This document has been undertaken between June 2006 and January 2008. 1.2 The SFRA is a tool that plays an important role in delivering sustainable development for the City of Liverpool, taking account of flood risk issues and climate change. The main objectives of this SFRA are to: • Identify land at risk of flooding in Liverpool and the degree of risk from river, sea and other sources • Reduce flood risk from and to new development through location, design and mitigation measures • Inform policy formulation and the Sustainability Appraisal for the emerging Local Development Framework concerning land use in flood risk areas • Provide a framework for development control officers and developers for dealing with the flood risk in development proposals 1.3 It is an important distinction that the function of the SFRA is to minimise the risk of flood to new developments and to reduce existing flood risks where possible. The risk of flooding to existing buildings is not within the remit of this assessment. 1.4 It is also important to note that this document is a strategic assessment. Detailed site specific flood risk assessments will still be required in line with PPS25. This assessment also highlights areas where further investigation may be required. 1.5 The role and responsibilities of different agencies concerning floodrisk is complex. This document has been undertaken by Liverpool City Council, but with the assistance of key partners including the Environment Agency, Liverpool 2020, United Utilities and Enterprise-Liverpool. 1.6 The structure of this SFRA builds up the picture of flood risk within Liverpool, starting with the Liverpool context, highlighting for example the need for urban renewal balanced with the need to address any identified flood risks. The policy context (section 3) sets out the main documents which influence the preparation of this SFRA and provides important background information. Due to the complexities of roles and responsibilities, there is also a summary flow chart which is designed to aid the development process, ensuring different agencies are aware of other agencies responsibilities. 1 Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 25 – Development and Floodrisk (2006) - DCLG Liverpool City Council – Strategic Flood Risk Assessment January 2008 - 3 - 1.7 The key section of the document is section 5, the flood risk assessment. This provides basic background information, e.g. the locations of watercourses and culverts and then identifies where the key areas of flood risk are e.g. Environment Agency indicative flood risk maps and historical areas of flooding. This provides the basis in which to identify the level of flood risk in strategic areas (discussed in section 6) but also provides the background information for more detailed site specific flood risk assessments. Liverpool City Council – Strategic Flood Risk Assessment January 2008 - 4 - Figure 1: Location Map 2 Liverpool Context 2.1 Liverpool is located on the River Mersey in the North West of England. It covers an area of 112 square kilometres. 2.2 Liverpool is a predominantly Knowsley urban area, with a population of 444,500 (2004 population Sefton estimate). The City has seen St. Helens significant change over the past Liverpool century including a population decline from its peak in 1931 of 846,101 to the present day. Wirral Halton 2.3 The city has a history strongly linked with its river, the Mersey, providing an international seaport and maritime trade, between the 18th and 20th Century. However, the 1980s industrial crisis led to a severe economic decline within Liverpool, the legacy of which is still a major issue today. 2.4 Over the years, the City has mounted a succession of major housing regeneration and redevelopment programmes to address these problems, dealing variously with slum clearance and housing stock rehabilitation. Areas of the city are now designated as priorities for action under the government’s Housing Market Renewal Initiative (HMRI), which is a long-term programme to transform those inner city neighbourhoods dominated by unpopular housing through a comprehensive regeneration process, including housing redevelopment and refurbishment on a major scale. 2.5 Despite these issues, Liverpool is a regional centre for financial and professional services, retail provision, tourism, higher education, hi-tech industries, manufacturing and transportation. The Mersey Ports and Liverpool John Lennon Airport are key transport hubs and perform a central role in the City’s economy. 2.6 The City Council’s aim for the City is: "We aim to build and safeguard a fair, prosperous and open city where no-one is in poverty; where our citizens are well educated and take part in the decisions that affect them and where the cultural and religious differences between people are valued and celebrated." (2006) 2.7 This context demonstrates some of the key assets within Liverpool and the different pressures and issues that the City faces. Without an appropriate assessment of the potential risks of flooding, there is a danger that the success of the City and future developments will be jeopardized by flooding, causing far reaching damage to buildings, economy, image and people though loss of belongings and personal injury. Further detailed consideration of the level of flood risk in key development areas is provided in section 6. Liverpool City Council – Strategic Flood Risk Assessment January 2008 - 5 - 3 Policy Context 3.1 There are a variety of planning documents that provide a broad context to planning and floodrisk, as it is a key cross-cutting issue. Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development2, provides the overarching principles for the planning system refers to the need to avoid new developments in areas at risk of flooding and sea-level rise. In addition, other guidance relating to different types of development such as PPS3: Housing, PPS6: Planning for Town Centres and PPG4: Industrial, Commercial Development and Small Firms need to be taken into account. The Supplement to PPS1 on Climate Change3 also needs to be considered, particularly with regard to mitigation

  • 9 Liverpool Historic Character - Analysis
    9 Liverpool Historic Character - Analysis 9.1 Field System Broad Type About 2.4% (approximately 269.5 ha) of the area of Liverpool has been classified as Field System. Extant field systems can be founding three peripheral areas in Liverpool - in the extreme northeast, the centre and extreme south of the district. Figure 17 Current (2003) Field Systems Sub Type in Liverpool (© Crown Copyright and database right 2003. All rights reserved. Ordnance Survey Licence number 100019088. English Heritage). Field shape and size Number of polygons Area (Hectares) Irregular small 2 24.58 Irregular medium 1 2.23 Regular medium 4 50.57 Semi-regular large 8 192.11 Total 15 296.48 Table 8 Liverpool Current (2003) Field System (Shape and Size Attributes 67 The MHCP only recorded the shape and size attributes of field systems within the borough of Liverpool. Further more detailed research would be required to define field types or possible origins. It must be noted that periods of origin assigned to areas of fields during the course of the MHCP are based on intuition and the interpretation of enclosure patterns shown on 20th century and later mapping and do not constitute a detailed or definitive study. The current agricultural landscape is a product of an often complex evolution. In the 19th century in particular large areas of the landscape were remodelled, fields were enlarged and boundaries straightened. However, as a general rule: • The smaller and more irregular the field, the more likely that it has medieval or post-medieval origins (as piecemeal enclosure). • Conversely, the larger and more regular the field, the likelihood is that it is of more recent origin (as surveyed enclosure).
