(KEY DECISION)

REASONS FOR DECISION:

The consultation exercise has informed the revised LLFRMS.

The existing LLFRMS was published in 2015 and required a full review. The updated documents address the changes required to align with the current national strategy and associated guidance and incorporate the recommendations of the Flooding Scrutiny Review Panel, previously considered by the Cabinet.
