There is widespread potential in Northern Ireland for localised flooding. Significant flood events have occurred in the recent past. A description of these and some major historical flood events is co

The main objectives of this statement are to: • seek to prevent inappropriate new development in areas known to be at risk of flooding, or that may increase the flood risk elsewhere; • ensure that the

A coastal flood plain is a generally flat area adjacent to the shoreline where water flows in time of flooding, attributed to the combination of high tide levels, surge, wave action and sea level rise

While there is a lower annual probability of flooding within coastal flood plains compared with river flood plains, the effect of rapid inundation by fast flowing sea water presents a greater risk to

Estuarine flooding can originate from a combination of both river and coastal sources. In such areas the policy will apply to the greatest flood risk, normally the higher flood level and greater area

An 'Undefended Area' is an area within the flood plain that is not protected by flood defences. This applies to the vast majority of fluvial and coastal flood plains. Undefended areas are at much high

As indicated in paragraph 6.20, infilling within the undefended coastal flood plain will be considered as an acceptable flood mitigation measure as the loss of storage area will have a negligible effe
