Challenge
Staffordshire County Council (SCC) in its capacity as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) provided a planning application response in January 2020. This was based upon review of the information submitted in the FRA and Drainage Strategy. The SCC response described 5 specific issues to address.
The primary requirement for this was to provide a more detailed analysis of the ordinary watercourse flood risk and implications.
Solution
Our analysis of the Featherstone Brook, along with the associated structures and floodplain, included the details from additional topographic survey and brook cross sections work. The additional assessment was completed without the need for any additional hydraulic modelling of the watercourse with the extra cost and time that this would have involved.
Each of the 5 issues was successfully addressed through a full written response by our team.
