Flood Risk Assessments

Welcome to Earth Environmental and Geotechnical, and a brief look at Flood Risk Assessments.

If you’re considering a new project, you want to be confident that it won’t be a washout, because of local sources of potential flooding –rivers, groundwater and storm surge – for example. But there’s more to consider. A Flood Risk Assessment also needs to look at how run-off rates from your development might affect other properties in the vicinity.

Flood Zone information is available from the Environment Agency, and Local Authorities. They are defined as Flood Zone 1 to Flood Zone 3 – graded according to the level of flood risk, and the size of the site.

So – a development site that lies within Flood Zone 3, and is more than 1 hectare in size, will need the most detailed flood risk assessment, to be a valid part of your planning proposal.

A Flood Risk Assessment from Earth Environmental and Geotechnical does not simply identify potential risk, we have the expertise and experience, to propose mitigating factors that can be incorporated into a development’s design – to minimize the risk of flooding, and its impact on nearby properties.

Earth Environmental and Geotechnical completes many such assessments for commercial, residential and industrial sites.

BASEMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT : BIA | Earth Environmental

If so then you’ll need to comply with building regulations and probably planning permission from your local authority and will probably need a Basement Impact Assessment. Basement conversions can add valuable space to your property or development, but ensuring the proposed basement development is appropriate is essential. Your development will need to ensure, not only your local planning department are happy with your proposal, but also Building Regulations, Environmental Health standards, and Utility Provider requirements are being met.

Coal Mining Risk Assessment

The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs.

Basement Impact Assessment

The basement impact assessment (BIA) takes care of the geological and hydro geological conditions of the area and other potential risks such as drainage, flooding, groundwater quality. A Basement impact assessment (BIA) will include phase 1 desk study to verify the site's history, explore hydro-geological and conditions and surface flood risk. Basement changes can add valuable space to your property, but always ensure that the proposed basement development is appropriate. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical provides a complete Basement Impact Assessments report (BIA) to support your planning application.
