Our civil engineering team provide a comprehensive Flood Risk Assessment service in accordance with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Typically we will conduct initial investigations with the local Water Authority and the Environment Agency to determine the drainage principles and identify significant constraints to the drainage strategy. This enables a clear picture of how we can provide a surface water management strategy individually tailored to your site, and to the satisfaction of the requirements of the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) to achieve planning approval.

about us
Our civil engineering team provide bespoke services to suit every site regardless of the nature of a proposed development.
We operate in all the main sectors. Whatever the type of client we can provide a full service, or tailor our input to suit a specific design stage or service element.
The drainage and infrastructure aspects of a project are fundamental to its successful delivery.

Flood risk assessments
Our teams offer drainage expertise for your project from feasibility through to construction. In support of planning applications or simply due diligence, we can determine outline flood risk issues and prepare an initial drainage strategy to inform development proposals. This includes attenuation implications to identify budget allowance for the project as it moves forwards and solutions to include within the scheme masterplan. Adoptable drainage comes in many guises ranging from residential sewer networks and community attenuation ponds to simple indirect connections to existing networks. Ingleton Wood provide detailed drainage modelling and design to demonstrate the performance of the network to satisfy the technical criteria of your adoptable drainage. Equally we are adept at providing private drainage design compliant with all national standards including the Building Regulations and NHBC Technical Guidance.Where possible we will advise on the implementation of sustainable drainage measures where they will add value to the project by reducing below ground attenuation and maintenance implications through the whole life cycle of the project.

We will identify options for the implementation of sustainable drainage features and highlight where amenity and bio-diversity can be introduced. In addition, we will provide outline attenuation measures to support due diligence on the feasibility of your development, and guidance on finish floor levels to suit design flood water levels where applicable. Our service also includes the satisfaction of the sequential and exception tests where required by the NPPF, depending on the flood zone categorisation of your site (zone 1,2 or 3).

The overarching principles of SuDS design is that surface water runoff should be managed for maximum benefit . The benefits that can be achieved by SuDS will be influenced by the site.
Control the quantity of runoff to support flood risk management and maintain and protect the natural water cycle
Manage the quality of the runoff to prevent pollution
