To ensure the emerging Local Plan reflects current and future flood risk, the Council is updating its Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. The objectives of the SFRA update are:
- To review the latest flood risk policy, including implications for the council and developers
- To collate and analyse the latest information and data for flood risk from all sources
- To provide guidance and recommendation to the council for flood risk policy and future flood risk management decision making
- To provide supporting evidence to support the Council with the preparation of their Local Plan, allowing the application of the Sequential Test in the allocation of future development sites
- Provide guidance and information for developers preparing site specific flood risk assessments, including information on Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
The SFRA is presented in a 'hybrid report' which includes both Level 1 and Level 2 assessment. Due to the large size of the document, the SFRA Hybrid Report and appendices are provided as separate files for download, below. To locate a specific map, please refer to the Index Map.
