Frequently Asked Questions

Who can carry out a professional flood risk assessment?

Only qualified and experienced civil or environmental engineers with flood modelling expertise can perform accurate and compliant flood risk assessments.

Do you offer post-assessment support during the planning review process?

Yes. Courous provides comprehensive post-assessment assistance, including addressing planning authority queries, supplying additional technical details, and revising reports when required.

What role does SuDS play in flood risk mitigation?

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) help decrease surface water runoff and enhance infiltration. We incorporate SuDS techniques like permeable paving, soakaways, and attenuation tanks into our reports to comply with planning and environmental standards.

How long does it take to complete a flood risk assessment?

Typically, a flood risk assessment takes between 3 and 10 working days, depending on site complexity and the level of detail required.

Why is a flood risk assessment important for planning approval?

Local planning authorities mandate flood risk assessments to confirm that developments will be safe from flooding and will not raise flood risks for the site or nearby areas. Conducting a professional assessment shows adherence to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Environment Agency standards.
