Conveyance
Conveyance refers to the natural or man-made channels and pathways that allow water to flow and be transported, particularly within drainage systems or during flood events. Speak with a consultant to review how conveyance routes are designed for your site. The GOV.UK flood risk and coastal change guidance sets out how conveyance is assessed within the planning process.
Case Example
In Oxford, planners use AEP to categorise land into different Flood Zones, which then dictates what can be built there. By knowing the AEP, they can decide exactly how much higher to build a flood wall or how much extra “soakaway” space a new development needs.
Ensure safe water flow. Rida Reports assesses conveyance routes within your Flood Risk Assessment.
