Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)
A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) is a study investigating the potential sources of flooding for a site and the mitigation measures required to ensure its safe development without increasing the flood risk elsewhere. Use our FRA cost guide to understand the investment involved. The full requirements for FRAs in the planning process are set out in the GOV.UK flood risk assessment for planning applications guidance.
Case Example
If you are adding a rear extension in a flood-prone area, the local council will demand an FRA to prove the new foundations won’t displace water and flood your neighbor’s garden.
