PPS25 established that flood risk is a material planning consideration and that consent for development can be refused on grounds of flood risk alone.
It is essential, therefore, that flood risk is considered at due diligence stage as it can have a significant bearing on whether a site is developable and, if so, to what extent.
BWB is able to offer advice informally, through feasibility studies or full flood risk assessments as part of the due diligence process.
