Planning applications for single dwelling alterations through to large commercial and residential developments generally require a flood risk assessment to accompany them by the local authorities. CDC provide flood risk assessments to support planning applications at a highly competitive cost of only £650+VAT.

In recent years the effects of global climate change on our environment have been increasingly recognised. This has introduced a more urgent need to assess the risk development in a given locality may have on flooding.

CDC provides a site specific analysis following the requirements set out by national, regional and local authorities to estimate the impact of flooding on a particular area. A detailed report is provided to supplement the planning application.

For larger or more complex sites, an extensive model may be required to define the flood plain to the satisfaction of the planning authorities and Environment Agency. Again, a comprehensive report provides all the information needed to support detailed planning applications. Site specific quotes will be provided where modelling of this nature is required.

CDC has staff with many years of experience in the field of flood risk assessments, and will be delighted to provide further information on request. Please feel free to contact us for advice on your project.
