Don't flush away your project - Sequential Test Essentials
Learn about the NPPF's Sequential Test for flood risk management. In this webinar we explore the latest legislation and practical strategies for development planning.
Hydrology and hydrogeology
As a society, everything that we do revolves around water and the water environment. Our experts have deep knowledge and understanding of the potential intricacies and interrelationships within the water environment – especially in relation to ecology, land quality and drainage.
Sustainable solutions for the future
We know that every venture has its own distinct challenges and our initial approach to each project starts by understanding the unique sensitivity and functionality of the groundwater and surface water setting. Taking a collaborative approach, we design and deliver a comprehensive scope of works, based on the intelligent application of scientifically sound methodologies.
As regular contributors to multi-disciplinary projects our water scientists understand the requirements of design to reflect function, whilst keeping often unavoidable impacts to the water environment to an acceptable minimum. By using the intelligent enhancement of scheme design or the introduction of practical mitigation or compensation measure we are committed to providing workable solutions to complex issues.

Free Flood Risk and Planning CPD session for your business
Flooding can have a devastating impact on local areas which is why flood risk is highly scrutinised in planning applications. And as the impacts of climate change intensify, we're seeing an increasing number of flood related planning objections come to the fore.
But this doesn't have to be the case. A well carried out Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) addresses all of the risks that need to be considered, helping move planning forward in impacted areas.
We've put together a free, CPD session to give developers some much needed clarity around FRAs, when they are needed, and what they must demonstrate to meet local planning requirements. Our session covers:
- What is a Flood Risk Assessment?
- Applying Climate Change principles
- Mitigation requirements
- Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
- Benefits of early engagement
