Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment was produced in partnership with several other Norfolk Local Authorities (Broadland, Broads Authority, Norwich, North Norfolk and South Norfolk). The report & maps below cover the administrative area of North Norfolk only. Please contact the relevant authorities for other District area reports and maps.

The SFRA did not map flood risk associated with all North Norfolk rivers and the Environment Agency flood risk maps should be referred to for details of flood risk in settlements not included within the SFRA.
