Potentially Vulnerable Area

Potentially vulnerable areas (PVA) were designated in 2018 based on the potential current or future risk from all sources of flooding. This designation was informed by the national flood risk assessment (available to view at:  https://www.sepa.org.uk/data-visualisation/nfra2018/  ) . As part of continued analysis of flood risk, the national flood risk assessment and potentially vulnerable areas (PVA) will be reviewed every 6 years to take on board any new information. There are eight potentially vulnerable areas (PVA) in the Forth Local Plan District in this plan. The Following sections provide more information on these areas.

• Strathyre
