The Environment Agency has produced standing advice to enable local planning authorities in England to make decisions on low risk planning applications where flood risk is an issue without directly consulting the Agency for an individual response. It also identifies those higher risk development situations where case by case consultation with the Agency should continue.

FCERM.NET - UK Flood and Coastal Erosion Management Network

Flooding is a global challenge being exacerbated by changes in climate, rapid increases in human population, urban development and economic growth.

With over 6 million UK properties at risk from flooding or coastal erosion, and the likelihood that this number will increase with future changes in climate, an integrated and multi-disciplinary response that brings together expertise from across the flood risk management sector - and beyond is needed.

UK DEFRA - Flood risk assessments: climate change allowances

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out how the planning system should help minimise vulnerability and provide resilience to the impacts of climate change. NPPF and supporting planning practice guidance on Flood Risk and Coastal Change explain when and how flood risk assessments should be used. This includes demonstrating how flood risk will be managed now and over the development’s lifetime, taking climate change into account. Local planning authorities refer to this when preparing local plans and considering planning applications.

Land4Flood Project - Natural Flood Retention on Private Land
Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of future flood events, leading to higher costs of flood damages and increasing the public demand for protective measures. Traditional flood protection measures, mainly based on grey infrastructure (i.e. dikes, dams, etc), are not sufficient to cope with dynamic flood risk alone. Nature-based solutions such as Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRM) are promising options to mitigate flood risks as a complement to grey infrastructure. These types of measures not only serve to reduce risk, they also provide additional ecosystem services including increased biodiversity and recreation opportunities. However, a common characteristic of green infrastructure measures is that they often claim more land than traditional methods. To allow participants and stakeholders to focus on particular topics of interest, LAND4FLOOD is organised in three Working Groups (WG): WG1 – Environmental conditions: The effects of land on catchment hydrology. WG2 – Socio-political contexts: Property rights, opportunities and limitations for negotiating land for flood risk management WG3 – Stakeholders and interests: Negotiating and mobilising processes to secure land for flood risk management

The FLOODSite Project - Integrated Flood Risk Analysis
The FLOODsite Project comprises an extensive programme of research and development work addressing flood risk analysis and management. With a research team exceeding 200 drawn from 37 different organisations in 13 different countries of the EU and addressing some 35 distinct tasks of work, there is a need to be methodical in ensuring effective, team wide communication and dissemination. Effective communication and dissemination is essential if the true potential of the research work is to be realised. To this end, the project has developed its own Communication and Dissemination Plan.

FloodList is run by a small team of dedicated people bringing you news and information on the latest flood events from around the world.

Funding

FloodList receives funding from Copernicus, the European Union (EU) programme for monitoring the Earth’s environment using satellite and in-situ observations.

Copernicus is the concrete realisation of the European idea of providing citizens with new public services on both a European and global scale. By investing in Earth monitoring and observation systems and networks, which monitor and forecast the state of the environment on land, sea and in the atmosphere, we are now better able to understand our planet, protect and sustain our environment and feel more safe and secure.
