- Abstract
- The Flood Map for Planning (Rivers and Sea) includes several layers of information. This dataset covers Flood Zone 3.
It is our best estimate of the areas of land at risk of flooding, when the presence of flood defences are ignored and covers land with a 1 in 100 (1%) or greater chance of flooding each year from Rivers;
or with a 1 in 200 (0.5%) or greater chance of flooding each year from the Sea. This dataset is designed to support flood risk assessments in line with Planning Practice Guidance;
and raise awareness of the likelihood of flooding to encourage people living and working in areas prone to flooding to find out more and take appropriate action.
The information provided is largely based on modelled data and is therefore indicative rather than specific.
Locations may also be at risk from other sources of flooding, such as high groundwater levels, overland run off from heavy rain, or failure of infrastructure such as sewers and storm drains.
The information indicates the flood risk to areas of land and is not sufficiently detailed to show whether an individual property is at risk of flooding, therefore properties may not always face the same chance of flooding as the areas that surround them.
This is because we do not hold details about properties and their floor levels. Information on flood depth, speed or volume of flow is not included.
