Delivering sustainable flood risk management is important for Scotland’s continued economic success and well-being. It is essential that we avoid and reduce the risk of flooding, and prepare and protect ourselves and our communities.This is first local flood risk management plan for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District, describing the actions which will make a real difference to managing the risk of flooding and recovering from any future flood events. The task now for us – local authorities, Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Scottish Government and all other responsible authorities and public bodies – is to turn our plan into action.

Page ii

ForewordThe impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastatingand long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improveScotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events which do occur.

The publication of this Plan is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management(Scotland) Act 2009 and improving how we cope with and manage floods in the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District. The Plan translates this legislation into actions to reduce the damage anddistress caused by flooding over the first planning cycle from 2016 to 2022. This Plan should be readin conjunction with the Flood Risk Management Strategy that was published for the Clyde and LochLomond area by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency in December 2015.

The Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District Local Flood Risk Management Plan is published byGlasgow City Council on behalf of a partnership comprising 10 local authorities Argyll and ButeCouncil, East Dunbartonshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Glasgow City Council, InverclydeCouncil, North Lanarkshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Stirling Counciland West Dunbartonshire Council – SEPA and a number of responsible authorities Scottish Water;Forestry Commission Scotland; and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority.

In summary, there are 22 catchments that have been designated as being Potentially VulnerableAreas within the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District. These are areas within which clusters ofproperties are at significant risk of flooding. Across the Local Plan District there are 21,000residential and 8,600 non residential properties at risk of flooding. The estimated annual averagedamage of these flood risks is approximately £67 million per annum.

This Plan presents actions to avoid and reduce the risk of flooding, and prepare and protectourselves and our communities within these potentially vulnerable areas and across the Local PlanDistrict. These actions include 19 flood protection schemes or works; 24 flood protection studies; aswell as flood warning schemes, surface water management plans, and natural flood managementstudies and works.

Reducing flood risk is a shared responsibility as everyone is responsible for protecting themselvesand their property from flooding. The publication of this Plan shows that the coordinated andcollaborative efforts of public bodies can be brought together to deliver sustainable outcomes.

This Plan therefore provides the blueprint upon which local authorities, SEPA, Scottish Water andother responsible authorities will deliver their flood risk management responsibilities in asustainable manner. However, the actions in this Plan can only be delivered with the continuedsupport of all the public bodies, The Scottish Government and, most importantly, you and yourcommunities.

I would like to thank all those who contributed to the development of this Plan which will help shapethe way in which flood risk and the impacts of flooding are reduced across the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District.

1 Flood Risk Management in the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District

1.1 What is a Local Flood Risk Management Plan? This Local Flood Risk Management Plan (the ‘Plan’) has been developed to detail the actionsadopted to reduce the devastating and costly impact of flooding in the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District. The Plan supplements the Flood Risk Management Strategy (the‘Strategy’), which sets out the actions to tackle flooding, be it in our cities or rural areas andbe it from rivers, the sea or from surface water. The Strategy identifies where the risk offlooding and benefits of investment are greatest: the Plan details the prioritised actions thatwill be delivered with this investment. There are 13 other Strategies and Plans for the otherLocal Plan Districts in Scotland.

The Flood Risk Management Strategy for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District isavailable on the SEPA website here – http://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/

By publishing the Strategy and this Plan, individuals and communities have the informationto better manage their own responsibilities. Everyone can take action with the confidence ofwhat others are doing and with the clear knowledge when they are doing it.

The Plan details how and when the actions to deliver the goals set in the Strategy are to bedelivered in the first six year planning cycle, from 2016 to 2022 (Cycle 1). They thereforedescribe the short term direction of flood risk management in the Clyde and Loch LomondLocal Plan District, which is expanded upon in the Strategy. The actions in this Plan are basedon agreed objectives for tackling floods in higher risk areas. They rely on the best evidenceavailable on the causes and consequences of flooding and make clear the practical ambitionof responsible authorities, including local authorities and Scottish Water.

It is through this risk based and plan led approach that flood management will improve forthe individuals, communities and businesses at risk in the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local PlanDistrict.

The Plan is published by Glasgow City Council, Lead Authority for the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District. The Plan has been prepared in collaboration with and agreed byArgyll and Bute Council, East Dunbartonshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, InverclydeCouncil, North Lanarkshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council, StirlingCouncil and West Dunbartonshire Council, SEPA, Scottish Water, Forestry CommissionScotland and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authoritiy. The Plan is arequirement under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and fulfils requirementswithin the European Commission’s Floods Directive.

Page 2

1.2 How to read this plan The Local Flood Risk Management Plan has three sections:

Chapter 1 contains background information on the approach taken in Scotland to manageflooding. It explains the duties and aims of relevant organisations, including how they worktogether and how flood risk management planning is linked to other government policiesand initiatives. And, most importantly, how flood risk management planning is deliveredlocally to each Local Plan District through a Local Flood Risk Management Plan.

Chapter 2 provides background information on the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local PlanDistrict, an overview of flood risk and additional information on river, coastal and surfacewater flooding. The chapter also provides a summary of the Potentially Vulnerable Areaspecific actions and sets out the Local Plan District wide actions together with other floodrisk management activities. Finally the chapter provides information on the funding and coordination arrangements for the delivery of actions set out in the Plan and confirms thecommitment to use natural features to manage flood risk where beneficial.

Chapter 3 is the most important section for those individuals and communities seeking tounderstand their flood risk and its management. Information is provided for each PotentiallyVulnerable Area, a catchment within which a significant number of receptors are at risk offlooding. For each Potentially Vulnerable Area there is a short description of the causes andconsequences of flooding, with area specific agreed goals or objectives clearly set out. And,most importantly, the actions that will deliver progress against these goals over the first sixyear planning cycle from 2016 and 2022 are described, including when they will beimplemented and which organisation is responsible.

Annexes to the Plan provide supporting documents and references, and present moredetailed information in various formats. A glossary of terms is also available.

The Plan should be read alongside the Strategy for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local PlanDistrict. The Strategy has been developed in parallel and provides additional backgroundinformation and national context. The publication date of the Strategy was December 2015.Both the Plan and the Strategy will be updated every six years – see chapter 1.5 of the Plan.

1.3 How we have developed the Plan? Coordination, collaboration and partnership working

Many organisations and individuals are involved in helping to improve flood management inScotland. A piecemeal approach to tackle flooding does not work. Flooding is too complex,and the causes and impacts too complicated for any single organisation to address alone.Flooding disregards local authority boundaries and similarly cuts across the responsibilitiesof organisations such as SEPA, Scottish Water and emergency responders. Floodmanagement requires the coordination set out in this Plan (and parallel Strategy) to besuccessful. A willingness to collaborate by those responsible for flood management isessential.

The Plan has been developed in partnership. Those organisations responsible are workingmore closely together than ever before. In local partnerships, here and throughout Scotland,SEPA has provided the technical analysis and ensured a consistent national approach istaken. It has provided the evidence upon which to make sensible, informed decisions. Localauthorities and Scottish Water have made sure that local knowledge and expertise hasinformed the decision making. The National Park Authority and Forestry CommissionScotland have also contributed. The Plan has been developed by:

Glasgow City Council (Lead Authority);

Argyll and Bute Council;

East Dunbartonshire Council;

East Renfrewshire Council;

Inverclyde Council;

North Lanarkshire Council;

Renfrewshire Council;

South Lanarkshire Council;

Stirling Council;

West Dunbartonshire Council;

Scottish Water;

SEPA;

Forestry Commission Scotland; and

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority.

Roles and responsibilities for flood risk management planning

Individuals are the first line of defence against flooding and have responsibilities to protectthemselves from flooding. Being prepared by knowing what to do and who to contact ifflooding happens can help you reduce the damage and disruption flooding can have on yourlife.

However, the responsibility for planning flood risk management falls in the main to SEPA,local authorities and Scottish Water.

SEPA is Scotland’s national flood forecasting, flood warning and strategic flood riskmanagement authority. SEPA has a statutory duty to produce Scotland's Flood RiskManagement Strategies. They work closely with other organisations responsible formanaging flood risk through a network of partnerships and stakeholder groups to ensurethat a nationally consistent approach to flood risk management is adopted. SEPA also has aresponsibility to identify where in Scotland there is the potential for natural floodmanagement techniques to be introduced.

Local authorities work together for flood risk management planning purposes through asingle lead authority which has the responsibility to produce a Local Flood Risk ManagementPlan. Local authorities have been working collaboratively to develop these. It is theresponsibility of your local authority to implement its flood protection actions agreed withinthe Plan from new engineering projects to clearance and repair of watercourses. Duringsevere flooding, local authorities will work with the emergency services and coordinateshelter for people evacuated from their homes.

