Flood Risk Reports & Flood Screening
A concise, desk-based flood risk report for lower-risk sites, due diligence, mortgage and pre-application checks — a clear flood verdict without the cost of a full FRA. From £195.
Flood Risk Reports & Screening
Not every situation needs a full planning Flood Risk Assessment. A Flood Risk Report is a concise, desk-based screening of a site against every flood source — rivers and sea, surface water, groundwater, reservoirs and historic flooding — giving you a clear, evidenced verdict on flood risk.
It's ideal for early feasibility, land buying and due diligence, mortgage or insurance queries, and Flood Zone 1 sites where the LPA only needs a short flood risk statement. If the report shows a full FRA is required, the fee is credited against it — you never pay twice.
What's in a Flood Risk Report
- EA Flood Map for Planning zone
- Surface water (pluvial) risk
- Groundwater & historic flooding
- Reservoir & other sources
- Climate change context
- Plain-English risk verdict
- Pre-application / FZ1 statement
- Credited against a full FRA if needed
When a Flood Risk Report is enough
For lower-risk sites and early decisions, a screening report answers the question fast.
Buying land or property
Get an independent flood verdict before you commit — faster and cheaper than a full FRA, and enough for most due-diligence decisions.
Flood Zone 1 minor schemes
Some LPAs only ask for a short flood risk statement on small FZ1 sites. A screening report satisfies that without a full assessment.
Mortgage or insurance queries
A clear, independent report on a property's flood exposure for lenders, insurers or homeowners.
Feasibility & pre-application
Understand flood constraints early so you can design them out before spending on a full application.
