This includes an allowance for climate change in line with current best practice national planning guidance.

Flood level can generally be defined as the height reached by a body of water (such as a stream, river or other type of surface water) resulting from the overflow beyond its normal limits.

A high flood level is the maximum level to which a public body of water could rise due to rainwater and runoff during a flooding event. High flood level calculations take into account conservation or reclamation efforts supported by artificially constructed measures such as water storage tanks. High flood level information for a specific site can be used for planning purposes to help determine a design flood level.

A design flood level is defined in Home Quality Mark One, Technical Manual SD239, England, Scotland & Wales, published by BRE in 2018. It is described a historic or notional flood event of a given annual probability, against which the suitability of a proposed development is assessed and mitigation measures, if any, are designed. during the design storm event. This includes an allowance for climate change in line with current best practice national planning guidance.
