Announcement of adoption of the Northumbria river basin district (RBD) flood risk management plan (FRMP).

The adopted Northumbria river basin district flood risk management plan
The UK government adopted the Northumbria RBD FRMP on 12 December 2022.
The Environment Agency has worked together with lead local flood authorities and other risk management authorities to produce FRMPs.
FRMPs are strategic plans that set out how to manage flood risk in nationally identified flood risk areas for the period 2021-2027, and are statutory plans required by the Flood Risk Regulations 2009.
Statement of environmental particulars
The Environment Agency carried out a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as part of the development of the FRMP. This ensured environmental effects were taken into account when developing the FRMP.
The SEA environmental report provides further information about the SEA and its findings. Please contact the Environment Agency National Customer Contact Centre to request a copy of the SEA environmental report.
The Environment Agency have prepared a statement of environmental particulars of the FRMP as required by the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 (as amended).
The statement of environmental particulars sets out:
- how we have integrated environmental considerations into the FRMP
- how we have considered the findings of the SEA

- the reasons for selecting the FRMP as adopted
