What is the Flood Risk Assessment process?
A Flood Risk Assessment begins with our clients providing us with the information they hold on the current state, and the proposed plans, for the development site. We then liaise with the Environment Agency (EA) and the Local Planning Authorities (LPA) and assess their requirements with regards to the development and the current legislation. As work progresses, we often act as intermediates between the architects and the Development Control Engineers at the EA, passing on design solutions with regards to flooding. Finally, a draft report is submitted to both the clients and the EA and once agreed upon a final version is issued for the LPA.
