Decision details

Resolved:

(i)             The Committee noted progress with both the Natural and Capital Flood Management programmes and the delays to some projects.

(ii)            The Committee noted the progress of the West Yorkshire Property Flood Resilience programme for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

(iii)          The Committee endorsed the revised approach for flood projects, the proposal to prioritise those projects that could commence delivery first, and the entry of two new projects onto the Capital Flood Risk Management programme pipeline set out in Appendix 2.

(iv)          The Committee delegated approval to the Director of Policing, Environment and Place, in consultation with the Chair of the Climate, Energy and Environment Committee, to conduct any future review and reprioritisation of projects on the Natural and Capital Flood Management pipelines, to accept new projects onto either programme, and to transfer projects that posed greater risks to either programme lower down the flood pipeline for consideration as part of any future investment programmes.
