Flood Risk Assessment

Flood risk assessment (FRA) is a critical component of site feasibility and planning. While some developments stall due to flood concerns, others secure consent through a proactive, evidence-based approach. WWA’s expertise in hydrology, drainage, and resilience planning helps clients assess viability early, minimising financial and planning risks.

Not all projects require a full assessment, and engaging with the local planning authority at the pre-application stage can clarify requirements before design work progresses. Where an FRA is necessary, we define its scope based on site-specific conditions and regulatory frameworks. As a multidisciplinary practice, we integrate flood mitigation measures seamlessly into the overall design—balancing compliance, sustainability, and project viability.
