River Health in Focus – Strengthen Water Quality Evidence

Rivers in the spotlight

With funds from pollution fines being reinvested into river health projects, expectations on new developments to protect water quality are rising. Planners increasingly ask for demonstrable treatment steps in drainage strategies, along with monitoring or maintenance commitments to ensure long‑term performance.

What evidence helps approvals

Clear SuDS treatment trains, source control measures, and site‑specific infiltration evidence strengthen planning cases. So do robust waste classification and handling plans during construction to prevent contaminated runoff.

How EnviroSolution can help

We support with infiltration testing for SuDS, and WAC Testing to manage soils appropriately. Pairing these services demonstrates end‑to‑end water stewardship from design through construction.
