INTRODUCTION 1.1 In January 2006 Hambleton District Council issued its’ Stage 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) to support ‘Allocations’ in the Local Development Framework (LDF). The SFRA was prepared under Planning Policy Guidance Note 25: Development and Flood Risk (published in 2001), this was replaced in December 2006 by Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk. 1.2 The aim of PPS25 is to reinforce and strengthen planning policy in relation to flood risk and development, introduce a more strategic approach and ensure a partnership approach to decision making on planning applications and joined up thinking on flood risk management. 1.3 The aims of planning policy on development and flood risk are to ensure that flood risk is taken into account at all stages in the planning process to avoid inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding, and to direct development away from areas at highest risk. Where new development is, exceptionally, necessary in such areas, policy aims to make it safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere and where possible, reducing flood risk overall. 1.4 The PPS25 introduces the flood risk approach of; appraise, manage and reduce. The production of the SFRA supports appraising risk, by identifying land at risk and the degree of risk of flooding from river, sea and other sources in our area. 1.5 A PPS25 Development and Flood Risk practice guide was published in June 2008 to offer guidance on the implementation of PPS25. 1.6 This addendum SFRA document has been produced to supplement the January 2006 SFRA and should be read in conjunction with the January 2006 document. Its purpose is to provide new flood maps and update information where there have been changes since January 2006. The addendum document follows the same format of the 2006 SFRA. 1.7 The new information provided in the document includes: • Additional Flood Map o Sowerby • Revised Flood maps o Brompton o Great Ayton o Northallerton o Stokesley o Thirsk • Updated information o Brompton, Northallerton and Romanby Flood Alleviation Scheme o Thirsk Flood Alleviation Scheme o Use of flood maps 1.8 Use of flood Maps The flood map information is indicative rather than specific and users will have to consult with the Environment Agency if further information is required where appropriate.
