  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2021 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management (FRM) and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues. This report also provides an update into areas for improvement identified in the review of the May 2018 flooding conducted by members of the Sustainability & Transport O&S Committee on 19th July 2018. No major issues were raised at the submittal of the last Flood Risk Management Report in April 2020. 1.1 Climate Emergency On 11th June 2019, Birmingham City Council (BCC) announced a climate emergency and made the commitment to reduce the city’s carbon emissions and limit Birmingham’s contribution to climate change, with an aspiration to become net zero carbon by 2030. The impact of climate change will not just be felt afar, and the impact on Birmingham residents of increased extreme weather events, including flooding, droughts and heatwave is likely to be profound, with increasing risks to both life and property. Given our global footprint and the diversity of the city, the climate crisis will hit at the heart of families and communities within the city.

An assessment of the housing potential of each site was made by assessing its developable area. This was limited by factors like topography, irregular shaped plots and site specific constraints. Where sites have already been subject to a detailed appraisal e.g. through a planning application or development brief, this capacity figure has been used. This approach has allowed the Site Allocations & Delivery DPD to consider a broad range of sites across the Borough and ensure that the figures contained within the Core Strategy can comfortably be met. It is important to stress that the housing capacity figures are merely a broad indication of a site’s capacity.

  • Sustainable Communities Policy Review – Manchester/Salford
    SDC Sustainable Communities Review Manchester Visit Sustainable Communities Policy Review – Manchester/Salford [Evidence collated from an SDC visit, Audit Commission Manchester Salford Pathfinder reports (2003 & 2006) and materials provided by Urban Splash.] Headlines • The Pathfinder proposes a net increase of 22,500 homes in its area over the next 13 years • There is significant coordination between funding streams to support delivery • Key challenges include addressing the wider causes of housing market failure (including the attractiveness of local environments, crime levels and the quality of local public services like schools) and encouraging owner occupation, especially given low wages, recent rises in house price levels, and the continuation of buy to let and speculation on the capital values of new homes Context The Manchester Salford Pathfinder sits at the core of the Greater Manchester conurbation as the regional centre of the North West, encompassing areas surrounding the city centre. 40% of all homes within the Manchester and Salford local authority areas fall within the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder area has been divided into four Area Development Frameworks (ADFs) – Central Salford, East Manchester, North Manchester and South Manchester. The intervention area covers 19 of Manchester’s 33 wards and 8 of Salford’s 20 wards. The structure of the Pathfinder’s housing stock is distinctive – only 36% of residents own their own homes compared with the national average of around 69%. The Pathfinder area has an oversupply of older, smaller terraced housing and flats that have declined in value leaving owners in negative equity. Just over half of residents who rent their homes do so from the two local authorities, but private landlords and housing associations also provide very large numbers of homes for rent.
