  • Approaches to Building Flood Resilience for Communities
    Approaches to building flood resilience for Communities A Worcestershire case study exploring issues and opportunities for the historic environment in relation to flooding Summary In 2014/15 Historic England commissioned Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, in collaboration with Dr Andy Howard of Landscape Research and Management, and community and organisational partners, to investigate the direct and indirect effects of flooding, to the county's historic environment and landscape character. A key recommendation of the project was the need to further investigate how the historic environment profession can better engage with communities and individuals looking to build resilience and plan for future flood events. This report further investigates the relationships between historic environment professionals, communities and 'hard to reach' groups, including insurance companies, loss adjustors, structural engineers and building contractors. The issues highlighted, through surveys and communications, are laid out alongside case studies of, and opportunities for, good practice. The surveys, discussions with local communities and examples of existing projects, show that there is a lot that can be achieved in terms of empowering communities to build resilience for the future, and a lot that the historic environment profession can do to support this. At an individual building level there are problems with a lack of understanding of traditional construction methods by many of the parties pushing for property-level interventions. The historic environment profession needs to disseminate our knowledge and advice in better ways because the evidence shows that the owners and custodians of these properties are keen to receive it. On a wider scale whole-catchment projects offer an opportunity for communities to be involved in reducing and mitigating flood risk through enhancement of the natural and historic environment.

Introduction 1.1 Background The A46 corridor runs for 250 kilometres between the South West of England and Humberside, through the Midlands. The corridor comprises the M69 and short sections of the M1 and A45. At either end, the corridor divides into a number of corridors, notably the A15 and A1173 in the north, and the A44 and A435 in the south (the A46 begins again in Cheltenham and continues via Stroud to Bath). The majority of the A46 corridor is within the area of interest for this study, as shown in Figure 1-1. The A46 corridor performs many functions: a bypass to the major settlements along its length (such as Coventry, Leicester, Newark and Lincoln); a connection between radial road corridors (such as the M1 and A1); and providing access to the Port of Bristol, the Humber Ports, and South Wales. The road’s form is as varied as its function: from single carriageway ‘A’ road with local accesses to three-lane dual carriageways and motorways. As a consequence of the design of the roads in the corridor and the widely-varying demand for its use, the performance of the corridor also varies considerably.
