Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea - key summary information

PLEASE NOTE: This record has been retired. It has been superseded by: https://environment.data.gov.uk/dataset/dcbad548-ba75-4f32-bf22-306f9059343e These documents are designed to provide a simple, easy to refer to analysis of the numbers of people, property and extent of land within areas at risk of flooding taken from the risk of flooding from rivers and sea (RoFRS) products. We use them in Environment Agency publications and reports; and to answer queries. We use the Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea products and the National Receptor Dataset (NRD) 2023* to provide a breakdown of numbers and areas of land at risk of flooding within England, English Local Authorities, English MP Constituencies, Lead Local Flood Authorities and Environment Agency Partnership and Strategic Overview areas. There are 5 spreadsheets available which provide the following summary information: • Number of properties in areas at risk from flooding from rivers and sea • Number of people in areas at risk from flooding from rivers and sea • Number of deprived properties in areas at risk of flooding from rivers and sea • Change in number of properties in areas at risk of flooding from rivers and sea (since previous update) • Change in area of land at risk of flooding from rivers and sea (since previous update) Further explanations about the information presented in the spreadsheets such as flood likelihood category, property types and how numbers are calculated are presented in the first tab of each spreadsheet. *NRD2023 was developed by the Environment Agency, however it is based on Ordnance Survey data (OS Address Base Premium) and we do not have permission to release as Open Data.
