December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Kent Leven Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Kent Leven catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Kent Leven CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England across the CFMP area at risk from main river flooding. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed About 33% of these properties are in Kendal, and inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for a further 39% in the rural villages of Grasmere, the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland Ambleside, Windermere and Coniston. Ulverston flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water has 7% of the properties at risk.

  • Cumbria Flood Action Plan
    Working with the Cumbria Floods Partnership Cumbria flood action plan LIT- 10473 Version 1 June 2016 Introduction Flooding is devastating. The 6,300 householders and businesses across Cumbria flooded in December have spent much of the last 6 months dealing with its effects. The Environment Agency and its partners have and continue to work hard to repair damaged infrastructure and help ensure Cumbria is better protected and prepared for the coming winter and for the future. At the same time we have formed the Cumbria Floods Partnership. This has created a framework for communities, public, private and third sector organisations to work together. It has focussed on doing more with the money that is invested by doing things differently. This document, the Cumbria flood action plan is the first step to developing an action plan covering the Eden, Derwent and Kent and Leven catchments. It provides an overview of on-going work, new actions, information and evidence gathered since December 2015. The Environment Agency, working with the Cumbria Floods Partnership and communities across Cumbria, has collated the action plan. We have held meetings and workshops to identify actions, understand priorities and bring together the most up-to-date information and evidence. While this action plan focuses on the 3 catchments most severely impacted by the December 2015 storms, investment in flood resilience and water management continues to be made across the whole of Cumbria. Alongside the initial short term actions, we also include longer-term actions to reduce flood risk and manage water in the future. The plan comprises three parts: A short document that sets out what has been done since December, what further work will happen before winter and a summary of the actions from this document.
