Due to past flood events in Craven Arms we considered it necessary to proceed with a detailed assessment of flood risk. Historical information and new sources of data were used to ensure the most accurate result. Undertaking a detailed SWMP has allowed us to better understand the flooding mechanisms and characteristics of the catchments.

Detailed computer models of the catchments in which Craven Arms sits were constructed. This approach has allowed us to accurately map the flood risk in the area and to fully assess the benefits of a number of different options.
