The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) is a planning tool that enables the Council to select and develop sites away from flood risk areas. The assessment has been prepared in partnership with the Environment Agency and in a (Climate Change)ordance with current best practice, Planning Policy Statement 25, Development and Flood Risk (PPS25).
The SFRA has been prepared as part of the Council’s emerging Local Development Framework process but also sets out the procedure to be followed when assessing new sites that fall within a flood risk area.
Please note that if a site falls within a flood risk area then a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) will still be required and the Environment Agency should be contacted for further advice.
