Understanding and assessing flood risk
What to include in your flood risk assessment
The FRA should be:
- appropriate to the scale, nature and location of the development
- proportionate to the degree of flood risk
It should contain the information set out in the site-specific flood risk assessment check-list1. Also refer to Flood risk assessments if you’re applying for planning permission2 for guidance on:
- how to request flood risk information from the Environment Agency
- how to prepare your FRA
- whether the Environment Agency has provided standing advice.
