What are Planning Applications & Approvals?

Flood Risk Assessments
If your property is located in a flood risk area, a flood risk assessment (FRA) may be required as part of your planning application. At Plan My House, we provide clear, professional flood risk assessments to support your development and help you secure planning approval.
Whether you’re planning a house extension, new build, or development in a flood-sensitive location, we ensure your project meets local authority and Environment Agency requirements.
​
What is a Flood Risk Assessment?
A flood risk assessment is a report that evaluates the potential risk of flooding to your property and the impact your development may have on surrounding areas. It is often required by local councils when submitting a planning application, particularly in designated flood zones.
The assessment demonstrates that your project is safe, sustainable, and compliant with planning policies.
​
What’s Included?
Our flood risk assessment service typically includes:
-
Review of your site location and flood zone classification
-
Assessment of flood risks from rivers, surface water, and other sources
-
Analysis of existing and proposed site conditions
-
Recommendations to mitigate flood risk
-
Preparation of a compliant FRA report for planning submission
-
Coordination with your planning application
Why Do You Need a Flood Risk Assessment?
Without a suitable flood risk assessment, your planning application may be delayed or refused. Our reports are designed to meet all necessary requirements and support a smooth approval process.
​
We help you:
-
Meet local authority and Environment Agency requirements
-
Reduce the risk of planning delays or refusals
-
Demonstrate that your development is safe and sustainable
-
Strengthen your overall planning application
