 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing experience using Urban Water. We had a project where the discharge of drainage conditions was in a logjam with the local planning authority. Previous consultants kept hitting a firm brick wall with the authority, which was causing huge delays to the programme.

We decided to bring in Urban Water as they had successfully navigated the drainage strategy on a local scheme. Best move we could have made!

They were highly professional and very responsive. The reports that they produced were very well received and ultimately led to the drainage conditions being fully discharged in a timely manner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We required at short notice a flood risk assessment (FRA) for a planning application. Urban Water delivered a FRA promptly, on time that past the Council's application validation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a groundwater assessment take?

Timelines depend on the scale of your site and the data available. Once you send us your brief, we will give you an exact turnaround time within 24 hours. We know planning deadlines are strict, and we deliver when we say we will.

Can I get assistance throughout the planning process?

Absolutely. We don’t just hand over a report and walk away; we provide ongoing advice throughout the entire process and are fully technically supported to answer any queries that arise. Our hydrogeological consultants design every report to explicitly meet the rigorous standards expected by UK planning departments, giving you the absolute highest chance of first-time approval. Where groundwater flooding is relevant, the findings can support your flood risk assessment.

What if you find high groundwater risks on my site?

Finding the risk early is the goal. If our modelling reveals high groundwater levels, we don’t just hand you a red flag—we provide actionable mitigation strategies that you and your architects can build directly into your design to keep the project moving. Where groundwater conditions constrain surface water drainage, the findings can inform your drainage strategy.
