Flood Risk Assessment in Reservoir Inundation Areas
Where a Flood Risk Assessment accompanies proposals in a reservoir's inundation area, development will not be permitted in areas where fast flowing and/or deep inundation would place people at risk, assessed using the Defra matrix.
It should be noted that where FRA is undertaken to accompany proposals in the flood inundation area of a reservoir without condition assurance development will not be permitted in those areas where the FRA indicates a likelihood of fast flowing and/or deep inundation that would place people at risk. Depth and velocity will be assessed by DfI Rivers using the Defra matrix.
