In Cambridgeshire County, England, Royal Haskoning constructed a residential development plan, called the Lamb Drove project, that showcases important sustainable water management techniques. Practical and innovative measures were demonstrated to implement Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) that brought environmental, ecological and social benefits to the community. By applying the SUDS and integrating water management into spatial planning and development, a large adaptation contribution has been made to the region.
The project has recently been commended by the RTPI Planning Awards 2006 and has been cited as a case study in the PPS25 Practice Guide.
