River Peffery Flood Protection Study
Within the Highland and Argyll Local Flood Risk Management Plans there is an action for us to carry out a Flood Protection Study (FPS) (to also include a Natural Flood Management Study (NFMS)) for the entire River Peffery catchment.
Working with consultants CH2M, we have identified a combination of measures that will alleviate the risk of flooding to locations in Blairninich and Dingwall. The preferred option consists of meandering of existing channels, channel widening, a flood wall and new culverts.
Subject to Scottish Government funding and the outcome of national prioritisation of flood protection schemes, we should progress with the detailed design for the scheme.
