Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems: Themes of Public Perception—A Case Study

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript explores the public perceptions of a SuDS development in Southern Trondheim. These perceptions were ascertained from a series of interviews with local residents and site ‘users’ across a broad demographic. The collected data highlighted a general enjoyment of the area but with considerable negative feedback and areas for improvement. The manuscript cleanly presents these results and provides pragmatic suggestions for future improvements to the SuDS planning process in response to them. These findings have broader appeal than just the local municipality, with parallels in the case study across much of northern Europe. The manuscript is very nicely structured, with clear and accessible language, making it suitable for a non-specialist audience. The authors should feel proud of their contribution.

I would recommend acceptance of the manuscript in its current form after the usual typesetting checks to spelling and punctuation.
