Flood Risk & Water Management
Changes in local and national planning policy, coupled with the effects of climate change, have increased scrutiny on flood risk and water management increasing the burden of design and assessment on all forms of development in the UK.
Our Water Management Team works with developers, landowners, local authorities, and other stakeholders to deliver sustainable and practical drainage and flood risk management solutions.
Our team’s expertise in Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and detailed understanding of flood risk allows us to support our clients through every stage of the development process, from land acquisition and masterplanning to full planning applications, detailed design and technical approvals.
