Flood zones, the coast and protected nature
Flood zones
Part of Little Ridge Avenue is in Flood Zone 3 (rivers). That is the Environment Agency’s flood map for planning, which shows land that could flood from rivers or the sea, ignoring the benefits of any existing flood defences.
Locations in flood zone 3 have a high probability of flooding.
This means, in any year, land has:
- a 1% (1 in 100) or more chance of flooding from rivers
- a 0.5% (1 in 200) or more chance of flooding from the sea.
Flood zone 3 developments need a flood risk assessment as part of their planning application.
Protected nature
- Ancient woodland: Little Ridge Avenue’s line passes within about 100 m of 1 parcel on Natural England’s inventory.
