Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) has been prepared for Newham in response to the guidance in Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk.

The SFRA provides a strategic framework for the consideration of flood risk when making planning decisions. It forms part of the LDF evidence base and inform development management decisions. It was published in June 2010.
