Charnwood Borough Council - Leading in Leicestershire

Charnwood Borough Council commissioned ENTEC to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment of the Borough. This study provides an assessment of the flood risk issues in the Borough as required by Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk.

The assessment, published in April 2008, will be used to inform Development Control decisions and the preparation of the Local Development Framework.

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment can be viewed using the links below.