Scottish Water is a responsible authority for flood risk management and is working closelywith SEPA, local authorities and others to coordinate plans to manage flood risk. ScottishWater has the public drainage duty and is responsible for foul drainage and the drainage ofrainwater run off from roofs and any paved ground surface from within the boundary ofproperties. Additionally, Scottish Water helps to protect homes from flooding caused bysewers either overflowing or becoming blocked. Scottish Water is not responsible for privatepipework or guttering within the property boundary.

Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority and Forestry CommissionScotland are responsible authorities for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District. Bothorganisations have a big role in developing natural flood management actions.

Further details on some of the key roles are outlined in Annex 2.

Page 5

Consultation, engagement and advice

Local authorities and SEPA have been keen to hear from the people and communities thatlive under the threat of flooding, to ensure that our technical analysis of the risks is accurateand that efforts to manage flooding are targeted to where most can be achieved. Twostatutory public consultations were held during the development of the Strategies and Plans.The first, by SEPA, was on the general approach to flood risk management planning and theidentification of priority areas (2011); the second, held jointly with SEPA and localauthorities, was on the understanding of flooding in these priority areas and on theobjectives and actions to manage flooding (2015). The views and representations of therespondents to the second consultation were taken account of in developing and finalisingthe Plan. Details of further consultations and other communication and engagementactivities for this Plan are described below.

Further advice has been sought from relevant organisations at key stages. The Strategies(and Plans) have benefitted from input from Local Advisory Groups, providing importantarea based knowledge on both the causes and consequences of flooding and on theappropriate actions for future management. Advice was also taken from a National FloodManagement Advisory Group consisting of over 50 member organisations, reflecting thenational importance and impact of flooding on our communities, economy, environmentand cultural heritage.

Some of the work carried out has been complex and technical in nature for whichprofessional advice was sought from across Scotland and beyond. Working together, SEPA,The Scottish Government, local authorities, Scottish Water, Forestry Commission Scotland,the National Park Authorities and other key interested organisations have assisted eachother and developed industry best practice guidance for flood risk management planning.

In February 2016 a non statutory consultation was undertaken by the Clyde and LochLomond local authorities to raise awareness of flood risk, the Flood Risk ManagementStrategy document and the development of the Local Flood Risk Management Plan.

Page 6

Identification of objectives, appraisal and prioritisation of actions

The identification of objectives and appraisal of actions to reduce flood risk has been led bySEPA with significant local input from local authorities and Scottish Water. The setting ofobjectives and selecting the most sustainable actions to reduce flood risk in each Local PlanDistrict will provide the long term vision for Flood Risk Management in Scotland. Objectivesset focus on the main sources and impacts of flooding identified for each PotentiallyVulnerable Area in every Local Plan District. A wide range of actions were appraised,including flood protection works and schemes, flood protection studies, flood warningschemes, surface water management plans, and natural flood management studies andworks.

To prioritise future actions across Scotland as required in flood risk management planning,SEPA separated the technical, risk based assessment of priorities from aspects of local,practical deliverability. In this way the data on the costs and impacts of actions is usedalongside information from delivery and funding bodies to jointly agree priorities andidentify indicative delivery dates for actions. A National Prioritisation Advisory Group wasestablished to provide guidance to SEPA on the priority of flood risk management actions,having considered both the technical ranking prepared by SEPA and issues of local priority.This group was made up of representatives from SEPA, the Scottish Government, localauthorities, CoSLA and Scottish Water.

The Strategy provides the list of prioritised actions for the first six year flood riskmanagement planning cycle, 2016 to 2022. The Plan identifies who will be responsible forthe action, a timetable of when it will be undertaken and the funding arrangements – seeChapter 2.

The lists of prioritised actions to meet agreed goals and objectives in the first six year cycleconsidered what would be achievable assuming a consistent level of funding each year forflood risk management activities from The Scottish Government. However, given the timingof spending reviews and annualised financial settlements for local government, the actualability to deliver all the actions set in the Strategies in December 2015 and detailed in thisPlan will be dependent on the availability of the necessary funding in each year of the sixyear Plan.

Page 7

Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulations Appraisal

Glasgow City Council undertook screening to determine whether a Strategic EnvironmentalAssessment (SEA) was required to support the development of the Plan. A screening reportwas submitted to the SEA Gateway to seek the views of the Consultation Authorities (SEPA,SNH and Historic Environment Scotland). The screening report documented that an SEA hadbeen undertaken by SEPA for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Flood Risk Management Strategyand that the actions set out in the Plan mirrored the actions assessed under the Strategy. Onthis basis, the screening report concluded that an SEA would not be required as the Planwould not have any significant environmental effects over and above those assessed for theStrategy. The views expressed by the Consultation Authorities supported the conclusion thatan SEA was not required, whereupon Glasgow City Council determined that an SEA was notrequired.

Glasgow City Council also undertook a Habitats Regulations Appraisal (HRA). The scope ofour appraisal was a review of the HRA prepared by SEPA to support the development of theClyde and Loch Lomond Flood Risk Management Strategy, whereupon we adopted the SEPAappraisal outputs. This platform has been built upon to further develop the AppropriateAssessment, including identifying mitigation actions, for the Cycle 1 actions identified ashaving the potential to adversely affect a European site. This has allowed Glasgow CityCouncil, as the plan making body, to ascertain that implementation of the Plan will notadversely affect the integrity of any European site. Scottish Natural Heritage was consultedon our appraisal and has confirmed that they are content with the Appraisal produced.

1.4 Links with other plans, policies, strategies and legislative requirements The Plan does not stand in isolation. As far as is practicable, an integrated approach to landand water management has been pursued. When developing the Strategy and Plan, earlylinks were made with other relevant aspects of water and land management including localdevelopment plans, river basin management plans and emergency plans. In turn, theresponsible authorities will work proactively to ensure the findings from these flood riskmanagement plans and strategies will influence other planning initiatives in an interactiveand iterative cycle. Making these links has helped identify opportunities to deliver multiplebenefits from flood risk management goals, objectives and actions.

River basin management planning

Reducing flood risk in Scotland through the development of Flood Risk ManagementStrategies has provided an opportunity to connect with plans to improve the quality ofScotland’s water environment at the same time. For example, coordination between riverbasin management and flood risk management can reduce flood risk, whilst improving waterquality and biodiversity.

SEPA is leading the delivery of River Basin Management Plans and Flood Risk ManagementStrategies, and local authorities for Local Flood Risk Management Plans, and they haveworked to ensure that there is integration and coordination between them. Thiscoordination, particularly in regard to consultation and engagement, will be important forstakeholders many of whom have an interest in the objectives of both Plans and Strategies.

Local Development Plans

Planning plays a vital role in flood risk management. Scottish Planning Policy requires thatLocal Development Plans take account of Flood Risk Management Strategies and Plans. LocalDevelopment Plan strategies and policies, together with associated SupplementaryGuidance, should set the direction of travel for making space for water and sustainablemanagement of flood risk. Local Authorities may develop Area Specific Guidance to manageareas such as those where Surface Water Management Plans are programmed, and LocalDevelopment Plan policies and associated Supplementary Guidance may require that this istaken into consideration when making decisions on planning proposals. Relevant Authoritieswill perform their statutory duties with a view to reducing overall flood risk. IntegratingFlood Risk Management and Planning will be iterative and will develop through the LocalDevelopment Plan Cycle and Flood Risk Management Planning Cycle. Scottish Planning Policypresumes against building on floodplains unless in exceptional circumstances.

Scottish Water Business Plan 2015-2021

Scottish Water’s investment programme is set out in their business plan 2015 2021, whichcan be found in their website [https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/aboutus/publications/strategic projections].

Scottish Water’s customers have told them that reducing internal property flooding fromsewers is a high priority and this is reflected in Scottish Water’s Business Plan commitmentsfor the period 2015 2021. Addressing sewer flooding is of the highest importance to Scottish

Page 9

Water, as highlighted by their customers who have helped shape the investment plans for2015 2021.

In recognition of this high priority, within the period 2015 2021, Scottish Water will investcirca £115m to improve the hydraulic capability of the sewer network so that they canremove all customers from the high risk internal sewer flooding register (greater than 10%chance per annum) as quickly as possible, typically within four years of their problem beingconfirmed. However Scottish Water has made a commitment to those customers on theregister on 31 March 2015 that they will no longer be on the register by 31 March 2021.

Scottish Water customers have also highlighted external flooding is an important issue. As aresult, within the period 2015 2021, Scottish Water is investing circa £40m to develop and tobegin to implement solutions to reduce the flood risk for 400 high priority external sewerflooding areas suffering from frequent repeat flooding events.

