A flood risk activity permit is the permission you need to carry out certain works near or in a river, stream, floodplain or flood defence.
Infrastructure projects often require a FRAP because they can involve building or altering roads, bridges, tunnels or utility pipelines. These works can disrupt the environment around them and therefore need to ensure activities carried out are safe, legal and do not increase the risk of flooding.
Knowing whether or not a project needs a FRAP and the steps to obtain one are not always clear, but the consequences can be severe. This whitepaper is the first of a series aiming to clarify some of the complex legislation around water permits and help give your project the best chance of success.
