Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 25: Development and Flood Risk requires local planning authorities to review the variation in flood risk across their district, and to steer vulnerable development (e.g. housing) towards areas of lowest risk. Where this cannot be achieved and development is to be permitted in areas that may be subject to some degree of flood risk, PPS25 requires the Council to demonstrate that there are sustainable mitigation solutions available that will ensure that the risk to property and life is minimised (throughout the lifetime of development) should flooding occur. The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) is the first step in this process, and it provides the building blocks upon which the Council's planning and development management decisions will be made.
