Evidence

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.

Level 1 SFRA (2024)

• Fylde Coast Authorities Level 1 SFRA – main report
• Appendix A - GeoPDF User Guide
• Appendix B – Data Sources
• Appendix C – SFRA User Guide
• Appendix D – Flood Alerts and Warnings
• Appendix E – Flood Risk Summary
• Appendix F – Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA)
• Appendix G – Coastal Change Management Areas (CCMAs)
• Coastal Modelling Methodology Technical Note

The Level 1 SFRA is also accompanied by supporting GeoPDF maps. To utilise these, Adobe (Acrobat) software is required. It is recommended that users first determine the area of interest to establish which map to download.

A guidance note has been produced to assist applicants on the interpretation of functional floodplain.

For the avoidance of doubt, an interactive map has been produced which displays Flood Zone 3b only.
