  • The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5 December 2013 Lincolnshire
    OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5th December 2013 Lincolnshire Resilience Forum’s Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report 20th March 2014 1 OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report Foreword On Thursday 5th December 2013 a deepening pressure system combined with high astronomical tides and strong to gale force ‘north westerly’ winds to generate a coastal surge along the whole of the east coast of England, the largest surge since the ‘great storm’ of 1953. Due to advances in surge forecasting, flood prediction and contingency planning at national, sub-national and local levels we were able to ‘get ahead’ of the storm. From Tuesday 3rd December partners began deploying one of the largest multi-agency emergency response and recovery operations ever conducted in Lincolnshire. This included the most significant evacuation operation in recent memory, the rescue of a number of people who became isolated by floodwaters, and work to ensure critical services were maintained and damaged infrastructure quickly repaired. Thankfully there were only 3 (relatively minor) casualties as a result of the surge, but more than 720 residential and commercial properties were inundated from the resultant overtopping and breach of defences. I would like to pass on my sympathy and support to those whose households and businesses flooded. We continue to work to support a full community recovery, and I commend the work of colleagues at Boston Borough Council who have led this work. In the circumstances this was a very good, forecast-led response and recovery effort.

  • Freiston Shore
    Freiston Shore IS001/W/2008 Freiston Shore managed realignment site Information sheet no.1 (April 2008) Strategic & Development Planning, Shoreline Management Group Photo: Creek at Freiston Shore realignment (courtesy of Dr Sue Brown) Introduction to Freiston Freiston shore is located on the north-western bank of The Wash and is one of the largest managed realignment sites in the UK. The aim of the scheme was to enhance the coastal defence through set back of the primary defence and the establishment of fronting salt marsh, also to create a new wetland habitat, supporting a salt marsh community plus a brackish lagoon landward of the embankment. In 1983 the HM Prison Service (HMP) reclaimed a 66 ha area of The Wash to be cultivated as arable farmland. The embankment built to enclose the area protruded into The Wash and was exposed to erosion, resulting in the bank being at risk of failure during the 1990s. The Environment Agency decided that repairing and strengthening the existing landward defence, to bring the bank into alignment with the adjacent defences was the best option. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) was keen to use this opportunity to create a new wetland habitat and purchased the land from HMP. Defra provided funding to the scheme which allowed for a five year monitoring programme. Following an Environmental Action Plan, due to the considerations involved in working around a designated area, the Environment Agency then strengthened the existing landward sea defence and worked with Defra, RSPB and coastal partners in the realignment scheme that started in 2001.

  • Appendix a Planning Application B 13 0381
    Appendix to Planning Application B/13/0381 to be determined by Planning Committee on 12th November 2013: Replacement Dwellings and New Dwellings in the Countryside The purpose of this appendix is to provide examples of replacement dwellings approved and (except for one example) constructed in the recent past in rural areas within the Borough of Boston. This will provide examples of designs previously approved that will enable Members to determine Application B/13/0381. The dwellings are loosely and informally classified into three types, classic (1), large (2) and alternative (3): - 1. Examples of modern interpretations of the traditional Lincolnshire country dwelling included in Boston Borough Council’s Supplementary Planning Guidance “Housing in the Countryside”. 2. Examples of larger modern interpretations of the traditional Lincolnshire country dwelling included in Boston Borough Council’s SPG. 3. Examples of alternative designs to traditional Lincolnshire country dwellings included in Boston Borough Council’s SPG. 41 1. Examples of modern interpretation of the traditional Lincolnshire country dwelling (Classic) ‘The Acorns’ (formerly Westholme Farm), Holmes Road, Kirton Holme approved under delegated powers (B/07/0420) Historically, the majority of replacement dwellings approved by Boston Borough Council under Local Plan Policy CO12, and before, were modern interpretations of traditional designs of houses in the Lincolnshire countryside and paid particular attention to scale, shape, form and materials. The majority of approved houses are cottage-style buildings with a vertical emphasis which respect the narrow widths and generally steeper roof forms of the traditional style dwelling, rather than the wide span roofs. Chimney stacks are of a reasonable height and are integrated within the house plan, rather than incorporating external fire boxes and stacks.
