We would suggest that the SPD could also be updated following the production of a revised SFRA. Section 7.3.4 of the SPD outlines the requirement for consideration of residual risk, specifically requiring temporary refuge above 0.1% annual probability flood level with climate change. Now the barrier is operational, if you choose to update your SFRA, you may wish to consider reviewing your refuge requirement. We are currently in the process of updating our River Gipping fluvial flood modelling which should be also considered.
