Flooding
Parts of Lower Brailes are at risk of flooding from both fluvial (river), surface and overland-flow sources. The gov.uk website provides flood maps for information at this link https://flood-map-for-planning.service.gov.uk. Lower Brailes has suffered from recent flood events in 2019, 2016, 2012, 2007 and 1998. Many many historic flood events are recorded elsewhere.
This is the flood map for fluvial (river) flood risk in Lower Brailes . This represents the extent of flooding from Sutton Brook, however, local knowledge points to Hen Brook and Scuttle Brook also being sources of fluvial flood risk. Below is a High Risk Surface Flood Map for Lower Brailes at a 1 in 30 chance of annual flooding. (see planitbrailes.com)
