Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Seas (RoFRS) Property Flood Likelihood Category (archived data)

This dataset is now static. It is therefore no longer updated and is out of date.


This dataset is a product of a national assessment of flood risk for Wales produced using local expertise. This dataset is produced using [Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea] which shows the chance of flooding from rivers and/or the sea, based on cells of 50m. Each cell is allocated one of four flood risk categories, taking into account flood defences and their condition.


This dataset uses OS data to assign one of four flood risk categories to each property, based simply on the category allocated to the cell that the property is in. Individual addresses are not provided, but OS referencing is included to enable the data to be linked to address databases.

Lineage

This dataset is now static with no planned updates. Therefore the information contained within will be out of date.


This dataset is supplied on request under an open government licence.

- This dataset is indicative of the scale and distribution of the likelihood of flooding and therefore we advise that viewing at more detailed scales may not be appropriate.

- Because of the way they have been produced and the fact that they are indicative, the maps are not appropriate to act as the sole evidence for any specific planning or regulatory decision or assessment of risk in relation to flooding at any scale without further supporting studies or evidence.

- This data is not raw, factual or measured. It comprises of estimated or modelled results showing expected outcomes based on the data available to us.
