Flood Risk Assessments

A Flood Risk Assessment is required for all planning applications for major developments proposed in areas determined as a flood risk location.

Peak Associates are fully qualified and have a wide range of experience in the production of detailed, site specific flood risk assessments for all types of developments in accordance with the requirements of Planning Policy PPS25 'Development and Flood Risk'.  Our staff can also provide recommendations and advice regarding mitigation works that may be required as a result of this assessment.

All risk assessments completed by Peak Associates are fully tailored to the unique requirements of each site and can be completed for all sizes of developments from small-scale residential developments or commercial expansions to new large commercial properties.

  Surface Water Drainage Studies

Several water companies charge their commercial customers for surface water and highway drainage disposal on a site area basis. This often leads to unnecessary costs being incurred by clients.

At Peak we can check whether you are currently being charged the correct amount for your site. We have uncovered errors in the site plans used by the water companies for charging purposes, the solution of which has lead to savings at some sites thousands of pounds per year.

Our expertise in the field of drainage systems can also be utilised to devise alternative solutions for the disposal of surface water which can ultimately lead to huge cost savings. Reviews are completed by our own specialist staff and our recommendations are tailored to your individual circumstances.
