The Environment Agency completed 57 nationally managed projects on fluvial and coastal flooding between 1 April 2008 and 28 February 2009 of which 34 were funded or part-funded by DEFRA. The tables are based on information provided by the Environment Agency’s capital works database. These show that the average costs spent on the appraisal of projects by the Environment Agency’s National Capital Programme Management Service (NCPMS) on feasibility and approvals was 18 per cent. The remaining 82 per cent. was spent on the construction and post construction activities of the project.
The Environment Agency does not hold records centrally on the cost of design and management for most of its schemes below £250,000, nor for pre-feasibility costs for most schemes and for local authority coastal erosion projects.
