Flood insurance obligations

Section 74: Register of premises subject to greater flood risk

263.Section 74 provides for the Secretary of State to set out in regulations arrangements for the creation and maintenance of a register of premises in the UK which are subject to greater flood risk. Subsections (2) and (3) allow the regulations to provide for the level of flood risk registered premises face to be recorded in the register. The regulations may do this by setting out flood “risk bands” and requiring that the register record which risk band applies to particular premises.

264.Subsection (4) provides for the regulations to exclude particular types of properties from the register including in particular those constructed after a certain date. Subsection (5) provides for the regulations to specify the information to be contained in the register and to make access, publication, disclosure and notification arrangements for the register and the information contained in it. Subsection (6) provides for conditions to be set on recipients of the information with regard to onward disclosure of the information and arrangements for penalties to be issued if those conditions are not complied with.

265.Subsection (7) provides for the regulations to specify that only applications for the inclusion of a property in the register of premises subject to greater flood risk made by or on behalf of a person with the qualifying interest in the premises may be allowed. The “qualifying interest” is to be defined in regulations under section 82(6).

266.Subsection (8) provides for the regulations to permit the removal of premises from the register if a person with the qualifying interest in the property requests its removal. Under subsection (9), before making regulations under these provisions the Secretary of State must consult with the Welsh Ministers, the Scottish Ministers and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Northern Ireland.

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
