Strategic flood risk assessments (Levels 1 and 2)
The level 1 strategic flood risk assessment (SFRA) assesses the risk of flooding from all sources to an area, now and in the future, taking account of the impacts of climate change, and to assess the impact that land use changes and development in the area will have on flood risk.
Where a level 1 assessment shows that land outside of flood risk areas cannot appropriately accommodate all the necessary development a level 2 SFRA is required.
The level 2 SFRA in Wyre is made up of several documents which can be viewed by clicking on the links below:
