Details about the draft Local Flood risk Management Strategy and consultation process.
Bath & North East Somerset Council’s draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy is now available for review: http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/services/your-council-and-democracy/consultations
Earlier this year we were in touch to let you know that we were preparing our Local Flood Risk Management Strategy. A draft version of the Strategy is now available for review by organisations and members of the public. We are keen to get your views on this draft Strategy. We would like to know whether you think the strategy covers all the important issues and whether you agree with the range of actions that the Council intends to take on flooding over the next ten years.
As a reminder, the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy:
- Sets out our understanding of the risk of flooding in Bath & North East Somerset, with a particular focus on ‘local flooding’, which includes flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses (typically small streams and ditches).
- Explains the roles and responsibilities of those involved in managing flood risk
- Provides information to help local communities, individuals and businesses better understand flooding and the steps they can take to manage flood risks
- Sets out how we will guide new development to consider flood risk and surface water drainage
- Contains an Action Plan setting out the measures we, and our partners, will take to manage the risks of local flooding.

You can leave feedback using the online feedback form at the above website or feel free to email me with any comments.
The consultation period runs until 26th October 2015.
Printed copies of the Strategy will also be available in One-Stop-Shops and Libraries in the Bath & North East Somerset area.
What happens following the consultation?
All the comments received via the consultation process will be considered. Where possible and practical they will be used to help inform revisions to the document.
The final Local Flood Risk Management Strategy, as modified after the consultation, will need to be approved by the Council’s Cabinet. Once this has happened we will be able to publish a final version. We hope that the Strategy will be completed towards the end of 2015.
