Flood Risk

Stockcode:

ACCON UK are able to provide detailed Flood Risk Assessments for residential or commercial developments of any scale, nationwide. The susceptibility of land to flooding is an increasingly important consideration in determining planning applications; the potential consequences for occupiers, either of the development or elsewhere, in terms of safety and financial risk can be serious. Importantly, where new development is proposed, the local planning authority (LPA) will defer to the Environment Agency (EA) for their advice as to the acceptability of new development. Therefore, the Flood Risk Assessment needs to be rigorous in its approach to pass the scrutiny of the EA.
Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) vary from simple exercises for small or less vulnerable developments to detailed studies for more vulnerable or larger developments, sometimes requiring quantitative approaches i.e. hydraulic modelling to determine the risk posed to the development.
ACCON offer various levels of detail suited to your requirements including:
Scoping Reports;
Full Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs);
Strategies for Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS);
Review of Flood Risk Assessments;
Strategic Flood Risk Assessments; and
Advice on planning applications in terms of flood risk.
