Surface Water Management Plan

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
