SuDS in Action: Roadside Features Along Marylebone High Street

During a recent site visit to Nottingham Place, our civil engineering team noticed the fantastic roadside SuDS features installed along Marylebone High Street. These kerbside systems are an excellent demonstration of how Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) can manage surface water while also enhancing the urban environment.

These features show the many benefits SuDS can deliver:

• Runoff management – capturing and slowing rainwater before it enters the sewer network.

• Water quality improvement – filtering out pollutants and debris through soil and planting.

• Biodiversity gains – providing a habitat for pollinators and supporting urban wildlife.

• Visual enhancement – softening hard landscapes and creating more attractive streets.

Marylebone High Street provides a clear example of how SuDS can be integrated into public realm design to deliver sustainable drainage solutions that are both functional and visually appealing.

At SuDS Designs, our civil engineering team works with developers, local authorities, and contractors to deliver drainage strategies that meet planning requirements while adding value to the community. From SuDS Reports to Drainage Design and Flood Risk Assessments, we provide tailored, sustainable solutions for a wide range of projects.
