The layout of this document
Flood Risk Management Plans have been divided into four sections to help readers identify and access information relevant to them. This are the appendices. We have divided the plan into four parts: Name Audience Summary Document For those who a high level overview of the plan
Part A: Background and river basin For those who need some legislative background and district wide information river basin district wide, high level information
Part B: Catchment Summaries For those who want the detail of the sub-areas and flooding statistics. This section includes the catchments based on Water Framework Directive (WFD) management catchments, Flood Risk Areas (identified through the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment) and other strategic areas across the RBD.
Part C: Appendices For those who want to see the detailed program of work for individual communities
The Appendices included the measures tables, the detail of the projects that are the focus of the planning cycle. The section contains the real detail of the proposed, agreed and ongoing work in each sub-catchment. The other parts of the flood risk management plan are located on gov.uk (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/north-west-river-basin-district-flood-risk- management-plan)

Conclusions - Generic conclusions for the River Basin District and for the Greater Manchester Flood Risk Area (See Part A Section 8 and Part B Section 3.1) apply. The following conclusions also apply for Oldham.
Oldham has a total area of approximately 142km2, with a total resident population of 224,900 (2011 Census). The most densely populated areas are Oldham, Failsworth/ Hollinwood, Chadderton, Royton/Shaw/Crompton and Saddleworth. In addition to being heavily urbanised in places parts of the borough are characterised by steep catchment slopes and narrow river valleys, which means that large volumes of floodwater travel quickly through the confined river system causing flash flooding. As a result the borough can be at significant flood risk from both fluvial and surface water sources. Fluvial flooding is less of a problem in the Borough due to the incised nature of the river valleys and limited floodplain in the upper reaches of the Rivers Beal, Irk, Medlock and Tame.
However in some parts of Oldham, particularly the Tame Valley it can be difficult to separate 109 of 137
surface water and fluvial risks, especially in the valley bottom. Consequently a partnership approach with the EA and other risk management authorities and stakeholders is essential to achieve a full understanding of risks in such areas. It is only through better understanding of local flood risks and causes that feasible measures can be identified to reduce the risk of flooding in locally significant areas. The SFRA for Oldham identified the following surface water Critical Drainage Areas within the borough: Chadderton / Wince Brook Hollinwood / Moston Brook East Oldham / Wood Brook and Upper Tame Shaw / River Beal
This strategy has identified general improvement measures centred round the use of SUDS to replace and complement the existing network of storm culverts in the Borough, many of which are of uncertain age and condition. Particular locations identified for further study are Shaw (including Pencil Brook) and Uppermill on the River Tame. In Shaw discussions will also be held with Transport for Greater Manchester to assess issues affecting the Metrolink network.

