Flood Risk Assessments for Caravan, Camping & Glamping Sites
Caravans, camping and glamping are highly vulnerable in flood-risk terms — we prepare the FRA and flood warning & evacuation plan the Environment Agency expects for park and touring sites.
FRAs for Caravan, Camping & Glamping Sites
The Environment Agency treats caravans, camping and glamping as 'highly vulnerable' development because occupants sleep at ground level and may not receive or act on flood warnings. That means an FRA is expected even where the flood risk seems modest — and in Flood Zone 3 a robust safety case and a flood warning & evacuation plan are essential.
We assess the site's flood risk, establish safe access and refuge, and prepare a flood warning and evacuation plan setting out triggers, responsibilities, and how occupants are moved to safety. Whether it's a touring site, static caravan park, campsite or glamping pods, we produce a report the EA and LPA will accept.

- Flood risk across all sources

When these sites need an FRA
Highly vulnerable uses face a higher bar, even in lower flood zones.
Highly vulnerable use
Caravans, camping and glamping are classed as highly vulnerable — an FRA is expected in Flood Zone 2 and 3, and often requested even in Flood Zone 1 near watercourses.
Flood warning & evacuation
In Flood Zone 3 a flood warning and evacuation plan is critical — the EA needs confidence occupants can be warned and moved to safety in time.
New or extended parks
New pitches, static bases, lodges or glamping pods, and changes to occupancy or season, typically trigger a fresh FRA.
Riverside & coastal sites
Many holiday sites sit beside rivers or the coast for the views — exactly where tidal and fluvial flood risk needs careful, evidenced assessment.
