Flood risk

PPS 25 - Development and Flood Risk (2006) requires local planning authorities to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) to inform the preparation of the Local Development Framework (LDF).

Scott Wilson Ltd were jointly commissioned in July 2007 to undertake a SFRA for Wandsworth, Merton, Croydon and Sutton.  The Environment Agency were involved throughout the process.

Note: Since the production of the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, the River Wandle and Beverly Brook catchments have been remodelled. The Council is aware that the flood zone mapping has changed as a result of this process and clarification regarding the location of the flood zones should be sought from the Environment Agency.
