Flood Plain Zoning

Advantages

  • The risk of flooding is reduced
  • Impermeable surfaces aren't created e.g. buildings and roads
  • The impact of flooding is reduced
  • There aren't any houses or roads to be damaged

Disadvantages

  • The expansion of an urban area is limited if there aren't any other suitable building sites
  • It's no help in areas that have already been built on

Evaluation

Restrictions prevent building on parts of a flood plain that are likely to be affected by a flood
