Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)
Partnership of Norfolk District Councils
Introduction
Millard Consulting was commissioned by a partnership of local district councils in Norfolk to carry out a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) in accordance with the requirements of PPS 25. The Client partnership consisted of North Norfolk District Council, Broadland District Council, the Broads Authority, South Norfolk Council and Norwich City Council.
Scope
The study required river modelling of fluvial and tidally influenced rivers together with flood risk mapping of the entire area in order to identify the PPS 25 flood risk zones (Zone 3b functional floodplain, Zone 3a high risk, and Zone 2 medium risk). All the modelling and mapping included estimates of future climate change.
