FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENTS
If you are developing a site or applying for planninging permission then you will need to do a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) for all developments (including minor development and changes of use) proposed that falls within the below categories:
-
in flood zones 2, 3 or 3b
-
within flood zone 1 with a site area of 1 hectare or more
-
in areas with critical drainage problems
-
within flood zone 1 where the LPA’s strategic flood risk assessment (SFRA) shows it will be at increased risk of flooding during its lifetime
-
that increases the vulnerability classification and may be subject to sources of flooding other than rivers or sea.

We have produced hundreds of flood risk assessments for developments ranging from extensions for existing properties up to master planning multi scheme developments all across the country.
When considering the Flood risk to a site then risks from all different sources will be investigated along with the suggested flood mitigation measures that will be required dependant on the risk associated with the proposed use of the site.
