Appendix 4 Enhancement Business Cases and Cost Adjustment Claims Appendix 4 Enhancement business cases and cost adjustment claims 1 Overview This summary sets out the enhancement expenditure in our plan and provides the detailed business cases to demonstrate the need for action and the solutions we have identified. In Section 4.1 we have presented evidence for all material enhancements outside of the four areas where we believe cost adjustments are required. It includes the following business case summaries: 4.1.1 Security enhancements 4.1.2 Catchment management 4.1.3 New development 4.1.4 Water NEP and other enhancements 4.1.5 Wastewater NEP 4.1.6 Wastewater developer services and growth 4.1.7 Welsh language services Section 4.2 and 4.3 contain the cost adjustment pro formas and detailed business cases respectivel y for the four cost adjustment claims. The four areas – Reservoir safety, Supply resilience, reducing lead and enhancing biodiversity and well-being. 4.2 proforma summaries for all cost adjustment claims 4.3 Approach to cost adjustment claims 4.3.1 Supply resilience 4.3.2 Reservoir safety 4.3.3 Reducing lead 4.3.4 Enhancing biodiversity and well-being Our May submission also included two econometric modelling claims – for water and wastewater services respectively. This was based on the identified risk that our specific circumstances are such that econometric models may not be able to accurately predict required efficient expenditure. We remain of the view that the size, rurality and lack of historic data means that it will be very difficult to effectively model the expenditure requirement for Hafren Dyfrdwy (HDD) using high level industry econometric models. However, given that we are not yet aware of how Ofwat plans to calculate HDD’s expenditure requirements, we have chosen not to restate these modelling claims at this stage. Instead we have focused on making cost adjustment cases for particularly sensitive blocks of expenditure that we consider will not be adequately allowed for.

As explained above, evidence to support cost efficiency is described in appendix 5. Our enhancement cases include a wide range of inputs and data sources including: interpretation of current and future legislative and regulatory requirements as well as customer expectations; reference to associated current and historic performance baselines; overview of intervention options developed and estimation approaches used; assessment of benefits delivered from different intervention options; and sensitivity of investment to customer protection mechanisms. Our general approach to developing business cases for enhancement not subject to adjustment claims is set out in the table below. In summary we have explained why the expenditure is classified as enhancement and not as base, including identifying the drivers of the expenditure and the benefits; and provided evidence to support the need for the expenditure and how customers are protected. Efficiency of the costs are covered in appendix 5 – Efficient costs.

  • NEWTOWN and District – the Place Not the People
    NEWTOWN and district – The place not the people The following selection of Richard Christmas’s 1950s photographs has been chosen to show what the area was like at that time, people things are dealt with in the next file. A number of these pictures are panoramic views of various parts of the town taken from positions on the hills to the south of the town, some of the others were taken around Ysgafell. These seem to have been taken at different dates. Nantoer houses, west of Newtown, now all built up. Then back to the western end, shows the High School being built in the middle of the old army camp. Looking at a eaestern part of Newtown this shows the horse repositary and further to the left the old gas work. Below is a later somewhat similar view The Garthowen Estate has largely been built and on the right the construction of what will become the High School has started on the site of the old army camp, behind pond of old brickworks. This view across the more easterly part of the town focuses on what today we would call the Lion Works then occupied by Phillips Cycles. Further to the right the cemetry and recreation ground. Another view of the old County Pavilion showing the hills to the north of Newtown.. A view of the centre of the town, St Davids Church and Pryce Jones in the foreground. A view to the east of the town centre showing where Barnfields now stands. View from Ysgafell across Hollybank to the Dolfor Hills.

    Report Number 471 Modelling the effect of land use change in the upper Severn catchment on flood levels downstream English Nature Research Reports working today for nature tomorrow English Nature Research Reports Number 471 Modelling the effect of land use change in the upper Severn catchment on flood levels downstream Kevin Gilman M A MCIWEM The appendices to this report and model files are available on a CD, on request from the Enquiries Service, English Nature (tel: 01733 455101) You may reproduce as many additional copies of this report as you like, provided such copies stipulate that copyright remains with English Nature, Northminster House, Peterborough PE1 1UA ISSN 0967-876X © English Nature 2002 .. Executive summary Land use is one of several significant factors affecting quantity and timing of flood runoff, and is arguably more accessible to human control than other factors such as climate, soils and channel hydraulics. Major changes occurred over the latter part of the 20th century. For instance the area of rough pasture in the Cambrian Mountains declined from 78% in 1948 to 55% in 1983, the majority of this land being converted to coniferous forest. However there is little evidence of effects of extensive land use changes on the flood hydrology of catchments. Studies on the catchment scale, for instance the large networks of catchments used in the preparation of the UK Floods Studies Report and the Flood Estimation Handbook, have not turned up simple relationships between land use and flood hydrology, except in the case of urbanisation. In the UK, impacts of afforestation on water resources have been demonstrated, and quantified in terms of the additional costs of developing reservoir storage, especially in upland areas.

In its role as 'Guardian of the Water Environment', the NRA is committed to preparing a sound plan for the future management of the region's river catchments. This Consultation Report is the first stage in the catchment management planning process for the upper reaches of the River Severn. It provides a framework for consultation and also a means of seeking commitment from those involved to realise the full environmental potential of the Catchment. We look forward to receiving comments and contributions from interested organisations and individuals. These will enable a Final Plan to be produced, balancing the conflicting demands placed upon the natural water environment. Dr J H Kalicki Area Manager Upper Severn Area THE NRA's VISION FOR THE CATCHMENT The catchment of the upper reaches of the River Severn is predominantly rural in character, and is an area known for its attractive upland landscape and great natural beauty.