As a responsible authority under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009, ScottishWater is also working collaboratively with third parties such as SEPA and local authoritiesthrough the Flood Risk Management Planning process which will assess the risk of floodinginto the future.

As part of that work, Scottish Water has allocated investment to undertake furthermodelling and assessment in sewer catchments within Potentially Vulnerable Areas toimprove knowledge and understanding of flood risk from the sewers in these areas, asrequired under Section 16 of the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009. ScottishWater is also working in partnership with SEPA and Local Authorities, to lead on theproduction of Integrated Catchment Studies across key catchments. Work carried out underthese Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 duties will continue to inform futureinvestment requirements for Scottish Water.

1.5 Supplementary and Implementation Parts This Plan consists of both Supplementary and Implementation parts, as required by Clause34 of the Flood Risk Management Act.

1.6 Next steps and monitoring progress The Plan runs for six years from June 2016. Over this period the Clyde and Loch LomondLocal Plan District partnership will continue to meet periodically to monitor progresstowards implementing the actions detailed in Chapters 2 and 3.

Between years 2 and 3 of the Flood Risk Management cycle (i.e. before June 2019), GlasgowCity Council, as Lead Authority will publish a report on the conclusions of a review of thePlan, including information on the progress that has been made towards implementing theActions.

Between years 5 and 6 of the Flood Risk Management cycle (i.e. before June 2022), GlasgowCity Council, as lead authority will publish a report on the Plan containing an assessment ofthe progress made towards implementing the current Actions, a summary of the currentActions which were not implemented, with reasons for their non implementation, and adescription of any other Actions implemented since the plan was finalised which havecontributed to the achievement of the objectives summarised in the Plan.

2 Managing Flood Risk in the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District

This chapter provides background information on the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local PlanDistrict, an overview of flood risk and additional information on river, coastal and surfacewater flooding. The chapter also provides a summary of the Potentially Vulnerable Areaspecific actions and sets out the Local Plan District wide actions together with other floodrisk management activities. Finally the chapter provides information on the funding and coordination arrangements for the delivery of actions set out in the Plan and confirms thecommitment to use natural features to manage flood risk where beneficial.

More detailed information on the Local Plan District and the causes of flooding is provided inthe Clyde and Loch Lomond Flood Risk Management Strategy, available on the SEPA websitehere http://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/

2.1 Local Plan District background The Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District extends from Loch Lomond in the north toLeadhills in the south, and includes part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs NationalPark (see Figure 1). This district has a total area of approximately 4,800km2 and is primarilyserved by 10 local authorities. The vast majority of properties at risk of flooding within theLocal Plan District are located within the 22 Potentially Vulnerable Areas and the onecandidate Potentially Vulnerable Area.

2.2 Flood Risk in the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District SEPA has produced national flood maps for Scotland. The maps, first published online inJanuary 2014, are designed to help you understand how you could be affected by floodingfrom river, coastal and surface water. Further information regarding the development of theflood maps and providing a link to the maps, is available online on the SEPA website here –http://www.sepa.org.uk/environment/water/flooding/flood maps/

There are approximately 21,000 residential properties and 8,600 non residential propertiesat risk of flooding within the Local Plan District. This equates to 27% of all properties at riskof flooding nationally. Within the Local Plan District, approximately 3% of the residentialproperties and 8% of non residential properties are at risk and it is estimated that 97% ofthese properties are located within Potentially Vulnerable Areas. The Annual AverageDamages from flooding are approximately £67 million per annum.

River flooding is the main source of flooding in the Local Plan District. In the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District, river flooding is reported across three distinct river catchments –the River Clyde catchment group, the River Leven (Dunbartonshire) catchment group andthe Firth of Clyde catchment group. Coastal flooding and surface water flooding are reportedacross the whole Local Plan District.

The Annual Average Damages caused by river flooding are £28 million, with £19 millionAverage Annual Damages caused by coastal flooding and £20 million Average AnnualDamages associated with surface water flooding. The relative proportion of flooding fromeach source is shown below in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Annual Average Damages by flood source

Figure 3 and Table 1 show the main areas at flood risk, number of properties at risk and theassociated Annual Average Damages caused by flooding. This includes physical damage toresidential properties, non residential properties, transport and agriculture, but excludes thecost of economic disruption caused by flooding. Please note that economic damages toairports and rail infrastructure were not assessed as strategic information on damages atthis scale was not available.

Coastal Flooding

There are estimated to be approximately 3,600 residential properties and approximately1,300 non residential properties at risk of coastal flooding. The highest damages arepredicted to occur around Clydebank, Dumbarton, Renfrew and Rothesay. High damages canalso be seen in Glasgow City (along the Clyde), Port Glasgow, Gourock and Renton. This isdue to the density of businesses in the area and the impact on entertainment services,commercial services and industrial properties. The distribution of coastal flooding damagesis shown in Figure 8.

Surface water flooding

There are estimated to be approximately 13,000 residential and 6,300 non residentialproperties at risk of surface water flooding. Approximately 98% of all properties at risk fromsurface water flooding are located within Potentially Vulnerable Areas.

The Average Annual Damages caused by surface water flooding are approximately £20million, with a high concentration of damages in and around Glasgow. The distribution ofsurface water flooding damages is shown in Figure 9.

Flood Risk Management Objectives

Objectives have been set by SEPA and agreed with flood risk management responsibleauthorities. These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have beengrouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk bymaintaining current levels of management.

Page 23

2.3 Actions within Potentially Vulnerable Areas This Plan sets out over 100 Potentially Vulnerable Area specific actions to be progressedduring Cycle 1 (2016 – 2022) to reduce and manage flood risk with the Clyde and LochLomond Local Plan District. These actions respond to objectives set out in the Flood RiskManagement Strategy. Table 3 shows the split of these actions by type and leadorganisation, together with the total number of actions being progressed across Scotland.

2.5 Other flood risk activities by local authorities Other activities undertaken by local authorities to manage flood risk are summarised below:

Section 18 & 59: Works of Clearance and Repair

Based on an assessment of the condition of a body of water, local authorities must prepare aschedule of clearance and repair works that would substantially reduce the risk of flooding.This is commonly referred to as a Schedule 18, which is made available by each localauthority within the Local Plan District for public inspection. Under Section 59 of the Act, thelocal authority must carry out the works in the Schedule 18 if it considers that this willcontribute to the implementation of actions in the Plan. Details of how to access Schedule18s for each local authority in the Local Plan District are included in Annex 4 of the Plan.

Where any material has been placed on the bank of a watercourse or fallen into thewatercourse, the local authority may serve notice on the landowner to remove suchmaterial if it presents an increased risk of flooding. If the landowner fails to remove thematerial within the stated period of time, the local authority may remove the material andrecover the cost of removal from the landowner.

Section 56: General Power to manage flood risk

Without affecting the implementation of actions in this Plan, a local authority may doanything which it considers will contribute to the implementation of actions in the Plan or isnecessary to reduce the risk of a flood which is likely to occur imminently and have seriousadverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage or economicactivity in its area.

This may include carrying out flood protection works, which may not be identified as actionsin the Plan.

Page 28

2.6 Funding Funding is anticipated to be available to progress all actions set out in this Plan. However,the completion of the Plan actions shall require sufficient funding to be made available overthe 6 year cycle. Where funding becomes a constraint to progress, this will be highlighted inthe monitoring reports (see Section 1.6) prepared on the implementation of the Plan. Thefunding streams to deliver the Plan actions are described below.

The Scottish Government has a duty toconsider the requirements of the FRM Act infuture funding allocations. Delivery of Actionsby Transport Scotland to either accept (but tomonitor and take appropriate action) or toreduce the physical risk, or disruption risk, willbe determined by Ministerial funding decisions,as outlined in forthcoming Spending Reviews.Local authority partners will contribute fundingtowards studies where applicable.

Page 30

Network Rail Actions




Flood protection scheme/works

The Network Rail Initial Industry Plan (IIP) isbeing developed for submission to The ScottishGovernment in September 2016. This willinclude a bid to carry out drainage workassociated with Flood Risk ManagementStrategy actions for the period 2019 to 2024.Delivery of Flood Risk Management Strategyactions will be prioritised in accordance withallocated funding.

Page 31

2.7 Coordination The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 places a general duty on SEPA andresponsible authorities to adopt an integrated approach by co operating with each other soas to co ordinate the delivery of the actions set out in this Plan.

