ISBN: GENE1109BRCJ-E-P December 2009 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Tyne Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Tyne catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Tyne CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England and the total catchment area. Approximately 4,950 homes Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland and 2,000 commercial properties have a one per cent flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first chance of flooding each year. There is also a risk from time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, high tides, with 900 homes and over 300 commercial from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal properties along the estuary having a 0.5 per cent flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea chance of flooding each year. There are a number of (coastal flooding), which is covered by Shoreline engineered flood defence schemes in the catchment Management Plans (SMPs). Our coverage of surface that reduce the risk to some key communities. and ground water is however limited due to a lack We cannot reduce the risk of flooding by ourselves, of available information. we will therefore work closely with all our partners The role of CFMPs is to establish flood risk management to improve the co-ordination of flood risk activities policies which will deliver sustainable flood risk and agree the most effective way to manage flood management for the long term. This is essential if we risk in the future. We have worked with others are to make the right investment decisions for the including Local Authorities, Natural England, future and to help prepare ourselves effectively for Port of Tyne Authority, National Farmers Union the impact of climate change.

  • 3.0 Project Pipeline
    3.0 Project Pipeline Following the workshop the project proposals were summarised into a pipeline. This was shared with all attendees for comments and further input and then reviewed by the North East LNP Natural Environment Group and other LNP representatives. The following summary provides an overview of project potential and likelihood of development. It is clear from this that there are potential landscape projects in the pipeline until 2019. Beyond this there is significant potential for further delivery, however the majority of these projects are currently at an outline stage and would require significant work to move towards delivery. This pipeline will be reviewed annually by the 3 North East LNPs to ensure that it remains a current overview of landscape delivery potential and allow partners to focus and align resources to ensure that there is the best approach taken to achieve delivery. It is anticipated that during this process, some projects will be discounted from the pipeline as delivery is unachievable whilst new ideas may be added as new opportunities are presented.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
