The 14 Flood Risk Management Strategies published by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in December 2015 set objectives and measures for the management of flood risk for potentially vulnerable areas. Local Flood Risk Management Plans, published in June 2022, set out in more detail how measures in the Strategies will be delivered. Flood Risk Management in Scotland is reviewed every six years and the current Strategies and Plans are valid until 2021 and 2022, respectively.
SEPA prioritised 42 flood protection schemes for inclusion within Flood Risk Management Strategies published in 2015. Local authorities are expected to start work on development of the 42 schemes prioritised in this cycle but it is recognised that construction work may not be completed within that six-year timeframe.
Flood protection schemes can have impacts on individuals, communities and the environment, and require careful and thorough planning.

(1) Note: Initial costs as provided by local authorities in 2016-17.
(2) Note: Final Scheme costs are the latest estimates provided by local authorities. Prioritisation occurs once every 6 years. As such, flood protections schemes and works are put forward for prioritisation at various stages of initial development. As further details become available through hydraulic modelling, site investigations etc. uncertainties are reduced and expected final costs will vary.
Schemes will only be taken forward for construction if they receive the necessary approvals so the expected completion date is not yet known.
More detailed information on each of the schemes can be obtained from the relevant Local Authorities.
