Riparian landowners and flood risk
Riparian landowners have a responsibility to manage all flooding on their property.
As a landowner, you are not allowed to build any feature which could divert water and consequently increase flood risk elsewhere. Any structures require planning permission and Land Drainage Consent before construction can commence.
A flood defence asset is any feature on your property which may be important to protect from flooding. Where property is listed as an asset, permission must be sought before the asset is altered or removed, or before any work within 8 metres of the asset needs to commence.
