With flood risk from multiple sources becoming an ever-growing concern, planning authorities are placing greater emphasis on robust flood risk management—making a well-prepared Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) essential for gaining planning approval.
We focus on supporting clients to achieve planning success at the same time as designing in the best measures we can for sustainability and climate change resilience, with an excellent track record of providing solutions acceptable to the Environment Agency and Planning Authorities.
We provide clear, concise, and National Planning Policy Framework compliant Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) to help secure successful outcomes for your development.
We assess flood risk from all relevant sources — fluvial or tidal, surface water, groundwater, and reservoir—using latest data, maps and national policy guidance.
We regularly work with: architects, planning consultants, developers, contractors and builders.
We strongly recommend getting in touch with us as early as possible in your project. Early input on flood risk considerations allows us to guide your layout and design from the outset—helping you avoid costly redesigns and ensuring that mitigation measures are built in from the start. Let’s get it right the first time.
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures play a crucial role in managing flood risk and ensuring your development meets planning and sustainability goals. We design practical, site-specific solutions that help reduce flood risk and build long-term resilience into your project.
We take a proactive and policy-led approach, balancing environmental responsibility with build-ability and compliance. Wherever possible, we integrate mitigation strategies early in the design process to avoid costly delays and support smoother planning outcomes.
We can support your project with:
All recommendations consider specific characteristics of your proposed site layout and based on current planning policy, Environment Agency, DEFRA, and Lead Local Flood Authorities guidance.
Our goal is to help you achieve compliance without compromising on quality or creativity.