This is achieved at a Local Plan District level through the Clyde and Loch Lomond SeniorOfficers Group meeting regularly. This group brings together senior officers from SEPA andthe responsible authorities to discuss the development and implementation of actions. Thework of this group is facilitated by the presence of a Programme Management Office (PMO)which supports the communication between parties and provides assistance co ordinatingrelated actions. The PMO also aids integrated working during the implementation of actionsbetween SEPA, responsible authorities and third parties.

Actions are related where they occur within the same river or sewer catchment. This isbecause a change in the flow patterns of river or surface water may have an impact on thedevelopment of other actions within the same catchment. Related actions will becoordinated and the coordination of these related actions will be monitored by the PMO andreviewed at the Senior Officers Group. All actions specific to a Potentially Vulnerable Areaare also related to the Local Plan District wide actions. In addition, the Senior Officers Groupwill provide a forum to share best practice and lessons learnt from similar studies.

Co ordination between SEPA and the responsible authorities is also specific to the type ofaction as described below or noted within the specific Action Description in Section 3.

Flood protection studies will be led by the local authority within whose boundary the mainriver or watercourse flooding occurs. The development of the flood protection study will beco ordinated with the other local authority areas that the river or watercourse flowsthrough, together with SEPA to link into River Basin Management Plan related activities andScottish Water where there is interaction between the sewer network and the river orwatercourse. The flood protection study for the River Leven will also be developed inpartnership with the National Park Authority.

Flood protection schemes / works will be led by the lead authority identified within thisPlan – ie local authorities, Transport Scotland, Network Rail or Scottish Water. Thedevelopment and delivery of the flood protection scheme / works will be co ordinated withall appropriate stakeholders to ensure an integrated and collaborative approach isdemonstrated.

Integrated catchment studies will be led by Scottish Water. Scottish Water will workcollaboratively with project partners throughout the studies. Scottish Water will provideproject partners with the outputs of the integrated catchment study which, where relevant,may be used to inform surface water management plans.

Page 32

Surface water management plans will be led by the local authority in whose area themajority of the plan is located. The development of the surface water plan will be coordinated with the other local authorities within whose area the plan extends and ScottishWater due to the interaction between surface water and the sewer system. Scottish Waterwill provide local knowledge and understanding of the sewer network. This may includeoutputs of Section 16 or integrated catchment studies (where available), to assist with thesurface water management planning process. SEPA has provided flood hazard mappinginformation to inform the surface water management planning process. Where theopportunity for woodland management is identified during the development of a surfacewater management plan, the Forestry Commission Scotland will be consulted.

Natural flood management studies that fall within a single local authority will be led by thatauthority. Natural flood management studies that straddle several local authorityboundaries will be led by either the National Park Authority or the Glasgow and Clyde ValleyGreen Network Partnership, with the local authorities collaborating in the development ofthe study. All studies will be co ordinated with SEPA to link into River Basin ManagementPlan related activities and the Forestry Commission in relation to woodland managementopportunities.

The development of new flood warnings will be led by SEPA who will co ordinate with thelocal authorities within whose area the new warning is proposed to be available. The floodwarning for the River Leven will also be developed in partnership with the National ParkAuthority.

Scottish Water and local authorities will use the Local Plan District Partnerships to keep eachother informed of large scale capital maintenance works and identify opportunities forpossible co ordination of work.

Awareness raising initiatives within the Local Plan District by either SEPA or any responsibleauthority will continue to be co ordinated through the Senior Officers Group.

2.8 Natural Features The primary actions that will explore the opportunity and utilise natural features tocontribute to the management of flood risk are the natural flood management studies andworks set out in Section 3. The Plan sets out eight natural flood management studies andone natural flood management works spanning across six Potentially Vulnerable Areas. Theco ordination arrangements for natural flood management actions are set out in Section 2.7above.

Over and above these nine specific natural flood management actions, elements of naturalflood management will be considered and incorporated into other flood protection andsurface water management actions where beneficial.

3 Managing Flood Risk in Potentially Vulnerable Areas

This chapter is focused on the actions being taken to manage flood risk in the PotentiallyVulnerable Areas. For each Potentially Vulnerable Area, background information including asummary of flood impacts and the actions to manage flooding is presented. Additionalinformation on flooding within each Potentially Vulnerable Area is available within the Clydeand Loch Lomond Flood Risk Management Strategy, available on the SEPA website herehttp://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/

The background information sets the scene for the planned actions to manage flooding thathave been prioritised for delivery between 2016 and 2022. The Potentially Vulnerable Arealevel action tables set out the flood management objective that is to be achieved, provide adescription of the action, identify who will be responsible for the delivery andimplementation and a timetable of when the actions will be undertaken. The Local PlanDistrict wide actions noted in Section 2.4 apply to all Potentially Vulnerable Areas.

This information is provided for each of the 22 Potentially Vulnerable Areas and the onecandidate Potentially Vulnerable Area within the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District.Each Potentially Vulnerable Area has a separate sub section with each sub section followingthe same format.

The flood management objectives are the shared aims for managing flooding. Actionsdescribe where and how flood risk will be managed. Objectives and actions have been set bySEPA and agreed by the flood risk management responsible authorities followingconsultation.

Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain andmanage their own assets including the risk from flooding. Where known, these actions aredescribed here. Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Environment Scotland work with siteowners to manage flooding where appropriate at designated environmental and/or culturalheritage sites. These actions are not detailed further in the Local Flood Risk ManagementPlan.

Annex 2: Roles and Responsibilities

Individuals are the first line of defence against flooding. However, public bodies haveresponsibilities too and are working together to reduce the impacts of flooding in Scotland.Responsibility for flood risk management planning falls in the main to SEPA, local authoritiesand Scottish Water. However, individuals have a personal responsibility to protectthemselves and their property.

Some of the key roles are outlined below and more information is available from the SEPAwebsite.

Your responsibilities

Organisations and individuals have responsibilities to protect themselves from flooding.Being prepared by knowing what to do and who to contact if flooding happens can help youreduce the damage and disruption flooding can have on your life.

The first step to being prepared is to sign up to Floodline www.floodlinescotland.org.uk toreceive messages to let you know where and when flooding is likely to happen. Other usefultools and advice on how to be prepared are available on the Floodline website including aquick guide to who to contact in the event of a flood. You can also check how your areacould be affected by flooding by looking at SEPA’s flood mapswww.sepa.org.uk/environment/water/flooding/flood maps

SEPA

SEPA is Scotland’s national flood forecasting, flood warning and strategic flood riskmanagement authority. SEPA has a statutory duty to produce Scotland's Flood RiskManagement Strategies. SEPA works closely with other organisations responsible formanaging flood risk through a network of partnerships and stakeholder groups to ensurethat a nationally consistent approach to flood risk management is adopted.

SEPA also has a responsibility to identify where in Scotland there is the potential for naturalflood management techniques to be introduced. Natural flood management is the use of thenatural features of the land to store and slow down the flow of water.

In running Floodline, SEPA provides live flooding information and advice on how to preparefor or cope with the impacts of flooding 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To help forecastfor flooding SEPA works closely with the Met Office.

To raise awareness of flooding at a national level, SEPA runs education initiatives,community engagement programmes and an annual campaign to promote the useful adviceand information available through Floodline. SEPA works in partnership with localauthorities, Neighbourhood Watch Scotland, Ready Scotland and others to share resourcesand help to promote preparedness and understanding of how flood risk is managed.

SEPA has a statutory role in relation to the provision of flood risk advice to planningauthorities. This role is expressed in Section 72 of the FRM Act, 2009. SEPA also has a duty toco operate with planning authorities in the preparation of development plans. Whenconsulted in relation to planning applications for development or site allocations indevelopment plans, and where the planning authority considers there may be a risk of

http://www.floodlinescotland.org.uk/



Page 148

flooding, SEPA will provide advice. The advice provided by SEPA will be with respect to therisk of flooding and on the basis of the relevant information it holds which is suitable forplanning purposes. It will also be in line with the principles and duties set out in the FRM Act.Further information about how SEPA engage in the planning system, including guidance onflood risk and planning is available on SEPA websitewww.sepa.org.uk/environment/land/planning

Local authorities

Local authorities work together for flood risk management planning purposes through asingle lead authority which has the responsibility to produce a Local Flood Risk ManagementPlan. Local authorities have been working collaboratively in the manner described above todevelop these.

It is the responsibility of your local authority to implement its flood protection actionsagreed within the Local Flood Risk Management Plan. You can help your local authority tomanage flooding by not dumping material on the banks of a watercourse and by lettingthem know if flood defences are tampered with.

During severe flooding, local authorities will work with the emergency services andcoordinate shelter for people evacuated from their homes.

