After initial analysis Floodline Identified that the Environment Agency Indicative Flood Map for Planning was mis-representing the flood extents and risk to this prominent retail site.

As a consequence potential development options for the site were not being considered to underpin or enhance the institutional value of this asset.

Floodline, working in partnership with Environment Agency, re- modelled the hydraulic model to provide a more accurate understanding of flood risk to this area and provide an up to date model for the Environment Agency to use.

Benefits to all parties:

• Environment Agency have a more accurate flood map for planning

• Local Authority are able to review their site allocations documentation

• The Asset Value is Protected and Enhanced
