Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

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
