In the UK, land is scarce and with the government's plans to build three million new homes by 2020 increasingly developers and local authorities are assessing the viability of  building on flood risk sites. Can you confidently demonstrate compliance with the latest Planning and Policy Statement 25 (PPS25) requirements? Are you fully aware of new planning and design strategies to mitigate flood risk?

Building Design's Flooding: Planning. Policy. Design conference will bring together local authorities, architects, planners, developers and many more  to address key questions and find solutions to the industry's most pressing challenges when planning and designing in flood risk areas.  

At our unique pre-conference workshop PPS25 and the new Practice Guide you will gain a solid and practical understanding of the key policy and building regulations that will inform your planning and designs.
