Minutes:
RESOLVED:
That Cabinet:
1. Approves the adoption of the Hillingdon Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the Borough.
2. Authorises officers to publicise the report on the Council’s website and to notify all groups having a particular interest in it.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet approved the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for Hillingdon, a requirement of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, which had been updated to provide further information on the roles and responsibilities of flood risk management bodies and set out the Council’s aims and objectives in managing flood risk in the future to protect homes and businesses.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided not to adopt the Strategy and would therefore not comply with statutory requirements, leaving the Council open to financial penalties for non compliance, including reduced eligibility for flood grants.
Officer to action:
Vicky Boorman: Residents Services
Classification: Public
