Flood-risk-assessment-journals

 A flood risk assessment (FRA) may be a document that reviews a development in its proposal form to assess it against the danger of flooding, whether that be from groundwater, river (fluvial), surface water (pluvial), estuary/coastal (tidal), or from sewer sources. It should also take the encompassing area into consideration and whether the event poses a flood risk to areas nearby.   It does this by using either 3rd party data sources, like the Environmental Agency modelling, or independent data sets generated by our team of experts. More likely, companies will use a mixture of both to urge a full overview of a site. Ambiental are unique in this we use our own Flowroute-I flood modelling software which you'll study here. An FRA is required under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and also the Environment Agency (EA) guidance on development and flood risk when a development is found swollen Zone 2 or 3, a Critical catchment area, or the location is larger than or adequate 1 hectare in size, for sites overflowing Zone 1. You’ll also need an FRA if your development is happening within 20 meters of an EA main river. EA activity permits are required if the proposal includes temporary and permeant works within 8m of a EA river and 16m of a tidal EA river.
