NRW Local Model Manager

The Flood Map for Planning (FMfP) supports Welsh Government planning policy on flood risk and is the starting point for consideration of flood risk in the planning system. It provides an indication to which land is at risk of flooding from rivers, the sea and surface water and small watercourses, taking account the impacts of climate change over the next 100 years. The FMfP is the key dataset to inform and guide decision making about future development. The ‘NRW Local Model Manager’ shows the location of NRW’s detailed, local flood models which can be requested via datadistribution@naturalresourceswales.gov.uk.
