Enter your site address and a few details. Our engine pulls every Environment Agency flood dataset for your site, draws the flood maps, runs the SuDS drainage calculations and writes the full professional report your planning application needs.
Flood Zones 2 & 3, surface water risk, historic flooding, reservoir extents and exceedance flow routes — every map drawn around your site with a red line boundary, ready for the council.
Rivers & sea, surface water, groundwater, sewers, reservoirs and artificial sources, with climate change allowances over the lifetime of your development — exactly what the checklist asks for.
Runoff rates, attenuation storage, discharge hierarchy, drainage schematic, water quality, exceedance routing and a maintenance schedule — sized from your roof and garden areas.
Full address, what you're building, and approximate roof / garden / paving areas. That's it — no technical knowledge needed.
Live Environment Agency data is fetched for your exact location, maps are drawn, drainage is calculated and the full report is written and quality-polished automatically.
Your free report is ready in minutes — review every page, map and calculation and download it immediately.
Extensions and alterations where the council's validation checklist asks for a flood risk assessment or drainage statement — the most common reason applications stall.
Single plots and small developments needing a full FRA with SuDS strategy, including sites in Flood Zone 1 over the local threshold or with surface water risk.
The report identifies your zone, applies PPG Table 2 compatibility, addresses the Sequential and Exception Tests and sets floor levels to Environment Agency standing advice.
Householder extensions, new dwellings and other minor/small-scale applications across England. The report assesses every flood source and includes the surface water drainage statement local authorities ask for. For large or complex schemes in high-risk zones requiring hydraulic modelling, a bespoke consultancy appointment may be more appropriate.
The Environment Agency's Flood Risk Assessment template (March 2025), the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance (including the site-specific FRA checklist and Table 2 vulnerability compatibility), Environment Agency standing advice on floor levels and resilience, the Non-Statutory Technical Standards for SuDS and the CIRIA SuDS Manual (C753).
Live from the Environment Agency's official open datasets at the moment your report is created: Flood Map for Planning (Flood Zones 2 & 3), Risk of Flooding from Surface Water, Historic Flood Map, Recorded Flood Outlines, reservoir flood extents, flood defences and statutory main rivers — plus flood warning coverage and ground levels. Every source and access date is listed inside the report.
The report identifies the zone, applies the correct vulnerability compatibility, addresses the Sequential and Exception Tests, and sets floor levels and resilience measures to Environment Agency standing advice.
