Flood Risk Information and Developer Responsibility

Current information on fluvial and coastal flood plains, including information on flood defences, is available on the DfI Flood Maps NI Interactive Map Viewer. This information is regularly updated, as more detailed flood hazard and risk maps are prepared. The extent of flood plains may therefore change over time and developers are advised to consider the potential for flooding early in the process when formulating their proposals. The onus rests with the developer to identify and consider the potential flood risk to any proposed development, by consulting with DfI and making use of the Flood Maps NI.
