  • Yate / Chipping Sodbury Flood Study Working to Make Communities More Flood Resilient
    Yate / Chipping Sodbury Flood Study Working to make communities more flood resilient WELCOME TO THIS CONSULTATION ABOUT OPTIONS FOR FLOOD ALLEVIATION We, the Environment Agency, want to explain our ongoing study considering options for flood alleviation in Yate and Chipping Sodbury. Our study is at an early stage – there is no commitment or funding to take forward any scheme. Why consider options for flood alleviation in Yate and Chipping Sodbury? We are considering options for flood alleviation that would reduce flood risk from the River Frome. (this risk is illustrated in the flood mapping shown on the next poster). Major flooding from the River Frome and its tributaries affected Yate and Chipping Sodbury in 1968. We estimate that river flooding could affect as many as 100 homes and 40 businesses in a very large flood event (1% chance in each year). In view of the flood risk we issue flood warnings for low-lying properties at the following locations: • Yate: Bennetts Court, Station Road, Swan Field, Treeleaze, Orchard Close, Milton Road, Tyndale Avenue, Celestine Road, Blenheim Drive and Whitley Close • Chipping Sodbury: Blanchards Farm area River flooding occurs because the channel capacity is inadequate to carry flood flows. The channels of the River Frome and its tributaries have been modified over the years, alongside urban development adjacent to the river corridor. Without flood alleviation, flood risk is predicted to increase due to larger flood flows that a changing climate could create. The flooding problems can be worsened by surface water runoff from heavy rainfall. We would like your views on the options for flood alleviation so far considered and will use any feedback to inform our further study Poster 1 / 11 Yate / Chipping Sodbury Flood Study Working to make communities more flood resilient 4.
