Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRAs) are an important part of the way Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) make decisions. This includes how to keep the risk of flooding to a minimum in new developments. This project investigated whether SFRAs are an effective tool for partners, such as LPAs and the Environment Agency, to work together to achieve the objectives of the planning process.
