- Flood risk screening statement PDF
- How it is prepared
- A named qualified reviewer covers mapped flood sources, constraints and likely planning implications.

- A screening statement, not a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment or planning approval.
Check the site, boundary and available coverage before payment. The stated delivery period is a target; any further information needed for your order will be identified during review.
The question it answers
“Is flood risk going to be a problem for this site — and do I need a full FRA?”
The Flood Risk Screening Statement is a concise professional statement of the mapped flood position for a site: every flood source, the planning constraints they trigger, and what that likely means for your application. It's the honest first step before committing to design work or a full Flood Risk Assessment.
Designed for decisions
Who it’s for
Architects & planning consultants
The flood position stated professionally, ready to reference in pre-application discussions.
Self-builders
Plain-English clarity on what the flood maps mean for a plot — and what the planning system will ask for.
Report contents
What’s inside
- 01
All mapped flood sources
Fluvial, tidal, surface water and reservoir positions for the site from Environment Agency mapping, with climate-change allowances where they apply.
- 02
Planning constraint analysis
Flood zone implications, sequential-test context and the vulnerability classification of your proposed use.
- 03
Likely planning implications
What the local planning authority is likely to require — including whether a site-specific FRA is needed, and what it would have to demonstrate.
- 04
A clear recommendation
Proceed, proceed with conditions, or think again — stated plainly by the reviewing specialist.
Evidence base
Built on published data
- EA Flood Map for Planning (rivers & sea)
- EA surface water & reservoir mapping
- EA NaFRA 2 with climate-change uplift
- National planning policy (NPPF) flood risk framework
Practical detail
Questions, answered
Is this an FRA?
No — it's the step before one. If your site and proposal need a site-specific FRA, the statement says so and defines what it must cover. Aegaea also prepares full FRAs as consultancy work.
Why not just look at the flood map myself?
The maps show extents; the statement interprets them — sequential test context, vulnerability classification, climate allowances and what the LPA will actually ask for, signed off by a flood risk specialist.
What do you need from me?
The site boundary (draw it on our map) and, ideally, a sentence on what you intend to build.
