The SFRA written report and maps provide an understanding of flood risk from rivers, surface water and all other sources and identify the extent and severity of flood risk across our planning area. This helps us to steer development away from areas where flood risk is considered greatest and to ensure that development is undertaken in a safe, cost effective and sustainable manner. The assessment was prepared for us by specialists, JBA Consulting, with input from the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and United Utilities. It is an important source of information for the Craven local plan and in the determination of planning applications.