The Lead Local Authority for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District is:

Glasgow City Council

Other local authorities who are responsible authorities for the Clyde and Loch Lomond LocalPlan District are:

Argyll and Bute District Council;

East Dunbartonshire Council;

East Renfrewshire Council;

Inverclyde Council;

North Lanarkshire Council;

Renfrewshire Council;

South Lanarkshire Council;

Stirling Council; and

West Dunbartonshire Council.

Page 149

Scottish Water

Scottish Water is a responsible authority for flood risk management and is working closelywith SEPA, local authorities and other responsible authorities to coordinate plans to manageflood risk.

Scottish Water has the public drainage duty and is responsible for foul drainage and thedrainage of rainwater run off from roofs and any paved ground surfaces from the boundaryof properties. Additionally, Scottish Water helps to protect homes from flooding caused bysewers either overflowing or becoming blocked. Scottish Water is not responsible for privatepipework or guttering within the property boundary.

National Park

The two National Park Authorities, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authorityand Cairngorms National Park, were designated as responsible authorities for flood riskmanagement purposes in 2013. Both have worked with SEPA, local authorities and ScottishWater to help develop Flood Risk Management Strategies and Local Flood Risk ManagementPlans. They also fulfil an important role in land use planning, carrying out or grantingpermission for activities that can play a key role in managing and reducing flood risk. LochLomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority is a responsible authority for the Clydeand Loch Lomond Local Plan District.

Forestry Commission Scotland

Forestry Commission Scotland was designated in 2013 as a responsible authority for floodrisk management planning purposes and has engaged in the development of the Local FloodRisk Management Plan. This reflects the widely held view that forestry can play a significantrole in managing flooding.

Other organisations

The Scottish Government oversees the implementation of the Flood Risk Management(Scotland) Act 2009 which requires the production of Flood Risk Management Strategiesand Local Flood Risk Management Plans. Scottish Ministers are responsible for settingthe policy framework for how organisations collectively manage flooding in Scotland.

Scottish Natural Heritage has provided general and local advice in the development ofthis Flood Risk Management Strategies. Flooding is seen as a natural process that canmaintain the features of interest at many designated sites, so Scottish Natural Heritagehelps to ensure that any changes to patterns of flooding do not adversely affect theenvironment. Scottish Natural Heritage also provides advice on the impact of FloodProtection Schemes and other land use development on designated sites and species.

During the preparation of the first flood risk management plans Network Rail andTransport Scotland have identified works to address flooding at a number of frequentlyflooded sites. Further engagement is planned with SEPA and local authorities to identifyareas of future work. There is the opportunity for further works to be undertaken duringthe first flood risk management planning cycle although locations for these works areyet to be confirmed.

Page 150

Utility companies have undertaken site specific flood risk studies for their primary assetsand have management plans in place to mitigate the effects of flooding to their assetsand also minimise the impacts on customers.

The Met Office provides a wide range of forecasts and weather warnings. SEPA and theMet Office work together through the Scottish Flood Forecasting Service.

The emergency services provide emergency relief when flooding occurs and cancoordinate evacuations. You should call the emergency services on 999 if you areconcerned about your safety or the safety of others and act immediately on any adviceprovided.

Historic Environment Scotland considers flooding as part of their regular siteassessments. As such, flooding is considered as one of the many factors which informthe development and delivery of its management and maintenance programmes.

The Scottish Flood Forum is a Scottish charitable organisation that provides support forthose who are affected by, or are at risk of, flooding. It provides flood advice,information, awareness, education and training to individuals and communities to helpreduce the risk of flooding; in partnership with the local authority, provides supportduring the recovery process following a flood incident and aims to support thedevelopment of resilient communities.

Page 151

Annex 3: Consultation and engagement

From 22 December 2014 a national consultation on the current state of knowledge of floodrisk across Scotland and what the potential solutions might be, was undertaken with thepublic on the work carried out to develop draft Flood Risk Management Strategies and LocalFlood Risk Management Plans.

The consultation was run jointly between SEPA and local authorities and involved thepublication of draft information that is contained in the strategies and local plans. Theconsultation was carried out in 2 phases:

Phase 1 commenced on 22 December 2014 and initially provided a summary of the mainsources and impacts of flooding.

Phase 2 commenced on 2 March 2015 when the proposed initial objectives to managethe identified flood risk were made available alongside a short list of potential measures,as well as information on the draft local flood risk management plans.

There was an opportunity to comment on the all the information provided between 2 Marchand 2 June 2015. The responses helped to form the final Strategies and Plans.

The final Flood Risk Management Strategies for 14 Local Plan Districts were approved by theScottish Government and published by SEPA in December 2015. Further information isavailable on the SEPA website here http://apps.sepa.org.uk/FRMStrategies/

Following publication of the Flood Risk Management Strategies by SEPA, the Clyde and LochLomond local authorities undertook a range of engagement activities through February andearly March 2016 to raise awareness of the Clyde and Loch Lomond Flood Risk ManagementStrategy, flood risk within the local authority area, as identified in the SEPA Flood Mapsavailable here http://map.sepa.org.uk/floodmap/map.htm and inform the developmentof the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Flood Risk Management Plan. The objective of thisactivity was to ensure a greater awareness of these key documents, particularly for thosecommunities identified as at risk of flooding. Further details of the activities beingundertaken are available from each Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Authority. No changeswere made to the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Flood Risk Management Plan in light of theviews and representations received.

There will be ongoing engagement both with raising public awareness of the Plan and itsapproaches to managing or reducing flood risk, and as part of the process of deliveringActions.

Annex 5: Supporting information

Sources of flooding described in this Plan

The Local Flood Risk Management Plan addresses the risk of flooding from rivers, the coastand surface water. The risk of flooding from rivers is usually due to rainfall causing a river torise above bank level spreading out and inundating adjacent areas. Coastal flooding is wherethe risk is from the sea. Sea levels can change in response to tidal cycles or atmosphericconditions. Over the longer term sea levels and coastal flood risk may change due to climatechange. Surface water flooding happens when rainwater does not drain away through thenormal drainage systems or soak into the ground, but lies on or flows over the groundinstead.

There can be interactions between these sources of flooding, and the Actions set out in thisPlan take this into account.

The following aspects of flooding have not been incorporated into this Plan:

Groundwater is generally a contributing factor to flooding rather than the primarysource. It is caused by water rising up from underlying rocks or flowing from springs.

Reservoir breaches have been assessed under separate legislation (Reservoirs (Scotland)Act 2011). Further information and maps can be found on SEPA’s website.

The Flood Risk Management Act (Scotland) 2009 does not require SEPA or responsibleauthorities to assess or manage coastal erosion. However, SEPA has includedconsideration of erosion in the Flood Risk Management Strategies by identifying areasthat are likely to be susceptible to erosion and where erosion can exacerbate flood risk.As part of considering where actions might deliver multiple benefits, SEPA has looked tosee where the focus of coastal flood risk management studies coincides with areas ofhigh susceptibility to coastal erosion. Subsequent detailed studies and scheme designwill need to consider how coastal erosion in these areas.

Coastal flood modelling. The information on coastal flooding used to set objectives andidentify actionsis based on SEPA modelling using simplified coastal processes andflooding mechanisms at work during a storm. Wave overtopping cannot be accuratelymodelled at a national scale due to the importance of local factors such as prevailingwind conditions, the depth and profile of the near shore sea bed or the influence of anyexisting defences or management structures. As a result, coastal flood risk may beunderestimated in some areas. Conversely, in locations with wide and flat floodplains,the modelling may overestimate flood risk. To address this, in a number of locationswhere more detailed local models were available they have been incorporated into thedevelopment of the Flood Risk Management Strategies. Where wave overtopping hasbeen specifically identified as a concern – but where no further detailed modelling isavailable – particular compensation has been made in the selection of appropriateactions to address coastal flood risk.

Commonly used terms

Below are explanatory notes for commonly used terms in flood risk management. A glossaryof terms is also available.

Reference to flood risk. During the development of the Strategy and Plan, flood risk hasbeen assessed over a range of likelihoods. For consistency in reporting information,unless otherwise stated, all references to properties or other receptors being ‘at risk offlooding’ refer to a medium likelihood flood (up to a 1 in 200 chance of flooding in anygiven year). By exception, references will be made to high or low risk flooding, whichshould be taken to mean a 1 in 10 chance/likelihood or 1 in 1000 chance/likelihood offlooding in any given year respectively.

