Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Resources (Environment), Corporate Director of Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Acceptance of funding to the amount of
£245k of the Environment Agency Flood Grant in Aid funding to
enable scheme development through 2025/26 is authorised:
Project 1 – Derwent villages £120k
Project 2 – Kirkbymoorside £125k
Reasons for the decision:
The 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 will offer peace of mind to residents that in
adverse weather conditions their properties and themselves are
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.
Alternative options considered:
There are no further funding options available
to us at this moment, the project will be closely monitored to
ensure available funding is not exceeded.
