This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. December 2010 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Ouse Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Ouse catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Ouse CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England and per cent annual probabilty river flood, 31327 properties Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland are at risk of flooding. This figure does not take into flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first consideration the defences which currently reduce risk time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, in the catchment. The risks from surface water have not from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal been fully explored within this CFMP although flooding flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea from surface water has been recorded in the catchment. (coastal flooding), which is covered by Shoreline We cannot reduce flood risk on our own, we will Management Plans (SMPs). Our coverage of surface therefore work closely with all our partners to improve and ground water is however limited due to a lack the co-ordination of flood risk activities and agree the of available information. most effective way to manage flood risk in the future. The role of CFMPs is to establish flood risk management We have worked with others including Planning and policies which will deliver sustainable flood risk Local Authorities, Internal Drainage Boards, Yorkshire management for the long term.

As we all work together to achieve our objectives, we must monitor and listen to each others progress, discuss what has been achieved and consider where we may need to review parts of the CFMP. The risk of flooding is significant within the Ouse CFMP area. The key sources of flood risk are river, tidal and David Dangerfield surface water flows.

  • U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13Th Cent
    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13th cent. - 1906 Biographical Background: The Palmes family traced its pedigree back to Manfred Palmes who was living in 1140 and had lands in Taunton, Somerset. It is a family unique in being able to trace an unbroken inheritance from son to son from the twelfth century to 1974, with only one exception in the eighteenth century. In 1226 lands at Naburn in East Yorkshire were assigned to William Palmes by Richard de Watervill, the brother of Maud de Watervill, William Palmes's wife. The demesne lordship of Naburn then descended in the Palmes family to the twentieth century (Baines, Old Naburn, p. 45; Allison, History of York East Riding, iii, p. 77; Foster, Pedigrees, iii). Naburn is about three miles south of York and the Palmes family built a manor house on the east bank of the River Ouse. The house was first mentioned in 1345 and had eight hearths in 1672. A drawing of circa 1720 indicates a two storey house, three bays in length with attic windows in high gables. In other words, the family was comfortably-wealthy, although it was not until the early sixteenth century that any of the male members of the family held public office. William Palmes, who was living in the middle of the fifteenth century, married Ellen Rocliffe, whose father was one of the barons of the exchequer. She provided him with three male heirs and a daughter before taking the veil during his lifetime, in 1479.

  • Heritage at Risk Register
    CASTLE HOWARD MAUSOLEUM Castle Howard Estate, Ryedale, North Yorkshire The Mausoleum, by Hawksmoor, 1729-42, and modelled on the tomb of Metella, is a major feature of the Howardian Hills. Situated on a bluff east of Castle Howard. The columns were repaired with a grant in the 1980s. The entablature and bastions continue to decay. Much of the damage is due to rusting cramps. The staircase balustrade is collapsing. 304 HERITAGE AT RISK YORKSHIRE & THE HUMBER 305 Y&H HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Of the 176 entries on the baseline 1999 Yorkshire and the Humber buildings at risk register, 91(52%) have now been removed. Although this is 6% higher than the regional average for 2008, our rate of progress is slowing. Of the five entries removed this year, only one was on the 1999 register. This is because the core of buildings remaining from the 1999 register are either scheduled monuments with no obvious use, or buildings with a problematic future that require a strategic re-think to provide a viable solution. Despite these problems, we are continuing to work with owners, local authorities, trusts and other funding bodies to try to secure the long-term future of these buildings and structures. Just over half (52%) of the regional grants budget (almost £500,000) was offered to eleven buildings at risk in the last financial year. There are four new entries this year: in North Yorkshire, St Leonard’s Church at Sand Hutton, and in West Yorkshire, Hopton Congregational Church in Mirfield,Westwood Mills at Linthwaite, and Stank Hall near Leeds.This gives a total of 122 Grade I and II* listed buildings and scheduled monuments at risk entries on the Yorkshire and the Humber register.
