Local Development Framework

In July 2006, the consultants Jacobs were commissioned to develop a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for the Lake District National Park. It was carried out to:

  • collate all known sources of flooding
  • identify areas that have a low, medium and high probability of flooding
  • recommend appropriate land uses within flood affected areas
  • recommend possible flood mitigation solutions
