Flood Risk and Water Management

Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment was completed by Atkins for Knowsley Council and Sefton Council. The main purpose of the SFRA is to provide a strategic overview of flood risk in Knowsley, focusing on future development; it does not provide a detailed risk of flooding for individual existing properties, and should not be used for this purpose. The report was completed in June 2009.

The appendices for the SFRA are available to download below.

Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment

Under the Flood Risk Regulations 2009, the Council has a duty to review local sources of potential flood risk in relation to surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses and to produce a Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) report.  The report was submitted to the Environment Agency at the end of June 2011 and approved in October 2011.       

According to the guidelines set by the Environment Agency / DEFRA, Knowsley does not have a nationally significant flood risk.

Queries relating to this report should be directed to the Council’s Highways Asset Management Team.
