As the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) for Surrey, we are responsible for publishing a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (PDF). This document sets out how we manage the risk of flooding across the county.
The County Council is designated as LLFA under the Flood and Water Management Act (2010). The Act states that an LLFA has a duty to "develop, maintain, apply and monitor a Strategy for local flood risk management in its area".
Flood Strategy Refresh
Our current Local Flood Risk Management Strategy covers the period 2017 to 2032. The National Flood Risk Management Strategy was updated in July 2020. Surrey County Council are in the process of updating our Local Strategy to be consistent with the National Strategy. The updated Strategy document will be published to this webpage when it is complete.
If you have any questions regarding the Strategy, or wish to view it in an accessible format, please contact us via flooding.enquiries@surreycc.gov.uk.
Flood Impact Report
In order to demonstrate how the Surrey Flood Risk Partnership Board is meeting the objectives of our strategy, we have produced the Impact Report for the Surrey Local Flood Risk Management Strategy 2023 to 2024 (PDF). This report will be updated after the end of each financial year.
