Communities across England are set to be better protected against the impacts of flooding thanks to almost £3 million of government investment, Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey has announced.
Planning applications are twice as likely to be blocked or delayed due to sustainable drainage system (SuDS) design in England than in Wales, according to a new report published today by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Wavin.
The Ipswich Tidal Flood Barrier has won a top award from leading international engineering professional membership body the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), which supports more than 90,000 engineers worldwide.
The government has launched a call for evidence which will form the basis for future policies to protect people, businesses and the environment from the devastating effects of flooding and coastal erosion.
Work has started on a major Environment Agency flood scheme for the town of Burton-upon-Trent - the £30 million project will reduce flood risk for 5,500 properties currently facing possible flooding from the River Trent, including 4,500 homes and 1,000 businesses.
