Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)
A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) is an area-wide study, undertaken by one or more local authorities, to assess the risks that all sources of flooding pose to a Borough or district, both now and in the future. Access your council’s SFRA through our planning services to understand site-specific constraints. The role of the SFRA in planning is covered in the GOV.UK flood risk and coastal change guidance.
Case Example
Before buying land, investors check the local council’s SFRA. It will tell you which areas the council has already decided are too risky for future development.
Use council data correctly. Rida Reports translates SFRA into your FRA.
