Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea
Summary
This record is for Approval for Access product AfA379. Previously known as NaFRA Spatial Flood Likelihood Category Grid (Internal). This is a national assessment of flood risk for England produced using local expertise. The dataset shows the chance of flooding from rivers and/or the sea, based on cells of 50m. Each cell is allocated one of four flood risk categories, taking into account flood defences and their condition. No more detailed resolution is provided. 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 website to indicate where we have new flood risk information.
