Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)

In accordance with the NPPF, a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) has been produced for the Fylde Coast Authorities. This assesses the risk of flooding from all sources, both now and in the future, whilst accounting for the impacts of climate change, and to assess the impact the land use changes and development in the area will have on flood risk. 

If development cannot be sustainably located, a level 2 SFRA will be required.
