Independent Flood Risk Advice

Professional Services

You are an architect preparing a planning application for a small extension and doing as much of the supporting work yourself to keep the costs down. The Local Planning Authority have stated that a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) is needed. You've been quoted £100s, maybe £1,000s for an FRA. Given the proposal is so small, do you really need to spend so much money on a professional FRA report?

You are an architect or planning agent who feels fairly competent to produce a FRA report but you would value a conversation with a flood risk expert to put you on the right track. Perhaps you have obtained modelled flood data from the Environment Agency but this data seems really complicated. Perhaps the Environment Agency have sent you a link to download 100s GB of raw model data. We can obtain the data, including raw modelled data files, extract and present it with an explanation of what it means and how to use it.

You are a landowner or developer who is considering putting forward or buying a plot of land for development. You know there will be flood risk and drainage constraints. You want to consult with an expert to get insight and education in order to take the right steps.

We can explain exactly what it all means in a clear, understandable way - educate you so that you can make an informed decision.
