Regional flood and coastal committees
The National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy for England, Glossary, published by the Environment Agency in 2020, defines regional flood and coastal committees (RFCCs) as:
“Committees which were established by the Environment Agency under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 to bring together members appointed by government, the Environment Agency and lead local flood authorities. Section 23 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 requires the Environment Agency (the Agency) to:
- “Consult each RFCC about the way in which it proposes to carry out its flood and coastal erosion risk management functions in the committee’s region (Section 23(1)(a));
- “Take into account representations made by committees about the exercise of its flood and coastal erosion risk management functions in the committee’s region (Section 23(1)(b));
- “Obtain the consent of the RFCC before the Environment Agency can implement its regional programme for the committee’s region (Section 23(2));
- “Obtain the consent of the RFCC before the Environment Agency can issue a levy under Section 17 of the Act (Section 23(3));
- “Obtain the consent of the RFCC to the spending of revenue under Section 118 of the Water Resources Act 1991 in the region where the revenue is raised (Section 23(4)).”
