The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of flood risk at key development and regeneration locations within Stockton BC. These areas have been identified in the Level 1 SFRA as being at risk of flooding but also necessary for Stockton's regeneration and development plans. These proposed regeneration allocations are: • Bowesfield North Phase 1 and Phase 2 - on the fluvial River Tees. • Boathouse Lane and Chandlers Wharf - on the fluvial River Tees. • Tees Marshalling Yard (TMY) - by the Old River Tees and tidal Tees. • Seal Sands (also includes North Tees Pools and Port Clarence sites) - by the tidal Tees. • Haverton Hill (also includes Casebourne and Billingham Reach sites) - by the Tidal Tees. Existing Flood Risk Management The first section of this report reviews the flood defences in Stockton BC. It is important to understand where the flood defences are, and what level of protection they provide. The Environment Agency's Flood Zone maps do not take into account flood defences so flood risk to defended areas will vary depending on the standard of the defences and the type of flooding they are subject to. The fluvial River Tees has significant stretches of raised defences along its course. The majority of these are agricultural defences and upstream of Stockton BC. There are some defences protecting small settlements by the River Tees in Stockton BC, e.g. Yarm. However, on the lower reaches, where the Bowesfield North (Phase 1 and 2), Boathouse Lane and Chandlers Wharf development sites are, the floodplains are undefended. The Tees Marshalling Yard (TMY) site is separated from the tidal Tees by an area of raised land. Whilst not considered a formal flood defence it has a significant role to play in reducing flood risk. Adjacent to the TMY, on the Old River Tees, there are raised defences, protecting the retail centre from tidal flooding. The tidal Tees has a number of formal and informal flood defence structures near to the proposed development allocations. On the north Tees Estuary boundary, the original frontage has been raised, which protects the hinterland from more frequent floods. The Port Clarence railway embankment partially blocks a tidal flood pathway to the Haverton Hill allocations (although this is not a flood defence structure). A defunct embankment to the west of Seal Sands prevents inundation from high probability flooding to the lower areas, although this embankment is considered (by the Environment Agency) to provide no flood defence benefits and is therefore not a formal flood defence. The Greatham Creek flood defence embankments have the greatest influence on flood risk in the area. These defences have been known to breach in the past and although improvements have been made, they are the main flood risk pathway to the allocations. 2009s0156 SBC Level 2 SFRA V2.2.docx iii Flood risk to the Level 2 allocations The Bowesfield North (Phase 1 and 2), Boathouse Lane and Chandlers Wharf sites are at risk of flooding from the River Tees. Parts of Bowesfield North Phase 1 are at risk from more frequent flooding while the remainder of the Bowesfield sites are at risk from less frequent flooding. Climate change increases the flood risk to these sites, especially due to tidal flooding when the predicted increase in sea levels is factored in. The Tees Marshalling Yard site has been predicted to be at risk of tidal flooding through modelling from the Old River Tees and the River Tees. However, only a very small part of the site is at risk of high probability flooding but the majority of the site is flooded when the effects of climate change are added. The Haverton Hill and Seal Sands sites are at risk of tidal flooding from the Tees Estuary. A breach in the Greatham Creek tidal defences is the primary flood pathway for both sets of allocations. The Haverton Hill sites are at risk of high probability flooding. A large proportion of the Seal Sands sites are free from flooding (even when climate change is added) but they are cut off by flood waters to the west and the Tees Estuary to the east. Outcomes The detailed modelling for the sites has produced flood extents, depths and hazards for different probability flood events, including the impacts of climate change. From these outputs it has been possible to provide evidence as to whether an allocation can be brought forward for development safely, without increasing flood risk elsewhere. This evidence has been presented to fulfil part c) of the Exception Test. It is recommended that the element of the Bowesfield North Phase 2 site at risk of high probability flooding, should be kept free from development by integrating this area into masterplans as green infrastructure or public open space It would be technically possible to provide flood mitigation as part of a development proposal for the area of the Bowesfield North Phase 2 site at risk of medium probability flooding. However, sequentially it is more difficult to justify development of a greenfield site which is at risk of flooding under the Sequential Test in PPS25. This site will also be at greater risk of flooding in the future. The Boathouse Lane and Chandlers Wharf sites could be developed with mitigation measures in place. The areas at risk from medium probability flooding should be relatively easy to mitigate. However, the Boathouse Lane site also includes an area at risk of high probability flooding (Boathouse Lane 2). The development layout within this area will need to factor in first floor only development (allowing the ground floor to flood) if development in this area is to go ahead. The Tees Marshalling Yard can be brought forward for a wide range of uses including residential development as the small area at risk of high probability flooding could be left free from development. Mitigation options for reducing flood risk from the more extreme flood events include land raising and tying in access roads to the high land to the north of the site. Two other mitigation options (including raised defences) were modelled for this site. The Haverton Hill sites can be brought forward for development if some ground and floor raising and raised access roads (or pedestrian access roads) can be implemented. The Seal Sands sites can be brought forward, although there are two sections of this allocation that are at risk of deep flooding. Planning permission for 2009s0156 SBC Level 2 SFRA V2.2.docx iv significant land raising has already been submitted for one of these areas. The main issue with Seal Sands is emergency access and egress. Measures to mitigate this are proposed which includes further consultation and planning with Stockton BC's emergency planning department. 2009s0156 SBC Level 2 SFRA V2.2.docx v Contents Executive Summary .......................................................................................... iii 1.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

