Regional Flood Risk Appraisal (RFRA)
A Regional Flood Risk Appraisal (RFRA) is a high-level strategic document produced by regional planning bodies to assess broad flood risks across a region, ensuring that major growth and infrastructure are steered toward the safest locations. Speak with a consultant to understand how regional flood risk data applies to your site. The GOV.UK flood risk and coastal change guidance explains how RFRAs inform local planning policy.
Case Example
The London RFRA identifies areas of flood risk across all 33 boroughs and is used to inform the London Plan, guiding boroughs to direct development away from high-risk areas and apply appropriate mitigation where necessary.
