What Does Deeping St James's Flood Risk Classification Mean?

0.7% of postcodes in Deeping St James sit in Flood Zone 3, the planning band for land with a 1% or greater annual chance of river flooding or 0.5% or greater of sea flooding — and the map that draws it deliberately ignores flood defences.
