nod Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 We have just heard from planners today They have finally accepted that we are in flood zone 1 and don’t require a sequential report and are ready to pass for full planning Just a couple of small things ? Some route protection and a site overlay on the flood map Which is already supplied But the want the flood expert to confirm that it is correct Talk about dragging things out Big relief 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Some insurance companies don't accept properties within a certain distance of the flood forecast, regardless of the height above. Shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
