Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

This Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) has been produced to assess flood risk at 16 sites allocated by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.

Kingston’s Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment provides technical information and guidance on proposed site allocations located in areas which are at risk of flooding, in order to show how they could be developed to meet the National Planning Policy Framework’s flood risk requirements.

The National Planning Policy Framework seeks to ensure development will be safe for its lifetime taking into account the vulnerability of its users and that it won’t increase flood risk elsewhere.

The Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment forms an important part of our new Local Plan evidence base and should be used to inform the design of the development and the preparation of site-specific flood risk assessments (FRAs) by developers.
