Schedule 3 - compliant solutions for developers

As infiltration and buffering solutions that keep rainwater on site, reduce surface water and therefore run off, Hydrorock helps meet Schedule 3 – and many Local Authorities are now adopting Hydrorock as their go-to Schedule 3-compliant solution.

Not only is Hydrorock intrinsically sustainable as a product, with 100% recyclability at end of use, it offers nutrient neutrality on site by infiltrating water directly into the ground locally.

A further significant benefit is Hydrorock’s absolute configurability. This means not only that site design can be flexible, with unusual shapes easily accommodated and smaller units incorporated, but also that in-ground problems and obstacles can be resolved ‘on the fly’ with simple reconfiguration, minimal fuss and almost no delay.

Schedule 3

With Schedule 3 of  the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 now in force any new development must include high quality SuDS, and the automatic right to connect to public sewers for developer has been removed.

Sustainability is at the heart of SuDs so it’s vital that the solutions employed to deliver it are themselves sustainable.

Hydrorock is uniquely positioned to deliver this sustainability as an integral part of your surface water management and flood risk plans.

Hydrorock natural aquifer blocks maintain the natural water cycle, delivering effective, long lasting, Schedule 3-compliant solutions across a range of applications – from planters, to tree-pits, rain gardens to soak-aways, and permeable paving to irrigation – all fully integrated infiltration and attenuation systems with the capacity to provide solutions designs and projects with complex water management needs
