Alternative title(s)

NaFRA Postcode Flood Likelihood Category Database

Abstract

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA380. Previously known as NaFRA Postcode Flood Likelihood Category Database. The dataset is a product of a national assessment of flood risk for England produced using local expertise. It is produced using [Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea] which 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. This dataset uses OS address data and Royal Mail postcode data to show how many properties are in each of four flood risk categories in each postcode, based simply on the category allocated to the cell that each property is in.

Lineage

This data was created using the Modelling and Decision Support Framework (MDSF2). This data contains information from Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Ordnance Survey and Royal Mail. Some locations do not reflect other information we hold about flood risk. We are incorporating this local data into a national update of this product, and advise customers to contact local environment agency offices for the most up to date information until the national update is available.
