Development and Flood Risk: Guidance for the Construction Industry: C624 [75904]

  £130.00
This book sets out practical guidance in assessing flood risk as part of the development process. It describes the mechanisms and impacts of flooding, whether caused by rivers, the sea, estuaries, groundwater, overland flow, artificial drainage systems or infrastructure failure. The guidance recommends a tiered approach to flood risk assessment and provides a simple-to-use toolkit to help practitioners complete the assessments. It covers UK planning policy guidance for development and flood risk and is aimed at achieving a consistent approach to the implementation of that guidance, which in turn should allow developments to be planned and designed more efficiently. This guidance will be of value to developers, builders, designers and planners. The book also contains much useful background information for insurers, mortgage lenders, building owners and occupiers, and others involved in the development process.
