ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES 1 DECEMBER 2022 LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PLANS – CYCLE 2 2022-28 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act (2009) (The Act) sets out a process for delivering a plan-led, risk-based approach to flood risk management in Scotland. The legislation requires all ‘responsible authorities’, as defined by the Act and Scottish Ministers, to work collaboratively to assess and agree a plan of measures or actions to reduce the risk of flooding in the most vulnerable areas in their Local Plan District (LPD). 1.2 Scottish Environment Protective Agency (SEPA) are responsible for developing Flood Risk Management Plans which provides the basis from which Lead Local Authorities (LLA) develop Local Flood Risk Management Plans (the LFRMP) identifying detail on what actions entail, who will undertake them and when they will be done. Although the SEPA Plan and the Local Plans are separate reports, much of the background information in each is the same. 1.3 The SEPA Plans for Cycle 2 (2022-2028) were approved by Scottish Ministers and published in December 2021. Local flood Risk Management Plans are due to be published by 31 December 2022. 1.4 Argyll and Bute Council is part of two Local Flood Risk Management Plan Districts Highland and Argyll Clyde and Loch Lomond (CaLL) 1.5 Members are asked to agree the content of the draft Highland and Argyll Local Flood Risk Management Plan Cycle 2 (See Appendix 3) to be published by Highland Council and recognise that Highland Council as Lead Local Authority has the statutory duty to publish before 31 December 2022. 1.6 Members are asked to note that Argyll and Bute Council Flooding Policy Lead will be invited to attend the Clyde and Loch Lomond LPD Joint Committee meeting to approve the CaLL LFRMP. The date of the committee is yet to be confirmed by the Lead Local Authority, Glasgow City Council. 1.7 Acceptance and publication of the LFRMP will commit Argyll and Bute Council to

delivery of the LFRMP. The Council cannot knowingly change priorities or reduce funding of flood risk management activities which would prevent the delivery of the actions in the Local Plan. Flood Protection Studies and Schemes are the most significant commitment within the Local Plan both financially and in terms of resource and the timescales for delivering these must be met. 1.8 Proposed schemes were submitted to SEPA in December 2019 as part of a national Flood Protection Schemes (FPS) prioritisation process. The outcome of this process is still to be published by SEPA. As part of the process additional grant funding has been sought from Scottish Government for the delivery of Flood Protection Schemes. Historically this has covered 80% of all eligible scheme costs, however at the current time it is unclear what the funding provisions will be. There is a high likelihood due to tender price increases in the Cycle 1 programme that schemes that have been put forward to the Scottish Government will not receive funding in Cycle 2. Progression with schemes is subject to success in the grant funding application process. The summary of schemes and studies which form the basis of the Local Flood Risk Management Plans are listed in this report in Appendix 2. These are subject to appropriate funding being in place from the Scottish Government and the Council. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee approves the content of the Highland and Argyll Local Flood Risk Management Plan allowing publication by the Lead Local Authorities (LLA) (The Highland Council) to take place by 31 December 2022. The Committee notes that the approval of the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Flood Risk Management Plans (LFRMP) will be agreed at the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District (LPD) Joint Committee. The Committee notes progression of the schemes and studies are subject to appropriate funding being in place from the Scottish Government and the Council.

ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES 1 DECEMBER 2022 LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT PLANS – CYCLE 2 2022-28 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Committee on Cycle 2 of the Highland and Argyll Local Flood Risk Management Plan and to seek their endorsement of the summary of actions identified to be taken forward by the Council, noting the status of the funding arrangements. 2.2 The Act requires the LFRMP to be published by each Lead Local Authority (LLA) by 31 December 2022. 2.3 Acceptance and publication of the Local Plan will commit Argyll and Bute Council to delivery of the Local Plan. The Council cannot knowingly change priorities or reduce funding of flood risk management activities which would prevent the delivery of the actions in the Local Plan. Flood Protection Studies and Schemes are the most significant commitment within the Local Plan both financially and in terms of resource and the timescales for delivering these must be met. 2.4 Additional grant funding has been sought from Scottish Government for the delivery of Flood Protection Schemes actioned in both LFRMP’s. 3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Committee approves the content of the Highland and Argyll Local Flood Risk Management Plan allowing publication by the Lead Local Authorities (LLA) (The Highland Council) to take place by 31 December 2022. The Committee notes that the approval of the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Flood Risk Management Plans (LFRMP) will be agreed at the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District (LPD) Joint Committee. The Committee notes progression of the schemes and studies are subject to appropriate funding being in place from the Scottish Government and the Council.