Likelihood of Flooding Return PeriodAnnual Exceedance Probability

(chance of event occurring in any one year)

High 10 year 10%

Medium 200 year 0.5%

Low 1000 year 0.1%

Annual Average Damages have been used to assess the potential economic impact offlooding within an area. Depending on its size or severity each flood will cause adifferent amount of damage to a given area. Annual Average Damages are thetheoretical average economic damages caused by flooding when considered over a verylong period of time. It does not mean that damage will occur every year: in many yearsthere will be no damages, in some years minor damages and in a few years majordamages may occur.High likelihood events, which occur more regularly, contribute proportionally more toAnnual Average Damages than rarer events. Annual Average Damages incorporateeconomic damages to the following receptors: residential properties, non residentialproperties, vehicles, emergency services, agriculture and roads. They have beencalculated based on the principles set out in the Flood Hazard Research Centre MultiColoured Handbook (2010).

Flood risk management planning process

Flood risk management in Scotland aims to manage flooding in a sustainable way.Sustainable flood risk management considers where floods are likely to occur in the futureand takes action to reduce their impact without moving the problem elsewhere. It considersall sources of flooding, whether from rivers, the sea or from surface water. It delivers actionsthat will meet the needs of present and future generations whilst also protecting andenhancing the environment.

The sustainable approach to managing flood risk works on a six year planning cycle,progressing through the key stages outlined below.

Identifying priority areas at significant flood risk

The first step to delivering a risk based, sustainable and plan led approach to flood riskmanagement was SEPA’s National Flood Risk Assessment, which was published in 2011. Theassessment considered the likelihood of flooding from rivers, groundwater and the sea, aswell as flooding caused when heavy rainfall is unable to enter drainage systems or the rivernetwork. The likelihood of flooding was examined alongside the estimated impact onpeople, the economy, cultural heritage and the environment. It significantly improved ourunderstanding of the causes and consequences of flooding, and identified areas mostvulnerable to floods.

Potentially Vulnerable Areas and Local Plan Districts

Based on the National Flood Risk Assessment, SEPA identified areas where flooding wasconsidered to be nationally significant. These areas are based on catchment units as it iswithin the context of the wider catchment that flooding can be best understood andmanaged. These nationally significant catchments are referred to as Potentially VulnerableAreas.

In Scotland, 243 Potentially Vulnerable Areas were identified. They are estimated to contain92% of the total number of properties at risk.

A small number of Candidate Potentially Vulnerable Areas were identified after the NationalFlood Risk Assessment in light of new information that warranted further assessment andappraisal. They are included in the flood risk management planning process. The NationalFlood Risk Assessment will be updated to inform each subsequent planning cycle.

For flood risk management purposes, Scotland was divided into 14 Local Plan Districts. EachLocal Plan District will have a Flood Risk Management Strategy and a Local Flood RiskManagement Plan.

Improving the understanding of flooding

SEPA developed flood hazard and flood risk maps between 2012 and 2014. These mapsimproved the understanding of flooding and helped inform the subsequent selection ofactions to manage flood risk in Potentially Vulnerable Areas. The flood hazard maps showinformation such as the extent of flooding, water level, as well as depth and velocity whereappropriate. The flood risk maps provide detail on the impacts on people, the economy,cultural heritage and the environment.

Page 156

In 2012 SEPA also developed an assessment of the potential for natural flood management.The assessment produced the first national source of information on where natural floodmanagement actions would be most effective within Scotland.

Flood hazard and flood risk maps and the assessment of the potential for natural floodmanagement can be viewed on the SEPA website www.sepa.org.uk.

Identifying objectives and selecting actions

The objectives and actions to manage flooding will provide the long term vision and practicalsteps for delivering flood risk management in Scotland.

Working collaboratively with local partnerships, SEPA has agreed the objectives foraddressing the main flooding impacts. Actions that could deliver these agreed objectiveshave been appraised for their costs and benefits to ensure the right combinations areidentified and prioritised. The actions considered in the development of this strategy includestructural actions (such as building floodwalls, restoring flood plains, or clearance and repairworks to rivers) and non structural actions (such as flood warning, land use planning orimproving our emergency response). Structural and non structural actions should be usedtogether to manage flood risk effectively.

An assessment of the potential for natural flood management was used to help identifyopportunities for using the land and coast to slow down and store water. Natural floodmanagement actions were recommended in areas where they could contribute to themanagement of flood risk. In such instances these actions were put forward as part of floodprotection or natural flood management studies.

Lead local authority

The FRM Act requires a lead local authority to be identified for each Local Plan District. Thelead local authority is crucial to the successful implementation of the FRM Act and, as such,must perform several important functions over and above the general duties and powersgiven to local authorities elsewhere in the FRM Act.

The lead local authority, having contributed with other local authorities to the production ofthe Flood Risk Management Strategy, must prepare a Local Flood Risk Management Plan ofco ordinated actions to reduce flood risk within the Local Plan District. Although the leadlocal authority is responsible for the production of the plan, its content will be drawn fromand agreed by all local authorities, other responsible authorities and SEPA within the LocalPlan District.

Surface Water Management Plans

A Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is a best practice plan which outlines thepreferred surface water management strategy in a given location. In this context surfacewater flooding describes flooding from sewers, drains, groundwater, and runoff from land,small water courses and ditches that occurs as a result of heavy rainfall.

A SWMP study is undertaken in consultation with key local partners who are responsible forsurface water management and drainage in their area. Partners work together to

Page 157

understand the causes and effects of surface water flooding and agree the most costeffective way of managing surface water flood risk for the long term. The process of workingtogether as a partnership is designed to encourage the development of innovative solutionsand practices.

A SWMP should establish a long term action plan to manage surface water in an area andshould influence future capital investment, drainage maintenance, public engagement andunderstanding, land use planning, emergency planning and future developments.

The UK Government SWMP guidance seeks to provide a simplified overarching framework,which allows different organisations to work together and develop a shared understandingof the most suitable solutions to surface water flooding problems. The SWMP guidance hasbeen written for local authorities to assist them as they co ordinate and lead local flood riskmanagement activities.

Integrated Catchment Studies

Integrated Catchment Studies (ICS) are led by Scottish Water in partnership with localauthorities and SEPA. These studies will improve knowledge and understanding of theinteractions between the above ground and below ground drainage network e.g. with thesewer network, watercourses and (where appropriate) the sea. This will improve theunderstanding of contributions these drainage networks play in local surface water floodrisk.

Five ICS’s were undertaken in Scotland during SR10 (2010 2015), to Modelling and Flood RiskAssessment stage, which have provided a fuller understanding of the sources andmechanisms of flooding across these catchments. These studies are expected to undertakean Optioneering phase between 2015 2021. This will identify the actions to reduce flood riskacross the catchments, with the outputs feeding into the Local Authority led Surface WaterManagement Planning process.

Fifteen ICS’s will begin in Scotland during SR15 (2015 2021). These studies will go throughthe Scoping and Modelling phases, which culminates in defining the sources andmechanisms of flooding in the catchment, and an understanding of the impacts of thatflooding. It is expected that the ICS partnerships will remain and it is anticipated that theOptioneering phase for these studies will be initiated directly after the preceding phases.

Within this Local Plan District, ICS’s are being carried out in the following areas; Inverclyde(including Greenock and Port Glasgow), Erskine (including Inchinnan and Linwood) and EastKilbride.

Natural flood management assessment and mapping of artificial and natural features

The new approach to Flood Risk Management requires SEPA to consider whether techniquesthat restore, enhance or alter natural features and characteristics can contribute tomanaging flood risk. This means looking at the potential to work with natural hydrologicaland morphological processes.

Page 158

Because the National Flood Risk Assessment provides only a strategic assessment of floodrisk, further refined assessments may be required in Potentially Vulnerable Areas, includingthe mapping of artificial and natural features whose removal could increase flood risk.

The development of catchment characteristics and methodologies, to assess the potentialfor natural flood management, commenced in 2012 alongside work to identify natural floodmanagement actions, that could contribute to the management of flood risk. Theinformation was published in 2013. The assessment of natural flood management was aconsideration in the setting of objectives and actions in the Flood Risk ManagementStrategies. In January 2016 SEPA published the Natural Flood Management Handbook toprovide practitioners with information on how best to implement natural flood managementmeasures.

Flood hazard and flood risk maps

The production of flood hazard and flood risk maps has improved our understanding offlooding and helped inform the selection of actions required to manage flood risk inPotentially Vulnerable Areas. Work on production of these maps began in January 2012.These maps show details of flood events for a range of probabilities and cover flooding fromrivers, the sea, sewers, surface water run off and groundwater.

A flood hazard map shows information that describes the nature of a flood, such as theextent of flooding, water level, depth and velocity where appropriate.

A flood risk map provides detail on the impacts on people, the economy, cultural heritageand the environment.

