What is the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy?
This Local Flood Risk Management Strategy is a high-level strategic document outlining Sutton’s approach to Flood Risk throughout the next 6 years.
Sutton as the Lead of the Local Flood Authority is required by the Flood and Water Management Act (2010) to develop, maintain, apply and monitor a Local Strategy for flood risk management.
The strategy explains how flood risk will be mitigated across Sutton, including a summary of the past and present flood risk. It also acknowledges the impacts of climate change and proposes measures to ensure that Sutton can be more resilient and sustainable in its flood risk management practices in the future.