    BUDDLE PLACE-BOOK – 21 May.1836 to 16 Nov.1836 Bud-48-5 1836 1. May 21st. Saturday Spent the day in Newcastle. It was announced that N. Sale of Hetton Colliery was Sold to a new Joint North Stock Co, to be called the County of Dur- Hetton ham Joint Stock Coal Co. Shares £50. Colly. each Mr. Bowes M.P. is said to be at the head of this Co. I had a meeting with Messrs. Donkin Phillipson, Ins. Dunn & Ins. Burrell, on the part of the Hetton Co. and with H[enry] Morton on behalf of Lord Durham on this Subject. It was unanimously [argued] that the N. Hetton Colly falling into the hands of this Joint Stock Co. would ren- der it impossible for the best Collieries on the Wear to form a district Regulation amongst themselves, in the event of the general Regulation being broken up, and that it was, therefore, advisable, if possible to prevent this Sale being completed. I was [devised] to write I. Gregson to ask him if the agreement for the Sale 1836 2. was definitively concluded, and if not to inquire, if he could delay it a Week as in that case a proposition would be submitted to the N. Hetton Co. by which they would obtain their object, and the mischief which would result to the trade from the Colliery Falling into the hands of this Joint Stock Co. wd. Be averted. It was proposed in the event of the Colliery still being to be had, that the other [b]est Collieries, Should purchase it amongst them according to their re- spective Bases.

  • Minerals and Waste Policies and Sites DPD Policy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Policies & Sites DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. The Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. This Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with that Core Strategy, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part of Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.

  • Executive Summary
    APPENDIX 2 Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents Polices and Sites Preferred Options Report - February 2008 APPENDIX 2 APPENDIX 2 Purpose of this Report In September 2006, the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit (JSU) appointed consultants, Entec UK Ltd, to prepare two Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) on behalf of the five Boroughs of the Tees Valley sub-region (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar & Cleveland). The two DPDs will consist of a Core Strategy and a Policies and Sites document. The Core Strategy will comprise the long-term spatial vision and the overarching primary policies needed to achieve the strategic objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The Policies and Sites document will identify specific minerals and waste sites in conformity with the Core Strategy and provide a framework of development control policies to assess future minerals and waste planning applications in the Tees Valley. The adopted Minerals and Waste DPDs will comprise part of the Local Development Framework for each of the Boroughs, which together with the Regional Spatial Strategy for the North East will form the Development Plan for the area. They will cover all of the land within the five Boroughs except for that which also falls within the North York Moors National Park. The Preferred Options Reports represent the second stage of the preparation process. The first stage, in May 2007, was the production of an Issues and Options Report, where the issues affecting minerals and waste development in the Tees Valley were identified and consultees and the general public were asked to identify which of the options presented were the most appropriate for dealing with the issues.

  • 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.