Rochdale Local authority strategy information: http://www.rochdale.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/policies,_strategies__reviews/strategies/plac e_and_environment/flood_risk_management_strategy.aspx
Objectives ROCH.01 Understand our flood risks better ROCH.02 Communicate flood risks more effectively with those who are potentially at risk from flooding and with those who can help manage and respond to flood risk and its consequences
ROCH.03 Help people, communities and businesses to take greater ownership of flood risk where they can manage and where possible reduce their risk and be better prepared to respond to and recover from
ROCH.04 Work as a Lead Local Flood Authority and with other flood risk management agencies to manage flood risk better, reduce the impact of flooding and wherever possible reduce or remove risk through investing in our drainage infrastructure and its future management
ROCH.05 Ensure that development and land management do not increase flood risks and contribute to sustainable drainage and reduction of flood risk ROCH.06 Ensure that how we manage and reduce flood risk helps our local communities, economy and environment to be more resilient to climate change impacts and helps to deliver a clean and safe water environment, rich in wildlife and opportunities for its enjoyment Conclusions - Generic conclusions for the River Basin District and for the Greater Manchester Flood Risk Area (See Part A Section 8 and Part B Section 3.1) apply. The following conclusions also apply for Rochdale.
Rochdale district forms a part of the wider River Irwell catchment. Flood risk is affected by the steep sided valleys of the South Pennine Watershed and the dense urban development patterns following the River Roch and its tributaries. Areas at risk of significant flooding include older residential areas, employment sites, town centres and a range of community and essential infrastructure.
Principal fluvial risk is centred on the River Roch and its key tributaries in Littleborough and central Rochdale including the River Beal, Townhouse Brook, Ealees Brook, Green Vale Brook, Calder Brook, Buckley Brook and the River Spodden. Parts of the Roch catchment are subject to flash flood risk where flood waters can rise quickly and these are located in Littleborough and central Rochdale east of the town centre in Wardleworth. As one of the upper reaches of the Irwell catchment it is important to manage flood risk on the Roch through an appropriate combination of measures including flood storage, protecting and managing active flood plains and defences to ensure risk is not increased downstream in the centre of Rochdale and the Greater Manchester conurbation.
Surface water flood risk can be found quite widely in the district with areas of significant risk in Heywood, Littleborough, central Rochdale, Wardle, Milnrow and Newhey. Surface water risk in some locations such as Heywood has complex interactions with the capacity and operation of the sewer network.
Flood risk in Rochdale borough is often not from a single source and many of the locations where flood risk is higher have a combined risk for example from both fluvial and surface water flooding. These principally include Littleborough and central Rochdale. 111 of 137
Factors influencing flood risk and how it can be managed more effectively include the impacts of climate change and effective implementation of sustainable drainage as part of development and urban change and rural land management in particular in the South Pennine Watershed and within river valley corridors. The Rochdale LLFA will seek to manage flood risks and its impacts more effectively by: • Working in partnership with the Environment Agency to develop and deliver a programme of flood risk management measures on the River Roch and its tributaries as a strategic catchment approach including flood storage, enhanced defences, property level resilience and river stewardship. • Working with AGMA and neighbouring initiatives to ensure strategic partnership and co- operation in managing flood risk. • Promoting and ensuring delivery of sustainable drainage through the planning system, regeneration initiatives, planned maintenance and infrastructure enhancements. • Developing an integrated drainage strategy for Heywood working with United Utilities. • Delivering and extending good practice from the Rochdale and Heywood Flood Resilience Community Pathfinder - Increasing flood risk awareness and preparedness in high risk communities and businesses including the establishment of community flood action groups and river stewardship initiatives and promoting sign up to flood warning services. • Promoting and helping to deliver flood resilient properties through property level protection and property maintenance and improvement projects.

SALF.002.4 To maximise the take-up of flood insurance by residents and businesses in Salford
SALF.003.1 To manage the increased flood risk as a result of climate change in a sustainable way
SALF.003.2 To require well designed Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) where appropriate in new development and promote retrofitting of SUDS in existing development
SALF.004.1 Respond appropriately to flood events, recognising that response should be proportionate to the scale of the incident and that, in the event of a major incident, other agencies will lead the response
SALF.004.2 To ensure that Salford is a resilient city and can recover quickly from flood events, minimising the disruption flooding causes
Conclusions - Generic conclusions for the River Basin District and for the Greater Manchester Flood Risk Area (See Part A Section 8 and Part B Section 3.1) apply. The following conclusions also apply for Salford.
In total, over 15,000 residential properties are within the area at risk of an extreme fluvial flood in Salford (1 in 1,000 year event, including those at risk from the Manchester Ship Canal). Hydraulic modelling of the Manchester Ship Canal has shown that, where the sluice gates are operated to allow flows to pass downstream, the risk of flooding from the canal is typically less than 1% i.e. there is a less than 1 in 100 chance of a flood occurring in any year.

STOC.006 Flood risk management funding is directed to areas most at need and where solutions will be most effective. Flood risk management will guide other funding decisions and be appropriately prioritised alongside other needs.
STOC.007 Encouraging, supporting and where possible providing water management from its source utilising and developing sustainable techniques which have wider considerations of the environment. Conclusions - Generic conclusions for the River Basin District and for the Greater Manchester Flood Risk Area (See Part A Section 8 and Part B Section 3.1) apply. The following conclusions also apply for Stockport.
It is recognised and accepted that that there are flood risks in Stockport that are inherent and can be managed. The Main Rivers, Mersey, Tame and Goyt are not the predominating concern due to the topography of the borough especially in the Town Centre itself. Only 2%of Stockport’s population are at risk from fluvial flooding.
Many of the tributaries in the borough form the main network and spread across the catchment for the Upper Mersey. Development and re-development in the past has seen fit to cover or culvert the watercourses and use the land for other purposes. The main problem areas are to the south and east of the town and the main focus of consideration tends to be around the districts of Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Romiley and Marple. There are significant flood risks identified around Chorlton Brook in Cheadle and Cheadle Heath, which is classed as Main River. Again long sections of this brook have been culverted providing a throttle effect and present maintenance issues but there are complex issues of water backing up in heavy rainfall in a low lying area. Gatley village was identified as our other main risk area.
The increase in car ownership in a relatively affluent area has led to increased paving of gardens as provision for off-road parking which adds to the surface water run-off. Hazards to road safety have been determined in Strines and Marple. 114 of 137
Many residents have a tendency to feel that to culvert a stream in their rear garden is the best solution. This leads to having continued lengthy sections of poorly maintained and uncharted culverted systems that have no access points and no determined outfall. The continued increase in ground water flooding with climate change in these areas is of concern as the base water cannot feed into the watercourse.
There are many areas and long lengths of watercourse that have been entirely built over and many of our major routes are built on what was an open watercourse. These include the A6 through Great Moor and Hazel Grove and Upper Hibbert Lane in Marple. The old culverts tend to be brick and box-shaped and so prone to siltation, collecting of debris and collapse. They are difficult to access, inspect and maintain. Again ground water issues present a problem along their catchments as well as the surface water issues if the culverts are under capacity.
In the East of the borough ground water problems present more of an issue to the heavier clay content in the soils and underlying strata. This is prevalent in Romiley, High Lane and Marple Bridge but especially in Marple. Cellar and garden flooding seems to be increasing.

