Flood Risk Activity Permit Applications

• Apply for a Flood Risk Activity permit 
• Required for all flood risk activities 
• Expert guidance through the process 
• Have everything in place to be able to follow the rules 
• Liaison service with the Environment Agency 
• Ensure that your application is completed efficiently 

This permit, which is issued by the Environment Agency, is required if you want to do work: 

• On or near a main river
• On or near a flood defence structure
• In a flood plain 
• On or near a sea defence 

There are several steps to applying for a Flood Risk Activities standard permit, all of which our environmental consultants can guide you through. They include: 

• Ensuring your business can follow the rules stated
• Filling in the application form and providing any supporting material
• Checking your activity against the generic risk assessment
• Checking if you can’t apply for a standard permit because your works are too close to a flood defence structure of an environmentally sensitive location
• Prepare an Environmental Management System that describes how you’ll manage any risk
