| Description: | LFAS2 will reduce the risk of flooding across Leeds using a catchment wide approach. The aim of the scheme is to deliver a 1 in 200 year level of protection (plus climate change allowance) through the use of linear flood defences, a large flood storage area and a flagship programme of Natural Flood Management measures. The scheme will help stimulate economic growth and regeneration within the city as well as responding to help address the current Climate Emergency. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 20/21-Q4, the DCA rating at 21/22-Q4 remained at Amber The project remains rated as amber, this is on the basis the project is progressing well overall, although construction of the Step 2 works are still at a relatively early stage. Unforeseen physical conditions have been encountered in the Step 2 area and while mitigation measures have been implemented, the construction works here have been delayed. The project has also been impacted by the extreme weather following the storms experienced late-February, the effects of which are currently being reviewed and assessed. The outcome of this assessment will be included in the next quarters submission and will also consider any further mitigation measures and opportunities to minimise programme impact. The overall design and construction works are approximately 50% through the programme. |
| Start date | 2016-09-01 |
| End date | 2024-10-18 |
| Schedule text | Compared to 2021-Q4, your project end-date remained scheduled to finish on 18 OCT 2024 This is primarily due to the following factors: Unforeseen physical conditions have been encountered in the Step 2 area and while mitigation measures have been implemented, the construction works here have been delayed. These works are on the critical path and as such the project end date has moved out by approximately 8 weeks. The project has also been impacted by the extreme weather following the storms experienced late-February, the effects of which are currently being reviewed and assessed. The outcome of this assessment will be included in the next quarters submission and will also consider any further mitigation measures and opportunities to minimise programme impact. The overall design and construction works are approximately 50% through the programme. |
| Baseline | £32.97m |
| Forecast | £27.00m |
| Variance | -18.00% |
| Variance text: | The budget variance exceeds 5%. The cashflow update for this year shows a total of £6m slipping from 2021/2022 to 2022/2023 reflecting progress on site and planned activities against a resource loaded programme. The forecast outturn position for the project remains unchanged. The reasons for cost slippage is the focus on up-front design activities and discharging planning conditions. In addition, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic have also contributed to the expenditure slippage. The overall programme has now been impacted by 8 weeks as a result of delays associated with unexpected ground conditions, the cost of which will be funded from the risk register provisions. |
| Whole Life Cost | £146.00m |
| WLCost text: | Compared to 2021-Q4,the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost remained at 146.37 (£m). This is primarily due to the following factors: Project costs have increased by £1.2m. This is a result of additional funding which has been sourced to assist with challenges currently being experienced in supply chain material price increases |
