Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for Carlisle District has been updated. This replaces the Level 1 study carried out for the whole District in 2006. It also includes a Level 2 study undertaken for the areas of Caldewgate/Shaddongate, Rickergate, Denton Holme, Willowholme and Milbourne Street. This provides a more detailed assessment of the risk of flooding within these areas and the implications of further development on flooding levels. The revised SFRA will inform the Core Strategy and is compliant with current Planning Policy Statement PPS25: Development and Flood Risk.

The Carlisle SFRA (November 2011) is now available to purchase on DVD at a cost of £40.00 + £3.00pp.
