  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

• Kieran Wint (03 September 2024)

  The metadata in the 'risk of flooding from rivers and sea' dataset published on data.gov.uk by the Environment Agency states that the frequency with which the dataset is updated is quarterly. However, this quarterly update has been paused and further information can be found on the update guidance.
