Formal Leeds City Council Section 19 Flooding Investigation Reports

The extent to which any particular flooding incident is formally investigated is determined on a case-by-case basis considering factors such as the likely source, duration, severity and impact of the particular flood event.

One of our duties as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) under the Flood and Water Management Act (FWMA) 2010, is to investigate significant flood events that occur within the district of Leeds, as deemed necessary.

Although the FWMA does not specify that the LLFA must resolve the flooding issue, the report will try to identify actions which may reduce the future likelihood of similar events occurring, or identify measures to mitigate the impacts of the flooding.

For all such formal investigations, the LLFA must investigate the cause of the flooding, publish the results of the investigation and notify any of the identified flood risk management authorities involved.
