Severn River Basin District preliminary flood risk assessments

Preliminary flood risk assessments by lead local flood authorities (councils) in the Severn River Basin District, identifying areas with significant flood risk.

▤ Verbatim text from source document

Lead local flood authorities must review their preliminary flood risk assessment every 6 years, under the Flood Risk Regulations 2009.

The assessment identifies any area at significant risk from local sources of flooding, for example surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses.

See a map of the river basin districts.

Part of the Severn River Basin District is in Wales. You can find information about flood risk management planning in Wales on the Natural Resources Wales website.
