Drainage
Pittilla Bell Consulting specialises in Drainage Management and Engineering solutions, offering expertise in flood risk assessment and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) implementation.
Flood Risk Management
In today's regulatory landscape, flood risk assessment is a critical component of any planning application. We provide comprehensive Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) aligned with the National Planning Policy Framework and Local Planning Authorities' Core Strategies.
​
Our approach addresses various sources of flooding, including river and coastal inundation, as well as surface water flooding from overland flows. We consider factors such as location, design, land use, and the anticipated impacts of climate change.
