NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

Climate change predictions of rising global temperatures will be accompanied by sea level rise, an increase in overall winter precipitation and an increase in intensity and duration of extreme rainfal

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The most recent climate change predictions up to 2100 date from 2009 and have been estimated by the United Kingdom Climate Projections (UKCP 09). These predictions update and replace those of UKCIP 02

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

UKCP09 indicates an increased preponderance of hotter drier summers and warmer wetter winters, coupled with increased frequency of extreme weather occurrences such as heatwaves, dry spells, heavy rain

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

Whilst flood risk is generally expected to increase in response to climate change, there is uncertainty surrounding the flood risks that particular areas of Northern Ireland face both today and in the

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The key challenge for flood risk management is that the effect of these drivers (and more specifically changes in these) on the risk of flooding is not certain, with no clear evidence linking changes

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The most recent assessment of the potential local impacts of climate change is the Northern Ireland Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). This identifies, for different sectors such as agriculture, h
