A composite flood risk polygon for a city, combining areas of potential surface water and river flooding. The dataset is a Policy Area relevant to the City Plan 2036 and Local Plan 2015, produced by the Government Digital Service. The last update date is unknown.
Use Cases
- Modeling flood hazard zones based on combined surface water and river flooding potential.
- Informing land-use policy and development restrictions based on the defined Policy Area.
- Assessing climate resilience for strategic planning, referencing policies like S15 and CS18.
Strengths
- Data is structured as a composite polygon, integrating two flood risk sources.
- Explicitly linked to formal city planning policies (City Plan 2036, Local Plan 2015).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
