Flooding by Locality APPENDIX F FLOODING BY LOCALITY An overview In total there were 48 separate incidents of flooding across the Borough covering 130 streets. These were a mixture of surface water and river valley flooding. In terms of river valley flooding, flood maps per locality and aeriel shots where available have also been made available and are attached to this Appendix. Key areas where river flooding occurred :- Darton Extensive flooding around the Church Street area – with significant damage to homes and busine sses and community properties – as a result of the River Dearne bursting its banks. Flooding occurred on both June dates and latterly on the 21 st January. Flooding caused highway closures and loss of power. Some power supplies are still suffering disruptio n. The majority of homes flooded were privately owned and the majority of residents made their own arrangements for alternative accommodation. Lower Barugh Extensive flooding on Dearne Hall Road to homes and the Millers Inn as a result of the River De arne breaking its banks . Dearne Hall Road was closed effectively cutting off communications to the eastern part fo the Borough. Burton Grange Extensive flooding in the Land Avenue area. This was attributable to flooding from the River Dearne and signific ant discharge from drainage systems. Pumping operations had to be undertaken to remove residual water on both occasions. The 88 homes flooded were a mix of Council and Private. Many evacuations had to take place by boat. The local community centre 50 metre s from the flooding was utilised throughout as an emergency drop in centre. Flooding occurred beyond the boundaries of the flood maps attached. Cundy Cross Grange Lane flooded with damage to the Mill of the Black Monks due to the River Dearne bursting its banks. Darfield Areas around Church View, Cliff Road and Riverside Close were flooded. Significant pumping operations had to be put into place to remove water on both floods. Flooding as a result of River Dearne bursting its banks. The main A635 Don caster Road was closed on both occasions and terraced homes from the old railway bridge towards the river were also flooded. Properties and businesses were also flooded at Aldham House . The majority of homes flooded were private, but 10 older persons bung alows had water level 6 inch from the ceilings. To accommodate these residents the authority provided longer term re -housing at nearby Woodhall flats a housing centre for older people. This facility was also used as a base for recovery operations throughou t the Darfield area. Flooding occurred beyond the boundaries of the flood maps attached. Bolton upon Dearne Riverside Gardens and Mexborough Road were the worst affected areas in Bolton upon Dearne where the River Dearne broke its banks. All homes were private with residents arranging their own accommodation. Flooding occurred beyond the boundaries of the flood maps attached. Low Valley Areas of Low Valley were flooded as a result of the River Dove breaking its banks. The River was breached in several locations, but particularly near the start of Bullings Dyke and near the Stoneyford Road Bridge. Flood water followed the course of Bullings Dyke and flooded the Ings Road Travellers’ Site and homes in the Station Rd area . No warning system is in place on the River Dove and residents have assisted in river monitoring. Extensive flooding took place in the Low Valley area – flooding homes and businesses and closing highways. Emergency evacuation of the Ings Rd site and an site had to be found at short notic e, along with electric, water and sanitary facilities. Flooding occurred beyond the boundaries of the flood maps attached. Key loca lities for significant surface flooding or flooding from local watercourses were: - • Silkstone - Homes and businesses e xtensively flooded • Cawthorne , some homes flooded • Gilroyd • Kingston • Pogmoor • Higham • New Lodge • Athersley North – Some homes flooded • Carlton – Homes flooded • Athersley South • Monk Bretton • Kendray • Stairfoot • Grimethorpe – homes flooded including residential care ho me • Shafton • Royston • Great Houghton – homes flooded • Thurnscoe – Homes flooded, including residential care home (severe drainage discharge) • Oxspring / Penistone – homes / businesses flooded (river Don) • Goldthorpe – Homes flooded • Hoyland – homes flooded • Elseca r – Homes flooded (Other isolated properties were also affected by surface water flooding throughout the Borough). At Grimethorpe and Thurnscoe residential care homes had to be evacuated, with significant problems experienced at Dearne Lea. .

  • Planned Industrial Settlements
    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Barnsley Character Zone Descriptions Planned Industrial Settlements Summary of Dominant Character As the coal seams are near to the surface in the west of the district they could be utilised from an early date and documentary evidence puts coal mining here back as far as the medieval period. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This small-scale style of mining continued into the early 19 th century, but by the mid 19 th century advances in the technologies of transport, ventilation and pumping were beginning to make the exploitation of the deeper seams further east a reality (Hill 2001, 16). This led to a vast increase in mining in the district. Existing coal mines in the area were expanded and new shafts sunk, producing increasing demands for workers. The provision of the initial houses for the workers at collieries in Barnsley was generally the responsibility of single landlords; planned settlements are larger and later examples of such guided development. The dominant characteristics of this zone largely relate to character areas that developed rapidly prior to 1939, to accommodate miners working on the exposed coal field in central and eastern Barnsley. Also included are the estates built for the workforce at the Iron and Steel works in Penistone and the development of ‘Stairfoot Planned Housing’ and ‘Planned Wombwell’, which were substantially influenced by the nearby glassworks. Some of the settlements within this zone, such as ‘Staincross Common’ and ‘Bolton Upon Dearne Miners Housing’, have only a limited amount of pre- Second World War housing and saw their main expansion between 1960 and 1980.

  • Settlement Profiles
    Settlement Profiles Local Plan Evidence Base www.doncaster.gov.uk Doncaster Settlement Profiles 1.1. As part of the emerging Local Plan, a Settlement Audit was undertaken in 2014 to better understand the service provision across the borough, which in turn helped to determine the Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy. This process is dealt with at length in both the Settlement Audit and the Settlement Background Paper. 1.2. However, some consultation responses to the Settlement Audit and the Homes and Settlements consultation intimated that the Settlement Audit could be further expanded on and clarified. 1.3. As such, the following profiles have been developed which seeks to provide portraits of each defined settlement within the borough (the Main Urban Area; 7 Main Towns; 10 Service Towns and Villages; and 12 Defined Villages). 1.4. Each portrait will expand on the results of the Settlement Audit, and will provide ‘profiles’ for each settlement, dealing with social, economic and environmental matters, as per the Settlement Audit. 1.5. Occasionally, some scores or information published in the Settlement Audit Update (2017) have been amended. These amendments and the rationale are presented overleaf in Table A. 1.6. Information about the Settlement Hierarchy and allocations within each settlement are provided in the Settlement Background Paper and Site Selection Methodology. For convenience, a number of abridged settlement profiles have also been provided in the Settlement Housing Summaries. 1 Settlement Amendment Rationale Change to Scores? Auckley – Settlement scores merged Settlement made up of two Scores now reflect the combined settlement proposed Hayfield Community Profile Areas so in the Settlement Hierarchy.

However, it wasn’t until between 1550 and 1700 that the industry expanded (Hill 2001, 54). These early mines were shallow, relatively small scale, short-lived operations because there were few transport links beyond local markets. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This style of mining continued into the early 19 th century but the coming of railways in the mid 19 th and 20 th century and the building of the canals facilitated greater expansion. The greatest density of coal seams in the South Yorkshire coalfield was along the centre of the coal measures running through the east of Barnsley. This meant that although these seams had been worked for half a century longer than the concealed coal measures east of Barnsley there were similar reserves remaining (ibid, 14).
