Flood Risk Assessment Commercial

Flood Risk - How does it affect you? 

At Betts Associates we classify flood risk as 2 separate categories, Commercial which includes development such as:
  • Multiple unit residential development
  • Retail
  • Industrial

 

and Homeowner, which includes developments such as:

  • Single unit residential development
  • Home extensions
  • Refurbishment (change of use)

 

This page discusses Commercial, for Homeowners please follow this link.


Climate change predictions show that flooding and coastal erosion are increasing in the future. Planning Authorities have to consult the Environment Agency when considering a planning application. Depending on the nature and location of the development the Environment Agency will advise on the requirement for a Flood Risk Assessment.

At Betts we can advise you if a Flood Risk Assessment should be included with your application, thus preventing an objection due to one not being included and to better advise you of the cost implications as early as possible.

As a developer, planning consultant or architect you want to ensure the land you are considering is suitable for use, lack of knowledge or bad advice can have costly implications.

Betts removes risk from the equation. Our flood risk assessment services give you everything you need to make a decision with confidence and complete peace of mind.

Our assessment process is continuously being updated in line with PPS25, TAN15 and SPP7 guidance, ensuring you can rely on us to deliver the very latest in flood risk advice.