4.0 DETAIL 4.1 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 placed duties on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), Scottish Water, the National Park Authorities, Scottish Forestry and Local Authorities as “Responsible Authorities” to work together to reduce flood risk across the country. 4.2 SEPA are responsible for developing Flood Risk Management Plans (the ‘SEPA Plans’, formerly known as Strategies), which involved carrying out a National Flood Risk Assessment. The National Flood Risk Assessment (2018) developed by SEPA, defined a total of 235 Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) across Scotland. These PVAs provide a focus for all responsible authorities to fully understand the risk from all sources of flooding and agree planned measures to reduce that risk 4.3 SEPA Plans provide the basis from which Lead Local Authorities (LLA) develop the Local Flood Risk Management Plans (LFRMP’s) for each LPD. This is done by identifying the Objectives and Actions identified in the SEPA plans and who undertakes the Actions, and when they will be progressed is identified in the SEPA plan and confirmed in the LFRMP. 4.4 Argyll and Bute Council are partially responsible for producing two LFRMPs:- Highland and Argyll LFRMP led by The Highland Council Clyde and Loch Lomond LFRMP led by Glasgow City Council 4.5 Although the SEPA Plan and the LFRMP’s are separate reports, much of the background information in each is the same and significant partnership working among the responsible authorities has been carried out. 4.6 Both SEPA Plans and LFRMP’s operate in 6 year cycles. In December 2021 SEPA published the SEPA Plans which have now been approved by Scottish Ministers. The first cycle of ABC’s LFRMP’s started in June 2016 after approval by the EDI Committee in April 2016. Cycle 2 was due to be published in June 2022, however delays due to the Covid pandemic have resulted in a deferred publishing date of 31 December 2022. The Act requires the LFRMP’s to be published by each Lead Local Authority (LLA) by 31 December 2022. 4.7 Flood Protection Schemes identified in Cycle 1 of the LFRMPs for inclusion in Cycle 2 are as follows: Highland and Argyll Clachan Flood Protection Scheme Tarbert Flood Protection Scheme Lochgilphead Property Flood Resilience Scheme Oban Flood Protection Scheme Clyde and Loch Lomond Helensburgh Property Flood Resilience Scheme Kilcreggan Surface Water Drainage Scheme Sandhaven Flood Protection Scheme

Black Park, Dunoon Flood Protection Scheme See Appendix 2 for further details. 4.8 Proposed schemes were submitted to SEPA in December 2019 as part of a national FPS prioritisation process. The outcome of this process is still to be published by SEPA. As part of the process additional grant funding has been sought from Scottish Government for the delivery of Flood Protection Schemes. Historically this has covered 80% of all eligible scheme costs, however at the current time it is unclear what the funding provisions will be. There is a high likelihood due to tender price increases in the Cycle 1 programme that schemes that have been put forward to the Scottish Government will not receive funding in Cycle 2. Progression with schemes is subject to success in the grant funding application process. 4.9 Also identified in Cycle 2 are flood risk studies and shoreline management plans that are scheduled to be delivered within this cycle. These are expected to be completed using consultants, with Argyll and Bute Council’s Infrastructure Design Team managing these contracts and financed as detailed in Appendix 2. 5.0 IMPLICATIONS 5.1 Policy – Argyll and Bute Council Flood Risk Management Policy. 5.2 Financial – Projects identified will need to have appropriate capital funding made available. 5.3 Legal – Acceptance by Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee and all responsible authorities within the LPD to the Local Plan satisfies paragraph 34 of the Act. Completion of the Local Plan is achieved when the above is satisfied and the SEPA Plan is approved by Scottish Ministers. 5.4 HR – None. 5.5 Fairer Scotland Duty 5.5.1 Equalities – Protected characteristics – None. 5.5.2 Socio Economic Duty – None. 5.5.3 Islands – None. 5.6 Climate Change – The actions set out within the Local Plan take account of the impact of climate change. The Plans are designed to enable communities to adapt and be prepared for the risk of flooding through the predicted increase in storm events and rising sea levels. Sustainable development is promoted and managed through the Planning system. 5.7 Risk – There is a statutory deadline of 31 December 2022 that the LLA (The Highland Council) has to report progress with the Local Plan to Scottish Ministers. It is important therefore that Members appreciate that approval of the plan (as modified or agreed by Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee) is required to
Page 6
achieve the reporting programme set out in the legislation. 5.8 Customer Service – The actions set out within the Local Plan are designed to protect communities and make them more resilient to the risk of flooding.
