants through naturally occurring micro-organisms in the sub base. <\/td>Pollutants are carried in the surface water into the drainage system. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Allow sediments to settle. <\/td>The rate of infiltration is controlled to allow sediments to settle. <\/td>Sediments are carried into the drainage systems and can cause blockages if not maintained. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Why is the req<\/span><\/b>uirement for SuDS and permeable <\/span><\/b>paving<\/span><\/b> likely to increase?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the moment, developers have the right to connect new sites to existing drainage networks without restriction. The potential <\/span>upcoming<\/span> implementation of Schedule 3 <\/span>of the Flood Water Management Act <\/span>would impose <\/span>that <\/span>this connection could only happen if SuDS have been incorporated. Local authorities (Las) would be designated as SuDS Approval Bodies (SABs). They would be responsible for approving all SuDS on new developments and maintaining any SuDS that are adopted in the future.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding further pressure on the government, the CCC (Committee on Climate Change) gives this clear recommendation in their report<\/span>,<\/span> UK Housing Fit <\/span>for<\/span> the future<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe automatic right to connect new development to the existing sewerage network should be made conditional on national SuDS standards being met or by water company agreement.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If <\/span>Schedule 3 is fully adopted by the government, it\u2019s likely to increase the use of permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> on access roads. This is because SuDS will be required by LAs who will be the SuDS Approval Body.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wh<\/span><\/b>ich<\/span><\/b> local authority guidance can affect the choice between non-permeable or permeable <\/span><\/b>paving<\/span><\/b> for access roads?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Local authorities also have guidance documents in the form of Design Guides or Toolkits. These can affect the specification of non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> and permeable <\/span>paving<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The content of the guidance documents will differ based on <\/span>the <\/span>local area and the <\/span>LA’s<\/span> design strategy. However, one of the common themes is that products should be durable as well as easy to clean and maintain in the medium to long term.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roads with non-permeable paving require regular cleaning to maintain drainage efficiency.<\/span> Gullies will lose around 75% of their efficiency when the sediment level approaches the maximum before it blocks completely.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P<\/span>ermeable paving \u2013 with its ability to filter out pollutants and allow sediment to settle \u2013\u00a0 requires less maintenance. It will remain effective and not flood, even if it gets to a level of being 90% clogged.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> and permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> offer robust surfaces to access roads. Non-permeable <\/span>paving<\/span>, pending a specification check with the LA, can form part of an effective drainage system where budget is a concern. This is as long as regular cleaning and maintenance takes place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, even without maintenance for 15 years, permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> can still drain water effectively through <\/span>its<\/span> joints\u2014up to 400\u202fmm\/hour per m\u00b2, four times more than the volume that occurs in extreme storms. This gives extra peace of mind to LAs that the access roads with permeable <\/span>paving<\/span> will continue to play their part in the SuDS strategy in the long term.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