Further information regarding the development of the flood maps and providing a link to themaps, is available online on the SEPA website here –http://www.sepa.org.uk/environment/water/flooding/flood maps/

Glossary

Actions Actions describe where and how flood risk will be managed. These actions havebeen set by SEPA and agreed with flood risk management authorities following consultation.Selection of actions to deliver the agreed objectives has been based on a detailedassessment and comparison of economic, social and environmental criteria. The FRM Actuses the term ‘measures’ rather than ‘actions’.

Annual Average Damages (AAD) Depending on its size or severity, each flood will cause adifferent amount of damage to a flood prone area and we can calculate the cost of thisdamage. Annual Average Damages for an area are the average costs per year that wouldoccur from flooding over a very long period of time. Scottish figures have been calculatedbased on the method set out in the Flood Hazard Research Centre’s Multi ColouredHandbook (2010).

Appraisal Appraisal is the process of defining objectives, examining options and weighingup the costs, benefits, risks and uncertainties before a decision is made. The FRM Strategyappraisal method is designed to set objectives and identify the most sustainablecombination of actions to tackle flooding from rivers, sea and surface water.

Awareness Raising Public awareness, participation and community support are essentialcomponents of sustainable flood risk management. SEPA and the responsible authoritieshave a duty to raise public awareness of flood risk. This is undertaken both individually andcollaboratively by a range of organisations. Improved awareness of flood risk and actionsthat prepare individuals, homes and businesses for flooding can reduce the overall impact.

Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) A benefit cost ratio summarises the overall value for money of anaction or project. It is expressed as the ratio of benefits to costs (both expressed as presentvalue monetary values). A ratio of greater than 1:1 indicates that the economic benefitsassociated with an action are greater than the economic costs of implementation; thereforethis is taken as the threshold of economic viability. It should be acknowledged that it is notalways possible to accurately estimate economic values for all elements of benefit, and BCRis just one of a number of techniques used in appraisal.

Candidate Potentially Vulnerable Area – A small number of Candidate PotentiallyVulnerable Areas were identified after the National Flood Risk Assessment in light of newinformation that warranted further assessment and appraisal. They are included in the floodrisk management planning process. The National Flood Risk Assessment will be updated toinform each subsequent planning cycle.

Catchment – The area of land drained by a drainage system – either natural or piped.

Category (CAT) 1 and 2 Responders – As defined by the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.Category 1 responders are ‘core’ responders: local authorities, police, fire and rescueservices, ambulance service, NHS health boards, SEPA and the Maritime and CoastguardAgency. Category 2 responders are key co operating responders in support of Category 1responders. These include gas and electricity companies, rail and air transport operators,harbour authorities, telecommunications providers, Scottish Water, the Health and SafetyExecutive and NHS National Services Scotland.

Coastal Flooding – Flooding that results from sea level rise from a combination of high tidesand stormy conditions. The term coastal flooding is used under the Flood Risk Management(Scotland) Act 2009, but in some areas it is also referred to as tidal flooding and covers areassuch as estuaries and river channels that are influenced by tidal flows.

Combined Sewer Combined sewers transport foul sewage from homes and industry as wellas carrying surface water runoff from gutters, drains and some highways. Heavy orprolonged rainfall can rapidly increase the flow in a combined sewer until the amount ofwater exceeds sewer capacity.

Combined Sewer Overflow Combined sewer overflows are purposely designed structuresto ensure any excess water from sewerage systems is discharged in a controlled way and ata specific managed location.

Confluence Where two or more rivers meet.

Conveyance Conveyance is a measure of the carrying capacity of a watercourse. Increasingconveyance enables flow to pass more rapidly and reducing conveyance slows flow down.Both actions can be effective in managing flood risk depending on local conditions.

Cultural Heritage Site Sites of particular cultural significance may be designated. Thehighest level of designation is a World Heritage Site. Historic Environment Scotlandmaintains lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest; these buildings arereferred to as ‘listed buildings’.

Culvert A pipe, channel or tunnel used for the conveyance of a watercourse or surfacedrainage water under a road, railway, canal or other obstacle.

Damages Flood damages are categorised as direct or indirect i.e. as a result of the floodwater itself, or subsequent knock on effects. Damage to buildings and contents caused byflood water are an example of direct damages, whilst loss of industrial production, traveldisruption or stress and anxiety are indirect. Some damages can be quantified in monetaryterms, and others can only be described. The potential damages avoided by implementationof a flood risk management action are commonly referred to as the benefits of that action.When comparing the effectiveness of different actions, it is useful to consider estimateddamages and damages avoided across the lifespan of the action. Within the FRM Strategies,a 100 year appraisal period has been used as standard. This allows costs, damages andbenefits across this time frame to be compared in present value terms. See also ‘AnnualAverage Damages’.

Economic Impact An assessment of the economic value of the positive and negative effectsof flooding and / or the actions taken to manage floods.

Embankment – A flood embankment is an engineered earthfill structure designed to containhigh river levels or protect against coastal flooding. They are commonly grass covered, butmay need additional protection against erosion by swiftly flowing water, waves orovertopping.

Emergency Plans / Response Emergency response plans are applicable for all types offlooding. They set out the steps to be taken during flooding in order to maximise safety andminimise impacts where possible. Under the Civil Contingencies Act, Category 1 Responders

Page 162

have a duty to maintain emergency plans. Emergency plans may also be prepared byindividuals, businesses, organisations or communities.

Environmental Impact A change in the environment as a result of an action or activity.Impacts can be positive or negative and may vary in significance, scale and duration.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) A process which identifies the potentialenvironmental impacts, both negative and positive, of a proposal.

Estuary A coastal body of water usually found where a river meets the sea; the part of theriver that is affected by tides.

Flood In the terms of the FRM Act, ‘flood’ means a temporary covering by water, from anysource, of land not normally covered by water. This does not include a flood solely from asewerage system, as a result of normal weather or infrastructure drainage. A flood can causesignificant adverse impacts on people, property and the environment.

Flood Bund A constructed retaining wall, embankment or dyke designed to protect againstflooding to a specified standard of protection.

Flood defence Infrastructure, such as flood walls, embankments or flood storage intendedto protect an area against flooding to a specified standard of protection.

Flood Extent The area that has been affected by flooding, or is at risk of flooding from oneor more sources for a particular likelihood.

Flood Frequency The probability that a particular size/severity of flood will occur in a givenyear (see likelihood).

Flood Hazard In terms of the FRM Act, hazard refers to the characteristics (extent, depth,velocity) of a flood.

Flood Hazard Map Flood hazard maps are required by the FRM Act to show informationthat describes the nature of a flood in terms of the source, extent, water level or depth and,where appropriate, velocity of water. Flood hazard and risk maps are referred to collectivelyas flood maps and are available on the SEPA website.

Flood Prevention / Protection Scheme A flood protection scheme, as defined by the FRMAct, is a scheme by a local authority for the management of flood risk within the authorityarea. This includes defence measures (flood prevention schemes) formerly promoted underthe Flood Prevention (Scotland) Act 1961.

Flood Protection Study Flood protection studies aim to refine understanding of the hazardand risk associated with flooding in a particular area, catchment or coastline. They willinvolve detailed assessment of flood hazard and / or risk and may develop options formanaging flood risk.

Flood Protection Works Flood protection works can include the same flood defencemeasures that would make up a formal Flood Protection Scheme but without the legalprocess, protections and requirements that would come by delivering the works as ascheme.

Page 163

Flood Risk A measure of the combination of the likelihood of flooding occurring and theassociated impacts on people, the economy and the environment.

Flood Risk Assessment Flood Risk Assessments are detailed studies of an area where floodrisk may be present. These are often used to inform planning decisions, may help to developflood schemes and have also contributed to the National Flood Risk Assessment.

Flood Risk Management Strategy Sets out a long term vision for the overall reduction offlood risk. Contains a summary of flood risk in each Local Plan District, together withinformation on catchment characteristics and a summary of objectives and actions forPotentially Vulnerable Areas.

Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 (FRM Act) The flood risk managementlegislation for Scotland. It transposes the EC Floods Directive into Scots Law and aims toreduce the adverse consequences of flooding on communities, the environment, culturalheritage and economic activity.

Flood Risk Management Cycle Under the FRM Act flood risk management planning isundertaken in six year cycles. The first planning cycle is 2015 – 2021. The first delivery cycleis lagged by approximately 6 months and is from 2016 2022.

Flood Warning Scheme A flood warning scheme is the network of monitoring on a coastalstretch or river, which provides SEPA with the ability to issue Flood Warnings.

