Peak Sub Region Level 1 Strategic Flood risk Assessment (September 2008)

This Stage 1 Strategic Flood risk Assessment (SFRA) has been produced in accordance with Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS25)

It was commissioned jointly by Peak District National Park Authority, Derbyshire Dales District Council, and High Peak Borough Council.

These three authorities make up the Peak Sub region as defined by the East Midlands Regional Plan 2006. The SFRA is split into three reports covering the areas for which each authority is the local planning authority.

The SFRA has been prepared to support the application of the sequential test (by the Councils) outlined in PPS25, and to provide information and advice in relation to land allocations and development control

The SFRA has assessed all forms of flood risk: fluvial (rivers), surface water, groundwater, sewers and impounded water bodies (reservoirs and canals) both now and in the future given the likely impacts of climate change. It includes maps of the flood risks. The strategic flood risk information is also presented as GIS layers and can be interrogated to gain the associated descriptive information.
