Flood Risk and Drainage
The Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) mandates that sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) be incorporated into all major developments unless there is clear evidence to the contrary. Our in-house team of technical experts is well-qualified to deliver SuDS solutions for your project, from the outline stage through to completion.
With a team of seasoned flood risk and drainage professionals—comprising qualified engineers and environmental consultants—we assess potential constraints and develop practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to your development needs.
Our structured guidance provides support through every stage of the master planning process. From an initial ‘first opinion’ constraints report to a detailed flood risk assessment backed by hydraulic modelling of river flows, we are here to help you navigate any flooding and drainage challenge.
