What are the chances?
One in six UK properties is estimated to be at elevated risk of flooding, yet very few owners or occupiers understand their exposure. I help property managers and investors understand when flooding issues are critical and should be addressed, whether as part of a transaction or ongoing management.
Flood risk can be one of the most contentious elements of the planning process. I have prepared numerous Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) across the UK for all types of development from residential schemes to critical infrastructure. I have also reviewed planning applications in two separate roles at the Environment Agency.
