Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

West Northamptonshire Strategic Flood Risk

Assessment Level 1

Assessment Level 2 (Daventry and South Northamptonshire)

Assessment Level 2 (Northampton) - expected April 2010

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) has been carried out for the West Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit by Scott Wilson and is a background evidence-based document, which will inform the Local Development Framework.

The SFRA is a report, which includes a series of maps, which define areas of flooding within West Northamptonshire according to various levels of risk and the source of flooding. The SFRA is required by Central Government Guidance in PPS25 Development and Flood Risk (2006).

The Level 1 SFRA document is especially relevant to the Core Strategy because it will provide the information on the sequential approach to finding new land for development required by PPS25 and the associated sequential test. The Environment Agency have been closely involved in the preparation of the SFRA and they have stated that the SFRA meets with the requirements of PPS25 and is deemed to be a sound piece of evidence fit for use in the Local Development Framework.

The SFRA also identifies the functional floodplain, provides information on Sustainable Urban Drainage and Flood Defence Infrastructure.
