Surface Water Management Plan
Guildford Surface Water Management Plan and Ash Surface Water Study
To sustainably manage the risk of surface water causing floods, we carried out two projects:
- Guildford Surface Water Management Plan
- Ash Surface Water Study
We, along with Surrey County Council and the Environment Agency, commissioned Halcrow Group Ltd. to undertake both projects.
Our aims were to:
- identify schemes which will reduce flood risks in key places
- gather enough evidence to apply for the Government's Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FDGiA) scheme funding
- prepare an evidence base to help us target land drainage maintenance work effectively
- prepare a strategy for managing flood risks that can inform our development control process
