This location is in flood zone 3
What flood zone 3 means
Land within flood zone 3 has a high probability of flooding from rivers and the sea.
You need to carry out a flood risk assessment (FRA) as part of the planning application for this development.

There could be a risk of flooding from surface water at this site.
You should check the surface water map on the check your long term flood risk service
When using this data the following considerations apply:
- surface water extents are suitable for use in planning
- surface water climate change scenarios may help to inform risk assessments, but the available data fall short of what is required to assess planned development
- surface water depth information should not be used for planning purposes
To find out about other factors that might affect the flood risk of this location, you should also check:
- surface water, groundwater and reservoir flood risk
- Huntingdonshire planning authority's strategic flood risk assessment (SFRA), which includes future flood risk

What the flood map shows
The flood zones in the map show the areas of land at risk of flooding. They:
- only show flood risk from rivers and the sea
- are based on present day flood risk, they do not show how it may change in future because of climate change
- ignore the effect any flood defences shown could have
Download the flood map for this location
The flood map is suitable for a local planning authority to use when checking a planning application to see if a development is:
- in flood zone 1, 2 or 3
- within 20 metres of a main river or a flood defence
- a water storage area (also likely to be flood zone 3b in the SFRA)

Decide what you need for your planning application
You should:
- contact Huntingdonshire local planning authority to check their planning requirements
- get an FRA, you'll normally need to pay a flood risk specialist to carry it out
Order flood risk data for rivers and the sea
The flood risk data usually includes:
- detailed flood data
- historic flood event data
- modelled flood levels and extents
- flood defence locations and attributes
We aim to email you the data within 20 working days or sooner if we can.
