Flood Risk Areas / Flood Zones

Flood Risk Areas refer to the probability of flooding occurring on a site from sea and rivers. 
Inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk (whether existing or future). 

Flood zone 1 - land with a low probability of flooding from rivers or the sea
Flood zone 2 – land with a medium probability of flooding
Flood zones 3a & 3b – land with a high probability of flooding

Surface water flooding from rainfall events at differing intensities and frequencies is also a flood risk consideration. 
 
Where appropriate, applications should be supported by a site-specific flood risk assessment. These areas are:

  • Flood zone 1 – where the site is 1 hectare or greater in size
  • Flood zone 2
  • Flood zone 3a & 3b
  • Land identified in a strategic flood risk assessment as being at increased flood risk in future
  • Land that may be subject to other sources of flooding, where its development would introduce a more vulnerable use

Soil and groundwater contamination ground risk band III

This site has been rated as risk band III for soil and groundwater contamination.
Risk bands range from I to V, the higher the band the greater potential risk (read more about ground risk bands).

This rating is based on the following potential risks listed below:

Boreholes recorded on this site

Historic boreholes drilled at a site may act as a preferential pathway for rapid transport of contamination to groundwater.

Groundwater vulnerability medium

Based on the hydrology, geology and soil properties within a single square kilometre around the site, the vulnerability of groundwater to pollutants discharged at ground level is considered likely to be medium.

This area is not subject to tree preservation orders

Geotechnical ground risk band I

This site has been rated as risk band I for geotechnical hazards.
Risk bands range from I to V, the higher the band the greater potential risk (read more about risk bands).

This rating is based on the following potential risks listed below:

This is not a conservation area

This area has no listed buildings

There are no wildlife corridors on this site

This is not an air quality management area