Flood risk across the borough is relatively low when compared with other areas of the northwest. Flood risk from the Ashton, Peak Forest and Huddersfield Narrow Canals is considered low but does not have the benefit of modelled risk. Tameside MBC is supported in its work on flood risk by some joint work through the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities, as well as other Risk Management Authorities such as the Environment Agency and United Utilities. Partnership Funding arrangements further strengthen collaborative working.

STHEL.005 Environment and Sustainability - To undertake flood risk management in a sustainable manner
Conclusions Generic river basin district wide conclusions (See Part A Section 8) apply. The following conclusions also apply for St Helens. St Helens Council has published their Lead Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LLFRMS) in 2014. This is the first Strategy for Flood Risk Management in St. Helens and it is a key step in making sure that the risk of flooding in our town is dealt with as whole, joining up the work done by the Council, Environment Agency, United Utilities and Neighbouring Authorities with that of the local community, community charities and individual households.
The Council currently have produced a base asset register for assets within the borough and are furthering the development of available information by investigation ownerships, conditions and associated flood risk, along with research into the historical and industrial past of the Borough. Understanding the risk in the borough allows for the base in evidence gathering for partnership working, knowledge sharing and funding opportunities for the implementation of schemes and measures. In cases where flood prevention measures are not feasible the Strategy looks to aim to work with residents by providing advice and information in preparing for flood events.
In conjunction with the Strategy the Council have published a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in which it addresses the development and implementation of flood risk measures. The SEA is a statutory assessment process under the SEA Regulations and requires that an assessment be made of the effects that certain plans and programmes will have on the environment. The SEA was undertaken in line with current best practice and follows Government guidance. The process consist of five stages namely; Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding the scope; Develop options and assess environmental effects; Preparation of an environmental report; Consultation; and Monitoring significant effects. Works implemented as part of flood risk will be assessed individually based on the environment and location.

Objectives WIRR.001 Understand the local risks of flooding and coastal erosion, working together with partners, other risk management authorities, organisations and the community to identify the causes and put in place long-term plans to manage these risks and make sure that other plans take account of them.
WIRR.002 Ensure that the guiding principle for sustainable development are applied and inappropriate development is avoided in existing and future areas at risk of flood and coastal erosion while elsewhere, carefully managing other land to avoid increasing the risks. WIRR.003 Where financially viable, build, maintain and improve local flood and coastal erosion management infrastructure and systems to mitigate or reduce the likelihood of harm to people and damage to the economy; environment (natural, historic, built and social) and society as a whole.
WIRR.004 Increase public awareness of the effects of greenhouse gases on climate change and the subsequent increase in flood risk implications that exists and engage with people specifically at risk of flooding, to encourage them to take action to manage and/or mitigate the risks that they face and to make their property more resilient. WIRR.005 Support and assist the appropriate bodies responsible for improving the detection, forecasting and issue of warnings of flooding. Plan for and co- ordinate a rapid response to flood emergencies and promote faster recovery from flooding,
Conclusions Generic river basin district wide conclusions (See Part A Section 8) apply. The following conclusions also apply for Wirral. Wirral will develop an LFRMAP for each area as details of the existing and future flood risk are identified from its proposed investigations. They will be developed taking account of the available economic, ecological and sustainability guidance and existing strategic studies and management plans. Additionally, any works that are proposed will take account of its contribution to climate change.
Where physical flood prevention measures are not feasible, the LFRMAP will identify how we will work with the local community to provide information and advice that will assist and empower them to take responsibility for managing and protecting property and assets from the adverse effects should flooding occur. Amongst other things this could include details of flood resilience measures (and retrofitting where necessary) for the community, economy, natural, historic, built and social environment, flood warning systems / evacuation and emergency procedures, effective land management measures to reduce runoff and those areas that are prone or will be prone to flooding in future.
The LFRMAP will provide Information and advice to individuals, businesses and the community that highlights the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to its contribution to climate change and flood risk; and the importance of adaptation measures such as design resilience (retrofitting), land management (SUDS and flood storage), in further managing the risk of flooding. In addition this Information and advice will identify
127 of 137
how biodiversity and nature conservation protection and enhancement measures can be incorporated into the management of local flood risk. The opportunity to incorporate biodiversity enhancements within the flood risk management options for areas at risk will be a design consideration.
Wirral’s geological features will affect what land management options can be employed to manage flood risk. The nature of the underlying geology can restrict infiltration, while the location of major aquifers beneath the Wirral will further restrict infiltration as a flood risk management option. Wirral has a legacy of land contamination arising from industrial development and other related operational practices. The distribution and nature of contamination is not fully known and therefore land owners and businesses who may wish to undertake flood risk management works will be made aware of this potential issue. In addition, the LFRMAP will provide information and advice on the importance of Wirral’s designated and non-designated heritage assets in the flood risk area. The location and presence of these sites will affect what land management options can be employed to manage flood risk. The advice provided in the LFRMAP will also highlight the importance of adaptation measures such as design resilience (retrofitting) for historic buildings to prevent future deterioration of heritage assets. Also, identifying that using good design for flood risk management measures, particularly structural defences, river enhancement and other land management options will improve their look and feel and respect the settings of historic buildings.

