Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
An additional application for £326,000 of the Environment Agency Grant in Aid funding to enable the Upper Dales Flood Alleviation Scheme development during 2025-2026 has been authorised for submission.
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 piece 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.
Not for call-in as implementation of an earlier call-in decision applies.
The other option would be not to apply for the additional funding but this was discounted as it would mean no Grant in Aid funding would be available to enable the Upper Dales Flood Alleviation Scheme development during 2025-2026.
