Flood Risk Management Plan: Shetland Local Plan District consultation

Overview

This is the consultation hub for the Shetland Flood Risk Management Plan (previously called the flood risk management strategies) led by SEPA and the Shetland Local Flood Risk Management Plan, led by Shetland Islands Council. The consultation is being delivered in two phases.  

Phase one of the consultation opened on the 21 December 2020 with draft information for the flood risk management plans available for review. This consisted of background information for the Local Plan District and Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs) and identifies localised target areas. 

In phase two, opening on 30 July 2021, draft information on the flood risk management plan and local flood risk management plan will be available along with consultation questions. The information in phase two includes draft objectives and actions to manage flooding in target areas with additional detail on how and when the actions from the flood risk management plans will be delivered and coordinated locally. We encourage you to provide your views and shape the way that flood risk is managed in Scotland.
