  • 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.

A resident for six years, Ian’s contribution to the Community extended beyond the Neighbourhood Development Plan into the local branch of the RNLI, Senior Men’s Forum, Walking Group, Bowls Club, Allotments Association and as a volunteer driver for the Knightswood Day Centre – all of these whilst bravely and resolutely fighting skin cancer. Ian’s determination not to give in to his illness and for he and Jane to carry on with their lives, as best they could, is an example of personal courage to us all. Ian was highly respected, will be sadly missed, but always remembered by his friends and colleagues. Rest in Peace Ian.