Floodplain Area of land that borders a watercourse, an estuary or the sea, over whichwater flows in time of flood, or would naturally flow but for the presence of flood defencesand other structures where they exist.

Floodplain Storage Floodplains naturally store water during high flows. Storage can beincreased through natural or man made features to increase flood depth or slow flows inorder to reduce flooding elsewhere.

Green (Blue Green) Infrastructure The European Commission defines green infrastructureas “the use of ecosystems, green spaces and water in strategic land use planning to deliverenvironmental and quality of life benefits. It includes parks, open spaces, playing fields,woodlands, wetlands, road verges, allotments and private gardens. Green infrastructure cancontribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, natural disaster risk mitigation,protection against flooding and erosion as well as biodiversity conservation.”

Historic Environment Scotland The new lead public body for the country’s historicenvironment. It brings together Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancientand Historic Monuments of Scotland.

Habitats Regulations Appraisal The Habitats Regulations require competent authorities toassess certain plans or projects which affect Natura sites. Any development proposal, whichrequires planning permission or other consent, is a 'project' which may requireconsideration under the Habitats Regulations.

Land Use Planning – The process undertaken by public authorities to identify, evaluate anddecide on different options for the use of land, including consideration of long termeconomic, social and environmental objectives and the implications for differentcommunities and interest groups.

Lead Local Authority A local authority responsible for leading the production, consultation,publication and review of a Local Flood Risk Management Plan.

Local Development Plan – A Local Development Plan (LDP) provides the vision for howcommunities will grow and develop in the future. The intention is that they provide certaintyfor communities and investors alike about where development should take place and whereit should not and the supporting infrastructure required for growth. A LDP is required foreach council area across Scotland.

Local Flood Risk Management Plan Produced by lead local authorities, these will takeforward the objectives and actions set out in Flood Risk Management Strategies. They willprovide detail on the funding, timeline of delivery, arrangements and co ordination ofactions at the local level during each six year FRM planning cycle.

Local Plan District Geographical areas for the purposes of flood risk management planning.There are 14 Local Plan Districts in Scotland.

Local Plan District Partnerships Each Local Plan District has established a local partnershipcomprised of local authorities, SEPA, Scottish Water and others as appropriate. Thesepartnerships are distinct from the FRM Local Advisory Groups and they retain clearresponsibility for delivery of the FRM actions set out in the Local Flood Risk ManagementPlans. It is the local partnership that makes decisions and supports the delivery of theseplans.

Maintenance Sections 18 and 59 of the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 putduties of watercourse inspection, clearance and repair on local authorities. In addition, localauthorities may also be responsible for maintenance of existing flood protection schemes ordefences.

National Flood Risk Assessment (NFRA) A national analysis of flood risk from all sources offlooding which also considers climate change impacts. Completed in December 2011 thisprovides the information required to undertake a strategic approach to flood managementthat identifies areas at flood risk that require further appraisal. The NFRA will be reviewedand updated for the second cycle of FRM Planning by December 2018.

Natural Flood Management A set of flood management techniques that aim to work withnatural processes (or nature) to manage flood risk.

Non Residential Properties Properties that are not used for people to live in, such as shopsor other public, commercial or industrial buildings.

There were243 Potentially Vulnerable Areas identified by SEPA in the National Flood Risk Assessmentand these will be the focus of the first FRM planning cycle.

Property Level Protection Property level protection includes flood gates, sandbags andother temporary barriers that can be used to prevent water from entering individualproperties during a flood.

Page 165

Q&S Quality and Standards (Q&S) is the process, governing costs and outputs, throughwhich the planning and delivery of improvements by Scottish Water to the public drinkingwater and sewerage services in Scotland is carried out.

Receptor Refers to the entity that may be impacted by flooding (a person, property,infrastructure or habitat). The vulnerability of a receptor can be reduced by increasing itsresilience to flooding.

Residual Risk The risk that remains after risk management and mitigation. This may includerisk due to very severe (above design standard) storms or risks from unforeseen hazards.

Resilience The ability of an individual, community or system to recover from flooding.

Responsible Authority Designated under the FRM (Scotland) Act 2009 and associatedlegislation as local authorities, Scottish Water and, from 21 December 2013, the NationalPark Authorities and Forestry Commission Scotland. Responsible authorities, along withSEPA and Scottish Ministers, have specific duties in relation to their flood risk relatedfunctions.

Return Period A measure of the rarity of a flood event. It is the statistical average length oftime separating flood events of a similar size.

River Basin Management Planning (RBMP) The Water Environment and Water Services(Scotland) Act 2003 transposed the European Water Framework Directive into Scots law. TheAct created the River Basin Management Planning process to achieve environmentalimprovements to protect and improve our water environment. It also provided theframework for regulations to control the negative impacts of all activities likely to have animpact on the water environment.

Runoff Reduction Actions within a catchment or sub catchment to reduce the amount ofrunoff during rainfall events. This can include intercepting rainfall, storing water, divertingflows or encouraging infiltration.

Scottish Advisory and Implementation Forum for Flooding (SAIFF) The stakeholder forumon flooding set up by the Scottish Government to ensure legislative and policy aims are metand to provide a platform for sharing expertise and developing common aspirations andapproaches to reducing the impact of flooding on Scotland’s communities, environment,cultural heritage and economy.

Scottish Flood Forecasting Service SEPA operates a network of over 250 rainfall, river andcoastal monitoring stations throughout Scotland that generate data 24 hours a day. TheScottish Flood Forecasting Service is a joint initiative between SEPA and the Met Office thatproduces daily, national flood guidance statements which are issued to Category 1 and 2Responders. The flood guidance statements provide an assessment of the risk of flooding fora five day period allowing responders time to put preparations in place to reduce the impactof flooding. The service also provides information which allows SEPA to issue floodwarnings, giving people a better chance of reducing the impact of flooding on their home orbusiness. For more information please visit SEPA’s website.

Self Help Self help actions can be undertaken by any individuals, businesses, organisationsor communities at risk of flooding. They are applicable to all sources, frequency and scales offlooding. They focus on awareness raising and understanding of flood risk.

Site Protection Plans Site protection plans are developed to identify whether normaloperation of a facility can be maintained during a flood. This may be due to existingprotection or resilience of the facility or the network.

Site of Special Scientific Interest Sites protected by law under the Nature Conservation(Scotland) Act 2004 to conserve their plants, animals and habitats, rocks and landforms.

Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Strictly protected site designated under the EuropeanHabitats Directive. The Directive requires the establishment of a European network ofprotected areas which are internationally important for threatened habitats and species.

Strategic Environmental Assessment A process for the early identification and assessmentof the likely significant environmental effects, positive and negative, of activities. Oftenconsidered before actions are approved or adopted.

Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment is designed forthe purposes of specifically informing the Development Plan Process. A SFRA involves thecollection, analysis and presentation of all existing and readily available flood riskinformation (from any source) for the area of interest. It constitutes a strategic overview offlood risk.

Standard of protection (SoP) All flood protection structures are designed to be effective upto a specified flood likelihood (Standard of Protection). For events beyond this standard,flooding will occur. The chosen Standard of Protection will determine the required defenceheight and / or capacity.

Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) A plan that takes an integrated approach todrainage accounting for all aspects of urban drainage systems and produces long term andsustainable actions. The aim is to ensure that during a flood the flows created can bemanaged in a way that will cause minimum harm to people, buildings, the environment andbusiness.

Surface Water Plan / Study The management of flooding from surface water sewers,drains, small watercourses and ditches that occurs, primarily in urban areas, during heavyrainfall. FRM Strategy actions in this category include: Surface Water Management Plans,Integrated Catchment Studies and assessment of flood risk from sewerage systems (FRM ActSection 16) by Scottish Water. These have been selected as appropriate for each PotentiallyVulnerable Area.

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) A set of techniques designed to slow the flow ofwater. They can contribute to reducing flood risk by absorbing some of the initial rainfall andthen releasing it gradually, thereby reducing the flood peak and helping to mitigatedownstream problems. SuDS encourage us to take account of quality, quantity and amenity/ biodiversity.

Sustainable Flood Risk Management The sustainable flood risk management approachaims to meet human needs, whilst preserving the environment so that these needs can be

Page 167

met not only in the present, but also for future generations. The delivery of sustainabledevelopment is generally recognised to reconcile three pillars of sustainability –environmental, social and economic.

Surface Water Flooding Flooding that occurs when rainwater does not drain away throughthe normal drainage systems or soak into the ground, but lies on or flows over the groundinstead.

Vulnerability A measure of how likely someone or something is to suffer long term damageas a result of flooding. It is a combination of the likelihood of suffering harm or damageduring a flood and the ability to recover following a flood (resilience).
