    This dataset has now been retired and is superseded by a new dataset called: Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences. The Areas Benefiting from Defences dataset was assessed as no longer sufficiently meeting the needs of our customers and partners and was last updated on 02/11/2022.

    Reduction in Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea due to Defences is no longer being updated.

    We think that the presence of flood zones, along with existing and proposed flood defenses are sufficient in adressing the planning need of this consideration.
