December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Louth Coastal Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Louth Coastal catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Louth Coastal CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England Trusthorpe Pumping Station in Mablethorpe. Breaching/ and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland failure of embankments that carry the main upland flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first rivers across the low lying area of the catchment could time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, cause significant flood risk. Surface water drainage and from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal sewer flooding can affect Louth and the coastal towns. flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea (coastal Parts of the Lincolnshire Wolds may be susceptible to flooding). This is covered by Shoreline Management groundwater flooding. Plans (SMPs). Our coverage of surface and groundwater We cannot reduce flood risk on our own. We will flooding is however limited due to a lack of available therefore work closely with all our partners to improve information. the co-ordination of flood risk activities. For example, The role of CFMPs is to establish flood risk management in parts of the catchment Internal Drainage Boards policies which will deliver sustainable flood risk (IDBs) have an important role in managing flood risk. management for the long term. This is essential if we are We will work in partnership with the IDBs to agree to make the right investment decisions for the future and the most effective way to manage flood risk in the to help prepare ourselves effectively for the impact of future. We also work with many other organisations, climate change. We will use CFMPs to help us target our groups and individuals with an interest in how flood limited resources where the risks are greatest. risk is managed. This includes local authorities, water companies, conservation bodies such as Natural This CFMP identifies flood risk management policies to England and the public. assist all key decision makers in the catchment.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
