How much does a Flood Risk Assessment cost?

What should I look for when choosing a Flood Risk consultant?
Select a provider with significant experience in the field, ideally with dual experience in both private consultancy and regulating authority (such as an assessment officer for the Local Authority or Environment Agency). This will ensure they have both the right technical skillset and the understanding of what the regulators are looking to see in your Flood Risk Assessment.
At Flood for Planning Ltd, our team has extensive experience as both consultants on private sector civils projects and as local authority planning assessors. Take advantage of our dual blend experience and choose us as your trusted partner for Flood Risk Assessments. You can read more about us and what our clients have to say here.
Can I do a Flood Risk Assessment myself?
With the granting of your planning permission at stake, it is not advisable to undertake your own flood risk assessment. National and Local Policy is a complex field to navigate, and the safety of your proposal during a flood event depends on the quality of assessment undertaken.
Instruct an experienced professional who can not only write your Flood Risk Assessment, but also handle any detailed technical questions from the Planning Authority, Environment Agency or Lead Local Flood Authority. This will take the stress and worry out of the process and leave you to focus on the important preparations to begin construction of your project.
