If any part of your property is shown in a flood hazard area in the Operative District Plan (2017), then floors of any new buildings and extensions to existing buildings on that property are required to be a minimum height above the floodwater level to achieve the minimum freeboard.
However, if Floodviewer updates the flood hazard area on your property from that shown in the Operative District Plan, or if your property is in a flood hazard area not identified in the Operative District Plan (2017), then contact Customer Services on 07 838 6699 who will direct you to someone who can advise you of any relevant requirements for new buildings and extensions to existing buildings on that property.
