Our work now focuses on providing landowners, promoters and developers with technical solutions in the increasingly challenging legislative and planning environment. Our expertise has been integral to the successful delivery of thousands of homes across the country.

Flood Risk Assessments incorporating surface water drainage strategies are now integral to the planning process and to the establishment of a sound platform for subsequent detailed design. All too often, assessments merely comprise a box ticking exercise for the purposes of a planning submission with development drainage proposals considered as no more than an afterthought and incorporating generic general recommendations without any regard to the deliverability of a robust drainage solution paying due regard to specific site constraints.

This failure also compromises the maximising of land value and the efficient disposal of sites to the market.
