The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.

National infrastructure project 395 m away: Portishead Branch Line - MetroWest Phase 1
The site is 395 m from the project boundary. Railway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Hinkley Point C Connection (decided, 1484 m); Hinkley Point C Connection Project Material Change (at pre-application, 1459 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
