Categorisation of Schemes

The schemes were prioritised on the following criteria:

Category A -schemes were established as very recent scheme with large amounts of information available and there was normally enough information to be used to complete the database, without further study.
Category B - schemes with some information and a reasonable likelihood of protecting properties. More detailed studies were undertaken on the majority of these schemes.
Category C - little or no information (usually name and location only). The location was confirmed and any information available entered into the database.
Category D - scheme name only. For these schemes the existence of the scheme was confirmed with the local authority and this information entered into the database.

Standard of protection and options for improvement summary

Table A- 3: Summary of standard of protection and options for improvement

Local Authority	Flood Prevention Scheme	Design return period	SOP return period	Onset of Flooding return period	Recommendations	Work complete or required
Aberdeen City Council	Fraser Road	100	100	100	Meets Standard
Aberdeenshire	Fettercairn	20	2	10	Under detailed review
Angus	Arbroath	25	5	10	Recommendations include maintenance, local raising and consideration of upstream storage	A number of storage options have been considered and one looks promising
Angus	Carnoustie	100	10	75	Options included raising and storage	Defences have been restored to original levels ( SOP currently 200yr)
Angus	Kirriemuir	-	10	10	Recommendations include restoring original defences	Upstream storage is an option Council may consider most viable option
Argyll & Bute	Rothesay	100	100	100	Meets Standard
Dumfries & Galloway	Dalbeattie	80	5	100	Maintenance recommendations	Defences could be raised locally or other flood management options used
Dumfries & Galloway	Port Logan	200	200	200	Meets Standard	Need for occasional CCTV, inspection. Also inspection of neighbouring watercourse which could also cause flood risk in area
East Ayrshire	Kilmarnock	100	100	100	Meets Standard
East Dunbartonshire	Lennoxtown (Rannie Burn)	-	<2	<2	The scheme uses another pipe that is not defined which improves performance	Need to check additional pipe, could also consider upstream storage. Schemes sensitive to screen blockage
East Dunbartonshire	River Kelvin	100	100	100	Meets Standard
East Lothian	Prestonpans	-	200	200	Meets Standard	Hole in wall repaired
Fife	Auchtermuchty	50	2	5	Could raise defences locally, remove sediment, replace missing defences and fill in gaps
Fife	Cairneyhill	50	2	2	Needs maintenance to avoid blockage and raised levels on river bank would lower risk
Fife	Ceres	100	200	200	Meets Standard
Fife	Kincardine	50	5	25
Fife	Millfield Cupar	100	200	200	Meets Standard	Needs maintenance, also land levels could be altered to make sure storage areas performs as designed.
Fife	Pitscottie	100	30	50	Embankments could be raised locally
Glasgow City	Brock Burn & Levernwater	100	200	200	Meets Standard	Check that work by developer that modifies FPS maintains FPS performance
Highland	Conon Bridge	100	25	200	Some work on Connon embankments required. The Eil burn is undefended	Would benefit from a gauge that would improve flood warning and flow estimates. Eil Burn poses continued flood risk
Highlands	Fort Augustus	100	25	100	Strengthen and raise embankment if freeboard required
Inverclyde	Gourock	200	<2	<2	Ideally requires CCTV inspections	Could benefit from upstream storage
Moray	Aberlour	-	200	200	Meets Standard	Maintenance to keep screens clear
North Ayrshire	Largs	250	250	250	Meets Standard - needs a check to assess revised flows do not exceed critical bank levels	Check of FEH flows undertaken and indicates that standard is achieved
Perth & Kinross	Bridge of Earn	100	2	30	Number of maintenance recommendations	Likely solution is to raise defences
Perth & Kinross	Perth	250	250	250	Meets Standard
Renfrewshire	Collier Street	200	1000	1000	Meets Standard	Gabions require regular inspection
Renfrewshire	Crosslee	100	30	50	Confirm standard of protection - resurvey channel
Renfrewshire	Moredun	100	200	-	Meets Standard	Assessment of benefit to downstream areas required
Scottish Borders	Denholm	50	5	5		upstream storage would be feasible
Scottish Borders	Galashiels - Netherdale	30	50	50	Review options for improvement	Review complete- possible to upgrade scheme
Scottish Borders	Galashiels - Plumtree	30	25	30	Review options for improvement	Review complete- possible to upgrade scheme
Scottish Borders	Innerleithen	10	5	5		Possible to upgrade scheme through storage
Scottish Borders	Lauder	-	10	50		Possible to upgrade scheme through storage
Scottish Borders	Peebles	50	5	5	Review options for upstream storage and culvert replacement	Under review
Scottish Borders	Skiprunning Burn	500	75	75	In stream screens and vegetation management	Improved telemetry installed
Scottish Borders	Jedburgh	30	-	100	May need holistic review of town	Review complete weir lowering would lower flood risk
Scottish Borders	Turfford Burn	-	<2	<2	Local headwall improvements would improve standard to 5 year, but would need large scale works. Probably better to review flood risk in Lauder as a whole as largest area of risk at Leader Water.
Stirling	Bridge of Allan	100	5	25	Number of maintenance recommendations including increasing defences locally
West Lothian	Linlithgow	120	200	200	Meets Standard	Need to check overland flow risk
