Flood Risk
The 200 year event flood risk area defines the most appropriate location for a new building on the site
 Project Introduction Context
Site Analysis
Offifice Proposal
   Opportunities and Constraints
• The River is a valuable natural asset that can provide amenity and a pleasant outlook for a new development and a network of riverside pedestrian and cycling routes to connect Craigforth North to the wider campus and beyond.
• The existing trees and natural landscape that make up a significant part of the site further enhance the potential amenity and qualities of the riverside site.
• The existing Car Park occupies a large part of the site area and can be incorporated
in the new development site plan whilst ensuring access and parking for Lomond View, an existing building also located on the north peninsular is maintained.
• The proposed building position is more than 200 meters away from Drip Bridge Village.
• The flood risk profile of a 200 year flood event establishes the most appropriate location for the building - this is almost entirely within the existing car park area.
• Building on the existing car park will reduce the amount of parking on the site and the introduction of a sustainable urban drainage system will bring improvements to the flooding issues in this area.
