Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

On the 22nd 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.
            
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. It has not been possible to include these maps on the web-based version of the SFRA due to their file size, however these are available from the Council's Strategy and Plans Team (charges apply).
 
The SFRA will next be updated in Spring 2008.
