Flood Risk Assessment Reports London
Do you know if you’re in an area prone to the potential risk of flooding? Most of London is criss-crossed by underground rivers. Before you invest in a property or carry out any development plans or construction, you need to find out whether you’re at risk of flooding and/or water damage whenever there are unusual rainfall levels.
Why do I need a Flood Risk Assessment Report in London?
An independent flood risk assessment (FRA) is required in most cases to ensure that planning consent can be granted. This means that the report should be obtained from someone unconnected with the site proposed for development. That’s where employing a qualified professional is the best course of action, as if the report isn’t independent, it’s easy to challenge and use as an objection to the proposed works. Also, you are ultimately the person that benefits from the report – incorporating ways and means to guard against flooding in your building designs will ultimately save you a great deal of money.
Flood Risk Assessment Reports: what you need to know
As we’ve already said above, not all FRA reports are the same, so make sure you get what you need for your site. Public flood data is freely available, so beware of automated printouts that make claims such as:
- Being approved by the insurance industry – sounds reassuring, but there’s no such thing!
- Giving an advanced overview of the area – you’re only interested in your site, not the entire body of water that might cause a problem
- Beware of small print dodging responsibility – this is because it’s just a print out of public information!
