Local
Flood Risk Standing Advice
Standing Advice is a tool to help local planning authorities
(LPAs) establish the level of flood risk involved with planning
applications. It also helps LPAs to deal with low risk applications
without the need to consult the Environment Agency (EA)
directly.
Local Flood Risk Standing Advice (FRSA) has been developed for
this Authority to further refine the EA national standing advice
for flood risk matters. This Local FRSA should be used instead of
the national FRSA. This Local FRSA provides more locally specific
standard comments for particular types of development. This
will enable the LPA to deal with lower risk applications without
directly consulting the EA.