Annex 4. Surface Water Property Counts
The information below describes the methodology of deriving surface water property counts used to generate the surface water statistics in the NW FRMP. Why are property counts more complicated for surface water than other types of flooding? For fluvial and coastal flooding we use a simple counting methodology, looking at the number of property points which fall inside the flood outline. This gives a good approximation of the number of properties in areas affected by flooding as shown in Figure 1, diagram A below. Figure 1 – Difference in typical flooding outline between fluvial and surface water flooding
Counting the number of properties in areas at risk of surface water flooding is more challenging than for fluvial and coastal flooding. As shown in Figure 1, diagram B above, flooding from surface water is typically much more dispersed and fragmented than a fluvial floodplain, for example in narrow corridors between and around buildings. As a result, a much higher proportion of properties are situated at the edge of an area at risk of flooding, which means that a judgement must be made as to which properties to count. We need to think much more carefully about which of these properties at the edge of a flooded area to include as this can lead to considerable variation. In addition, because of the way buildings are modelled, with raised building footprints, in some cases the surrounding area is shown as flooded when the building itself appears dry or largely dry (diagram B), even though surrounding water levels may be high enough to result in internal flooding. If the properties in diagram B are counted using a method that counts property points within the flood outline then no properties would be counted. In some cases only a small percentage of the building perimeter overlaps with the flood outline. However, this may be more of a reflection of the model grid size and the fact that buildings are raised in the model grid. The adjacent flood depth to the property may be a much better indicator of whether the model indicates a property would flood. On the other hand, if properties are counted using a method that considers any mapped flooding intersecting or within a given distance of the property footprint, then too many of the more marginal properties might be included in the count. Counts of properties in areas at risk of flooding are therefore extremely sensitive to the method used.

Key variables The modelling technique that has been used, and the type of catchment that is being modelled, can have a significant impact on how closely the counts from the mapping reflect reality. Model factors to consider include
Note that in addition, uncertainty in the model is a significant contributing factor when considering the reliability of a property count. In addition to the model factors, a number of assumptions or parameters used to carry out the property count may also significantly affect that count:
Pilot studies have shown that, within a realistic range of model assumptions and using typical property counting methods, property counts may easily vary by a factor of more than 10. This shows that property counts are very sensitive to the methods used
135 of 137
Method selected for national property counts The validation exercise showed that the closest match between the number of properties flooded, and the counted property numbers, was from use of the following parameter values:
The validation showed that this would be the best combination to give an answer to the question ‘how many properties are at risk from flooding?’ The method was then varied to provide a response to the question 'how many properties lie in areas at risk of flooding from surface water?' This was done by counting all properties where at least 50% of the external perimeter of that property (buffered by 2m), is in contact with any part of the mapped flood extent, regardless of depth. This enables the counts to be broadly compared with national counts of properties in areas at risk of flooding from rivers and the sea. Therefore the parameters that were used for our externally published national counts were as follows:
We believe that both of these figures are considerably more robust than previous estimates.
