Flood Risk Assessment

Level 1

In December 2007 Gloucestershire County Council, in partnership with its Local Authorities, commissioned Halcrow to produce a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) in accordance with Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS25). The purpose of the SFRA is to assess and map all forms of flood risk from groundwater, surface water, impounded water bodies, sewer, river and tidal sources, taking into account future climate change predictions, to allow the Councils to use this as an evidence base to locate future development primarily in low flood risk areas. The outputs from the SFRA will also help the Councils to prepare sustainable policies for the long-term management of flood risk.
