Flood Risk Assessments (FRA) are now a design and planning consideration for small and large scale developments. Flood planning policy is set out in \u201cThe Planning System and Flood Risk Management \u2013 Guidelines for Planning Authorities 2009\u201d. The policy aims to incorporate flood risk identification, assessment and management into the planning process thus avoiding unsuitable development in flood zones.<\/p>\n
Geoenvironmental Ltd are able to provide detailed Flood Risk Assessments for residential or commercial developments of any scale, nationwide. The susceptibility of land to flooding is an increasingly important consideration in determining planning applications; the potential consequences for occupiers, either of the development or elsewhere, in terms of property damage, safety and financial risk can be serious. Local Authorities require site specific flood risk assessments to be carried out where previous mapping carried out by other consultants or by the OPW has identified a potential flood risk. Flood Risk Assessment needs to be rigorous in its approach to pass the scrutiny of Local Authorities. Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) vary from simple exercises for small or less vulnerable developments to detailed studies for more vulnerable or larger developments, sometimes requiring quantitative approaches i.e. hydraulic modelling to determine the risk posed to the development.<\/p>\n
Geoenvironmental Ltd offer various levels of detail suited to your requirements Flood risk assessments (FRA) can vary in complexity and scale and be assessed using the following stages:<\/p>\n
