Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)

Planning Policy Statement 25 “Development and Flood Risk” sets out Government policy on how developers, planning authorities and the Environment Agency should consider flood risk in new development.

Its overall aim is to reduce the risks to people and property from flooding. When drawing up plans or considering applications for development, we need to try to direct development to sites at lower risk of flooding.

One way of doing this is to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). The Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) commissioned a joint SFRA for the whole sub-region.

You will find the results of this study in a series of maps which can be seen on the PUSH SFRA web site .
