Ayrshire draft flood risk management plans

Welcome to the consultation on the Ayrshire draft flood risk management plans (Local Plan District 12)

This consultation is open from 22 December 2014 until 02 June 2015. Information is available on how flooding should be managed, coordinated, funded and delivered, along with the consultation questions.

There is a large amount of information available in this consultation. We do not anticipate everyone will have an interest in all areas. Some will want to see information only for where they live or work. Others will want to consider flood risk management at a regional or national scale.

Scotland has been arranged into 14 Local Plan Districts. Each Local Plan District has its own consultation containing the following information, with associated questions:

• A short overview document defining the Local Plan District, the flood risk authorities involved and a summary of the flood risk.
• Local Plan District scale objectives and actions to tackle flooding.
• River, coastal and surface water flooding chapters, summarised separately for each Local Plan District.
• Potentially Vulnerable Area chapters containing; datasheets with information on the source and impact of flooding, and existing actions to manage flood risk; the initial objectives and actions suggested to manage flood risk; a delivery plan developed by the lead local authority that sets out the proposed timescales and funding arrangements for implementation.

Potentially Vulnerable Areas within each Local Plan District were identified and consulted upon in 2011. These are priority areas where the risk and impacts of flooding are agreed to be nationally significant and where the focus of identifying new actions to manage risk will be greatest.

The documents for this Local Plan District have been developed in partnership with

• North Ayrshire (Lead Local Authority), East Ayrshire, East Renfrew,  Renfrewshire and South Ayrshire Councils.
• Scottish Water
