2.2 DEVELOPMENT AND FLOOD RISK<br />
The <strong>Risk</strong> Framework outlined in Scottish Planning Policy defines flood risk<br />
using the following three categories:<br />
1. Little or no risk – Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal<br />
flooding is less than 0.1% (1:1000)<br />
2. Low to medium risk – Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal<br />
flooding is in the range 0.1% - 0.5% (1:1000 – 1:200)<br />
3. Medium to high risk – Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal<br />
flooding is greater than 0.5% (1:200)<br />
According to the SEPA flood map the site is considered to be at little or no risk<br />
of flooding from rivers and/or sea. This is discussed in more detail in Section<br />
