N2 - The use of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) or best management practice (BMP) is becoming increasingly common. However, rather than adopting the preferred "treatment train" implementation, many developments opt for end-of-pipe control ponds. This paper discusses the use of SuDS in series to form treatment trains and compares their potential performance and effectiveness with end-of-pipe solutions. Land use, site and catchment characteristics have been used alongside up-to-date guidance, Infoworks CS and the model for urban stormwater improvement conceptualisation to determine whole-lifecosts, land take, water quality and water quantity for different SuDS combinations. The results presented show that the use of a treatment train allows approaches differing from the traditional use of single SuDS, either source or "end-of-pipe", to be proposed to treat and attenuate runoff. This outcome provides a more flexible solution where the footprint allocated to SuDS, costs and water quality can be managed differently to more comprehensively meet stakeholder objectives.
