Udale-Clarke, H., Ramsbottom, D., Dyer, B., Wade, S., Segura Dominguez, S., Bain, V., Davison, M. and Surendran, S. (2005) Flood risk assessment guidance for new development - Phase 2 - Technical report 2. Technical Report. Defra / EA.

Abstract

This R&D project was carried out as part of the Joint Defra/Environment Agency (EA) R&D programme for Flood and Coastal Defence, under the theme of Risk Evaluation and Understanding Uncertainty.
Defra and the EA identified a need for a framework that would be based on a robust risk-based approach, to assist practitioners in undertaking appropriate assessments of flood risk for new development and also enable improved decision-making, by improving transparency.

Project FD2320 has developed such a framework by simplifying existing processes, guidance and tools and integrating these with the latest findings from research projects.

This report (Technical Report 2) provide full details of the framework, guidance and tools developed during this project. For an introduction to the framework, users are directed to Technical Report 1.
