  • South Essex Surface Water Option Scoring Matrix
    SOUTH ESSEX SURFACE WATER OPTION SCORING MATRIX Stage 1 - Identify Potential Measures Critical Drainage Area ID: CAS 1 South Benfleet • Surface water tends to flow from the northwest to the southwest of the CDA, towards Benfleet Marsh where the surface water flood depths are greatest. There is one PSWFH area within the CDA. There is a extensive network of drainage ditches that will convey surface water runoff across the catchment. The steep topography to the Description: east of the CDA generates the relative high flow velocities and flood hazards. • A large proportion of the PSWFH coincides with the Benfleet Hall Sewer tidal and fluvial flood zones 2 and 3. • Surface water ponds within the South Benfleet storage area. Flood Risk Surface Water, Ordinary Watercourse and Sewer Categorisation: 639 buildings of which 542 are residential properties >0.1m Property Count: 39 buildings of which 25 are residential properties >0.3m 6 buildings of which 2 are residential properties >0.5m • South Benfleet Foundation School, Jotmans Hall School, The Appleton School, Critical Kents School, Holy Family Catholic School. • 5 Pumping Stations Infrastructure: • Police Station • Nursing Home • Flood records have been recorded at Clifton Way, Grove Road and Avondale Road. The latter two flood locations are in proximity to a drainage ditch. Validation: • Sewer flooding records are at Fernlea Road, Greenwood Avenue and at the junction between Vicarage Hill and High Road. Pluvial modelling indicates that surface water flows are generated from Thundersley Glen (to the northeast of CDA) and Hill Top Farm (to the southeast of the CDA). Surface water from these areas flows towards the Benfleet Hall Sewer which then PSWFH: converges with a tributary of the Benfleet Brook.

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Southend-on-Sea to Wallasea Island Report SWI 3: Little Wakering to Sutton Ford Bridge Part 3.1: Introduction Start Point: Little Wakering (grid reference: TQ 9316 8897) End Point: Sutton Ford Bridge, Rochford (grid reference: TQ 8832 8963) Relevant Maps: SWI 3a to SWI 3f 3.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Southend-on- Sea and Wallasea Island. 3.1.2 This report covers length SWI 3 of the stretch, which is the coast between Little Wakering and Sutton Ford Bridge. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 3.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the South Essex Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the South Essex CFMP area and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The South Essex CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England flooding. Tidal flooding from the North Sea and the and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland estuaries, affects Burnham-on-Crouch, North and South flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first Fambridge, South Woodham Ferrers, Purfleet, Tilbury and time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, Canvey Island. The lower reaches of the rivers Crouch, from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal Horndon, Mardyke and Roach are also influenced by flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea (coastal tides.

ITE con- tributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scien- tific basis for predicting and modelling environ- mental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, manage- ment and wise use of our natural resources. Nearly half of ITE's work is research commis- sioned by customers, such as the Nature Conser- vancy Council who require information for wild- life conservation, the Forestry Commission and INSTITUTE OF the Department of the Environment.
