Greenfield Runoff Rate

The Greenfield Runoff Rate is the rate at which rainfall would runoff from an undeveloped, naturally permeable catchment. Review drainage modelling services to ensure your post-development discharge meets LLFA requirements. The national SuDS standards set out exactly how greenfield runoff rates must be calculated and applied.

Case Example

To prevent flooding neighbours, a new housing estate is usually restricted to the “Greenfield Rate,” meaning pipes cannot discharge water faster than the original field did.
