Flood Risk Assessments in Kent

This legislation resulted in the statutory consultation of the Environment Agency over planning applications where flooding was identified to be a potential issue. This is not just in coastal locations, but also in areas of low lying land in the vicinity of streams and rivers, and land where groundwater levels are close to the surface and flooding occurs after heavy rain. In circumstances where the Environment Agency considers that there is a risk of flooding they may require a Flood Risk Assessment to accompany a planning application. We can provide these services.
