Additional documents: Minutes: The Leader and Cabinet Member (Economic Growth and Human Resources), submitted the flood risk management strategy. The Strategy creates a framework for managing flood risk and is the means by which the Council, as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), will discharge its duty to co-ordinate flood risk management on a day to day basis.
The Strategy has been produced in consultation with local partners and the designated “Risk Management Authorities” under the Act within the Borough. Although it covers wider causes of flooding, its focus is on flooding from surface water runoff, groundwater and smaller ‘ordinary’ watercourses.
The adopted Flood Risk Management Strategy will provide a framework to deliver a prioritised programme of works and initiatives to manage flood risk across the Borough.
Delegated decisions:
That members approve the updated Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) for adoption.
Reason for the decision: To enable the Council, as Lead Local Flood Authority to comply with its statutory duties and responsibilities required under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.
The strategy has been produced in consultation with local partners and the designated “Risk Management Authorities” under the Act within the Borough. The recommendations would enable the Council as a lead local flood authority to meet its statutory duties.
Other options considered and rejected: That members seek revisions to the proposed contents of the LFRMS prior to adoption. Members to specify the nature of any revisions to be sought.
