25 Year Environment Plan
Position Statement
Chairman
Head of FCRM
FCRM Managers
Staff
We will take action to reduce the risk of harm from flooding and coastal erosion including greater use of natural flood management solutions
We will also focus on using more natural flood management solutions where appropriate
But where’s the leadership?
‘Natural flood management is an important part of our approach, alongside traditional flood defences and helping homeowners to improve their own property resilience’
‘Natural Flood Management is part of our Nation’s Flood Resilience’
Where NFM presents the most effective and viable approach to managing flood risk, we will choose such measures over traditional defences…
In all other circumstances, we will seek to use them in combination with hard defences …
Natural flood management is supported by area FCRM managers where it is part of all of the solution to flooding
Amazing projects delivered by you, your colleagues, partners, communities and consultants

East Midlands
My goal for future East Midlands’ flood alleviation
schemes is that, when thinking about potential
solutions, the starting point will be using natural
processes and identifying multiple benefits with
partners. It is only then that we will really be
creating a better place for our communities and
getting the best value for the taxpayer from our
investment.
