Property Flood Resilience is offered to all
eligible residents who meet the criteria, the identified properties
have either flooded or been identified as high risk of flooding
within the Environment Agency guidelines and the scheme will
improve living conditions for those flooding has affected. The
implementation of PFR (Property Flood Resilience) will offer peace
of mind to residents that in adverse weather conditions their
properties and themselves are better protected.
It is therefore considered appropriate to continue with the scheme
as intended, with regular relevant liaison through the engagement
channels established as part of the scheme.
All alternative options have been explored.
Property flood resilience is the preferred option see Appendix A
for full report.
