Description: LFAS2 will reduce the risk of flood 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 programme of natural flood management measures. The scheme will help stimulate economic growth and regeneration with the city as well as helping to address the current climate emergency.
