Flood risk, SuDS and drainage

We can provide the following information to inform and supplement any flood risk/drainage assessment, regardless of the size or nature of the development:

• a review of surface water drainage constraints from national mapping
• a review of site-specific flood risk issues
• a summary of any historic flood incidents that have occurred on the site or within the related locality
• a review of flood related assets that are within the related locality
• a statement of any flood related issues you should consider further
• advice on the type and nature of surface water drainage that could be designed into the relevant development
• information about flood risk consenting that may be required for your proposed development
• a review of assessments and drainage strategies prior to formal submission

For minor developments, we charge £220. 

For major developments, we charge £495.

These costs are inclusive of VAT. Please be aware this cost is to cover the time taken to investigate the area in question and to prepare a full written response. Where no historic flooding information is available, or where there is no risk identified on the site, this charge will still apply.
