Flooding – a highly controversial topic following the flooding of 2007, and one to which the media has given a high profile in recent years. With extreme weather conditions and climate change, this issue can not be far from the mind of any developer, especially since the publication of PPS25, which requires developers to consider and control the impact of surface water runoff from any new site. An increased awareness is being demonstrated by house buyers, Insurance Companies and Mortgage Lenders, therefore it is important to address this, and get it right from the start. HEaDS are happy to assist with any necessary survey, compilation and production of Flood Risk Assessments to comply with the requirements of PPS25, and advise on solutions for both Residential and Commercial developments.

The above photos show how quickly water can flow from a site, following even a short duration, high-intensity storm. The site shown was under construction at the time and the new drainage system had not been installed.
