Summary

Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS25) sets out the Government's spatial planning policy on development and flood risk.

This edition replaces the earlier version of PPS25 published on 7 December 2006. Tables D1 and D2 in Annex D have been revised to clarify the definition of functional floodplain, and to amend how the policy is applied to essential infrastructure, including water treatment works, emergency services facilities, installations requiring hazardous substances consent and wind turbines in flood risk areas.

PPS25 replaced Planning Policy Guidance 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPG25), published in July 2001.
