Flood Risk Assessment and Sustainable Drainage Systems

Most types of developments outside of the Environment Agency Flood Zone 1 (low probability of flooding) or over 1ha in size will require a Flood Risk Assessment.

A Flood Risk Assessment looks at any potential sources of flooding that may impact upon the development, how best to mitigate against the flood risk, and how to prevent and reduce the impact downstream of the development.

EAS have considerable experience in providing Flood Risk Assessments to support planning applications and designing sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) that reduce the surface water runoff from a proposed development to meet the requirements of greenfield rates.

There’s a voice that keeps on calling me. Down the road, that’s where I’ll always be. Every stop I make, I make a new friend. Can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down, Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.
