PLEASE NOTE: this dataset has been retired. It has been superseded by data for Flood Risk Areas: https://environment.data.gov.uk/dataset/f3d63ec5-a21a-49fb-803a-0fa0fb7238b6

The Indicative Flood Risk Areas are primarily based on an aggregated 1km square grid Updated Flood Map for Surface Water (1 in 100 and 1000 annual probability rainfall), informally referred to as the “blue square map”.

• Cluster Maps – are aggregations of 3km by 3km squares that each contain at least 4 (in Wales) or 5 (in England) touching "blue squares" (i.e. 1km grid squares where one of the thresholds above is exceeded)

This dataset forms part of Indicative Flood Risk Areas (shapefiles)
