A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) is a study carried out to assess the risk to an area from all sources of flooding, now and in the future, taking into account the impacts of climate change. The information and mapping it provides is used to inform decisions on what level and type of development is appropriate in different parts of the borough in light of flood risk, and is a key piece of evidence for the Local Plan and a material consideration in planning decisions.

AECOM was commissioned on behalf of ten planning authorities in South Hampshire - the 'Partnership for South Hampshire' (PfSH) - to prepare an updated Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) to replace the earlier 2016 SFRA.

The PfSH SHRA has been prepared in line with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), supporting Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and Environment Agency guidance 'How to prepare a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.'

The full outputs for all the PfSH Local Authorities are hosted on the PfSH website.

The outputs for Havant Borough are accessible below. The mapping is not currently available in interactive format.
