Water Framework Directive / Flood Risk Management
Water Framework Directive: • protect and improve• promote sustainable water use• contribute to the mitigation of floods and droughts• River Basin Planning• CAR extends 3NM for Discharges, Abstractions
and Impoundments; Engineering structures limited to freshwater
Flooding risk management:• High quality consistent data • Strategic direction on Flood Risk Management• Continued improvement to flood warning• Enhanced planning advice• Flood Risk Management Planning
Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)• Advice, data• Marine Planning

Vision
FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT ACT
…. a risk-based, sustainable and plan-led approach to managing floods - delivered at the catchment scale
![Page 17: David Harley Water and Land Manager - SEPA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814491550346895db12ec0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Consultation - milestone
• A first for Scotland – first national assessment; all sources of flooding
• First step to improving public investment – targeting expenditure, ensuring investment precedes flooding
• SEPA is delivering its new responsibilities to advise government and local authorities

• 14 Local Plan Districts
• Each LPD requires:- FRM Strategy (objectives with appraised measures) - Local FRM Plan with agreed, funded and timetabled actions
FRM Planning Framework

Flooding
RBMP
The catchment approach - why?
• SEPA competent authority for both/expectation from Government and stakeholders
• Reduce risk of conflict
• Highlight opportunities to deliver for both
• Reduce burden on stakeholders
![Page 23: David Harley Water and Land Manager - SEPA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814491550346895db12ec0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Flooding
RBMP
How?
• AAG boundaries and FRM local plan districts to align where possible
• Pilots
• Timelines considered together
• Consultation and engagement co-ordinated
• Emphasis on multiple benefit projects
![Page 24: David Harley Water and Land Manager - SEPA](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56814491550346895db12ec0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Adding marine planning into the mix!
• Need to coordinate RBMP/FRM with regional marine plans
• Marine Planning Partnership representation on RBMP and FRM advisory groups and vice versa
• SEPA role similar to our engagement with land use planning system
• Marine plans should reflect the objectives of WFD and FRM and vice versa.
• Catchment approach
