Flood Risk Assessments
We deliver flood risk assessments that unlock development potential for projects of all sizes - from single-plot extensions to major infrastructure. Our team evaluates risk from rivers, coastal, surface water, groundwater, and sewers against national and local planning policy.
Evidence that satisfies planners.
We assess flood risk for sites in Flood Zones 2/3, sites over 1 ha in Flood Zone 1, and developments near main rivers. We interpret NPPF Sequential and Exception Tests and translate policy into clear actions.
We keep delivery fast by assigning a dedicated technical lead and a supporting analyst from day one.
Four focused steps that deliver approvals.
-
Baseline risk review
We compile EA, SEPA, and local authority datasets and confirm planning triggers.
-
Site-specific analysis
We test flood pathways, constraints, and safe access/egress requirements.
-
Mitigation design
We propose finished floor levels, storage, and resilience measures that work.
-
Planning-ready report
We deliver a concise FRA with clear recommendations and evidence tables.
We bring depth without delay.
- We deliver within 5-10 working days.
- We align with NPPF policy and local guidance.
- We coordinate with drainage and highways teams in-house.
Tools we use
