Guidance for Local Authorities Taking Forward Flood Prevention Schemes Under the Flood Prevention (Scotland) Act 1961
The guidance is a series of technical documents, aimed at local authorities and their professional advisors, on best practice for the promotion of flood prevention schemes under the current statutory framework. With an expected increase in the number and scale of schemes being brought forward, it will be important to have guidance that ensures consistency of approach.
The guidance will contain 10 chapters in total and together they will provide an integrated series of guidance documents with each chapter concentrating on specific aspects of identifying and evaluating flood prevention options. The guidance is intended to encourage local authorities to take a more strategic approach to flood risk management. It will also promote and encourage local authorities to work with a range of stakeholders, consulting widely and adopting a partnership approach to future flood prevention solutions.
