Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences is a spatial dataset that indicates where areas have reduced flood risk from rivers and sea due to the presence of flood defences. The dataset has been created to help initiate conversations about the impact our flood defences have on the risk of flooding from the rivers and sea,and as a prompt to find out more about the flood defences in a particular area of interest. It does not replace any local, more detailed information. NOTE: We have paused quarterly updates of this dataset. Please visit the “Pause to Updates of Flood Risk Maps” announcement on our support pages for further information. We will provide notifications on the Check Your Long-Term Flood Risk and Flood Map for Planning websites to indicate where we have new flood risk information.

Lineage

This data was created using the Modelling and Decision Support Framework (MDSF2). This data contains information from Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and Ordnance Survey. Some locations do not reflect other information we hold about flood risk. We are incorporating this local data into a national update of this product, and advise customers to contact local environment agency offices for the most up to date information until the national update is available.
