Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

In November 2007, the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for the Royal Borough was approved by the Council's Cabinet for development control purposes, and to inform the Local Development Framework. The SFRA brings together recommendations for drainage, emergency planning and development control and sets out recommendations for the development of policy within the Local Development Framework. This has been updated and the 2007 document has now been superseded by a revised level 1 SFRA, published in May 2009.

The SFRA includes a series of maps which define areas of flooding according to risk and indicate the Borough's historic flooding, watercourses and topography. A flood hazard map is also included which measures depth and velocity of flooding across the Borough (see downloads below). It has not been possible to include specific location maps on the web-based version of the SFRA due to their file size, however these areas can be identified in Figure A (see download below) and are available from the Council's Strategy and Plans Team (charges apply - please see the Planning Policy Publications List).
