Are you familiar with the complete set of design principles, development planning techniques and building materials required to demonstrate effective flood risk management and mitigation?
Do you feel confident in demonstrating compliance with PPS25 and convincing planning officers that your designs mitigate the risk of flooding?
If not, then you need to attend the
Architects’ Journal’s one-day conference on
Designing for Floodplains.
Traditionally, building on floodplains has been avoided. However, as flooding becomes an increasing occurrence and demand for new housing rises, developers and local authorities are increasingly assessing the viability of using floodplains for new housing developments. With the Government committing to a major housing drive up to 2020, developments on floodplains are set to increase dramatically.
Attend this conference to:
-
Examine key building design principles for floodplain developments
-
Determine how to develop masterplans that balance health and safety and aesthetics whilst optimising flood defence and water management
-
Compare the effectiveness and assess the appropriateness of different water resilient building materials
-
Evaluate key water storage and drainage principles and techniques
-
Understand how to demonstrate compliance with PPS25 to gain planning permission for flood plain developments
Who should attend?
This one-day conference is an excellent opportunity for all professionals involved in the planning and design of flood risk sites and developments.
