Flood Risk Assessment in Sheffield

FloodPlan were approached and commissioned by a repeat client to provide a Flood Risk Assessment for a proposed development in Devon. The site is located within Flood Zone 3.

The site is an existing industrial use property. The developer proposed the extension to the property. The site is located within an area at risk from fluvial (river) flooding and pluvial (surface water) sources.

Floodplan contacted the Environment Agency to obtain the latest hydraulic flood modelling data available. Floodplan assessed the the flood depths, velocities, hazard ratings as well as other considerations such as the speed of flooding onset. The fluvial flood modelling identified the site to be outside of the 1000y fluvial flood risk.

Floodplan identified suitable flood resistance and resilience measures to accompany the FRA.

The Flood Risk Assessment was submitted to the Planning Authority for review, and accepted. Planning Permission was granted.
