Summary of Progress Within PVA
There are approximately 20 residential properties and 10 non-residential properties at risk of flooding.  The
Annual Average Damages are approximately £29,000.”  Further information can be found in the Local Flood
Risk Management Plan under PVA 09/02.
There have been no significant weather events in this PVA since the publication of the Forth Local FRM
Plan.
Key Progress
• Perth and Kinross Council supports communities to become more resilient to flooding. The Council
has developed its website to provide more advice and information on flood risk management. The
Braco and Greenloaning Community Resilience Group has also been established in this area. 
• Perth and Kinross Council has not prioritised any specific measures in this area but will continue with
awareness raising activities when developing any proposals for the remaining actions set out in the
Forth Local Flood Risk Management Plan. The Council will also continue to carry out its other general
actions to manage flood risk, including inspections and any necessary maintenance of the
watercourses in the PVA.
• Following the second national flood risk assessment in late 2018, Braco will no longer be designated
as a PVA in the Cycle 2 Forth Local Flood Risk Management Plan as it has been re-assessed as
having a lower level of flood risk.

Individual  Ongoing Perth and Kinross Council supports communities to
become more resilient to emergency situations,
including flood events. Communities have been
engaged through the multi-agency Local Resilience
Partnership Community and Business Resilience
Group, led by the council. 
The Braco and Greenloaning Community Resilience
Group has been established in this area and an
emergency rest centre has been established as part
of the A9 Trunk Road Community Emergency Plan.
Perth and Kinross Council will continue to
support communities to become more
resilient to flooding. 
The council will also continue to support
communities to develop community
resilience groups and emergency plans.

2021, which recommended a flood protection scheme for the area. 
• Awareness Raising activities were carried out in conjunction with the completion of this study between
September and November 2021.
• Perth and Kinross Council supports communities to become more resilient to flooding. The Council has
developed its website to provide more advice and information on flood risk management. The Blackford
Community Resilience Group has also been established.

A flood protection study has been recommended
for Blackford to assess whether flood defences,
modification of conveyance, sediment
management and natural flood management
could reduce flood risk. The study also
investigated the viability of property level
protection. Natural flood management options that
will be considered including runoff control and
sediment management.
Perth &
Kinross
Council
2016 –
2021
The Blackford Flood Study was completed in
November 2021 and recommended a flood scheme
involving diversion channels, flood walls and
natural flood management measures. The
proposed scheme would protect a total of 38
properties, providing a 1 in 200-year standard of
flood protection. The study findings were
disseminated via the Council’s online consultation
hub and an online community meeting between
September and November 2021.  
This action is complete.
The delivery of the recommended flood
scheme is subject to prioritisation and
inclusion in the next Forth Local FRM Plan
and funding being made available. The
scheme may then proceed to outline design,
the statutory process required by the Flood
Act, detailed design, procurement and
construction.T
