Every report is tailored to the client and the reason they need it. Our work is led by named, chartered specialists – meet the team behind your report.
Since 2014, Unda has completed more than 5,000 residential and commercial assessments, on developments from small extensions to large (100-unit-plus) mixed-use schemes.
Quality Reports
When you apply for planning permission, you need a high-quality, detailed assessment from experienced consultants to satisfy the Local Planning Authority and, in some cases, the Environment Agency. Quick, low-cost products are available, but in our experience they often fail to meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework and do not secure permission.
Our detailed, area- and sector-specific assessments give you the best chance of the planning outcome you need, on time. Our in-house team combines the latest flood modelling software with deep local knowledge and years of experience liaising with authorities to build robust reports that meet everyone’s requirements.
Who Our Reports Are For
We produce accurate, detailed reports, strategies and solutions for architects, planning consultants, developers, farmers and landowners, renewable energy professionals and private homebuyers. From a single-dwelling extension to a large mixed-use scheme, we match the depth of each assessment to what the project, the planners and, where relevant, the Environment Agency actually require.
That covers flood risk assessments for planning, homebuyer flood risk surveys, reports for insurance, BREEAM assessments and surface water drainage strategies. Whether you are a multinational or a private individual, we tailor our advice to your needs, and one of our consultancy team will create a bespoke assessment suited to your circumstances, timeframe and level of detail.
Why Do I Need a Flood Risk or Drainage Assessment?
