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.
We provide clear, concise, and planning-compliant Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) to help secure successful outcomes for your development. Every report is tailored to site-specific conditions and designed to support sustainable, future-proof planning decisions.
We assess all relevant flood risks—fluvial, surface water, groundwater, tidal, and reservoir—using up-to-date data and local policy guidance. Our recommendations are practical, achievable, and aligned with national planning policy frameworks.
We regularly work with: architects, planning consultants, developers and self builders.
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 buildability 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:
- Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) design
- Raised floor levels and threshold setting
- Sequential and Exception Test support
- Floodplain compensation calculations
- Surface water attenuation and flow control
- Exceedance route planning for overland flows
- Guidance on flood-resilient construction materials
All recommendations are tailored to the specific characteristics of your site 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.
