Defra and the Environment Agency does not hold this data at national level.
Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFA) investigate reports of flooding under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act.
The Environment Agency’s annual flood and coastal erosion risk management report includes information on significant flooding and coastal events in England. The reports can be found at GOV.UK.
