Abstract

Sets out the Government's spatial planning policy on development and flood risk. Replaces the earlier version of PPS25 published in 2006. Tables D1 and D2 in Annex D have been revised to clarify the definition of functional floodplain, and to amend how the policy is applied to essential infrastructure, including water treatment works, emergency services facilities, installations requiring hazardous substances consent and wind turbines in flood risk areas.
