Introduction 1.2 It is best practice for the Main Issues Report (MIR) and the preparation of the Local Development Plan (LDP) to be informed, and supported, by a strategic overview of flood risk management issues, in the form of a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). 1.3 The SFRA allows local authorities to consider flood risk early on in the development plan process. It should also provide a strategic overview of flood risk in the LDP area, and support officers in the identification of the areas most suitable for development. It can also be used to identify sites that should not be used for development but are more suited to sustainable flood management. 1.4 The assessment of land for flood risk that we have undertaken has been considered at both the strategic level as well as the local level. The SFRA includes information gained from SEPA as well as Aberdeenshire Councils Flood and Coast Protection Team at the time of the preparation of the assessment. Also included in the SFRA is an analysis of planning policies from national, strategic and local policies and how the council complies with these policies. 2. Aims and Objectives 2.1 The main aim of the assessment is to provide information so as to avoid increasing overall flood risk by avoiding locating development in areas which are at risk of flooding through careful consideration of all types of flooding, including costal/tidal, pluvial and river based. 2.2 The main objectives of the SFRA are to: • Ensure development does not take place in areas of flood risk or contribute to flooding elsewhere; • Provide the baseline on flooding issues for the Environmental Report; • Identify the flood risk areas based on the risk framework presented in the Scottish Planning Policy (SPP); and • Provide an evidence-based report to inform the LDP. • Develop policies for flood risk management. 2.3 The key role of the SFRA is to identify if the potential development sites within the MIR are suitable for allocation as part of the subsequent plan making process. It should also mean that significant flood risk mitigation measures should not be necessary to overcome flood risk as the sites that would require this should be screened out through the allocation of sites, or risks managed through, for example, the location of open space. 3. Background 3.1 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 sets out a statutory framework for delivering a sustainable and risk-based approach to managing flooding. The Act also sets duty on SEPA and local authorities to exercise flood related functions to reduce the overall risk of flooding and also to promote sustainable flood risk management. There are also two other main tasks which are set out in the act which are the preparation of assessments of the likelihood and impacts of flooding, and catchment focused plans to address these impacts. 3.2 Flood risk management plans are now in place across Scotland which require to be taken into account when development plans are being 1 prepared. To provide a baseline to inform the LDP SEPA advise that it is helpful to prepare a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. This is to ensure that new development would be free from significant flood risk and new development would not increase flooding elsewhere. 4. Planning Policy 4.1 The Scottish Planning Policy suggests that the land allocated for development should be located in areas with the lowest risk to flooding first with the highest risk areas generally not suitable for most forms of development. The SPP also contains a risk framework which shows the return period and probability associated with river and coastal flooding as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Risk Framework RISK FRAMEWORK Category

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.
