This Flood Consequence Assessment provides information pertaining to the nature of flood risk as the site and follows the Technical Advice Note 15 with regards to development and flood risk. It also considers potential next steps appropriate for mitigation options available for the development. The site area is approximately 3.71 hectares, and currently hosts the existing Cwrt Sart Comprehensive School buildings, now disused. The site is now considered to be a site for the demolition of the existing buildings and the development of a new primary school, with associated playgrounds, playing fields, sports pitches, parking, ancillary buildings and soft landscaping. Flood risk Natural Resources Wales' Development Advice Map indicated that the site is partially within both flood zones B and C2, and therefore is at risk of flooding. Flood Zone B indicates areas previously known to have flooded through examination of sediment records, and Flood Zone C2 indicates areas of floodplain not benefitting from significant flood defences. The River Neath is the source of the fluvial and tidal flooding. Tidal flooding is modelled to provide risk to the site in a 1 in 200-year scenario. Updated modelling by JBA for NRW has recently been completed for the Neath area, and part of the model covers the Cwrt Sart site. Pre-application comments submitted by NRW recommends that the site levels are compared to the modelled tidal levels of the 0.5%AEP with climate change and 0.1%AEP scenarios. As the model only partially covers the site, tidal levels were extrapolated across the remainder of the site to determine potential flood risk for the remainder of the site. It is estimated that: • The 1 in 200-year plus climate change tidal event will generate a peak water level of 7.45mAOD • The 1 in 1000-year plus climate change tidal event will generate a peak water level of 7.53mAOD When compared to the current ground levels of the site (sourced from Natural Resource Wales' 1m LIDAR dataset), it is considered that: • The site is at risk from the 1 in 200-year plus climate change event, as well as the 1 in 1000- year plus climate change event. • Maximum flood depths could potentially reach 0.75m above current ground level in the area of the planned school buildings during the 1 in 200-year plus climate change event. The site is also at risk from surface water flooding, with a depression in the site allowing water to flow and pool. Recommendations TAN15 policy A1.14 states that a highly vulnerable development such as a school should be designed to be flood free during a 0.5% AEP tidal flood event. This condition is met with the current site plan for current day tidal levels. However A1.5 states that development should be flood free for the lifetime of the development. The site is found to be within the 0.5% AEP tidal flood event including climate change (assuming development lifetime of 100 years), based on the extrapolation of the updated modelling of the River Neath, therefore finished floor levels or ground raising above the projected flood level should be considered to account for the impacts of climate change. It is recommended that, at the detailed design stage, the existing Neath model is extended to include the entire site and surrounding properties, to confirm the results of the extrapolation performed for this FCA. The model can be run to include raised site levels, to confirm impacts on flooding and surface water on the site and nearby third party land, and to review flood velocities and inundation rates (A1.15). As the planned building is located within a depression in the landscape, it is recommended that landscaping is confirmed in line with predicted tidal flood levels, and modelling run to confirm the 2017s5510 - FCA Cwrt Sart School (v1 April 2017).docx iii impacts of surface water no longer flowing into this area, and flowing off of the impermeable structures. A Surface Water Drainage Strategy is advised in this case, in conjunction with the FCA. 2017s5510 - FCA Cwrt Sart School (v1 April 2017).docx ii Contents Executive Summary ............................................................................................................ iii 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Terms of Reference ........................................................................................................... 1 1.2 FCA Requirements ............................................................................................................. 1 2 Site Description ...................................................................................................... 2 2.1 Site description................................................................................................................... 2 2.2 Site Topography ................................................................................................................. 2 2.3 Site soils and geology ........................................................................................................ 3 2.4 Watercourses ..................................................................................................................... 3 2.5 Drainage Network .............................................................................................................. 4 2.6 Development Proposal ....................................................................................................... 4 3 Planning Policy and Flood Risk ............................................................................. 5 3.1 Planning context................................................................................................................. 5 3.2 DAM Zone & Vulnerability Classification ............................................................................ 5 3.3 TAN-15 Flood Zones .......................................................................................................... 5 3.4 Policy and Guidance Review ............................................................................................. 6 4 Flood risk assessment ........................................................................................... 8 4.1 Historical flooding ............................................................................................................... 8 4.2 Existing fluvial flood risk data ............................................................................................. 8 4.3 Surface water flood risk ...................................................................................................... 13 4.4 Risk of flooding from reservoirs .......................................................................................... 13 5 Conclusions and recommendations ...................................................................... 15 Appendices .........................................................................................................................

  • 24 February 2015 LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN
    Report of the Cabinet Member for Environment & Transportation Extraordinary Council - 24 February 2015 LOCAL TRANSPORT PLAN Purpose: To adopt the Local Transport Plan Policy Framework: Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The joint Local Transport Plan will replace the Regional Transport Plan 2010 – 2015. Reason for Decision: In order that the Local Transport Plan can be adopted as the statutory policy. Consultation: A workshop with key stakeholders in July 2014 and a formal consultation on the draft final document in October 2014. Legal, Finance, Access to Services. Recommendation(s): That Council adopts the Local Transport Plan (2015 – 2020), to replace the Regional Transport Plan (2010 – 2015). Report Author: Ben George Finance Officer: Ben Smith Legal Officer: Sandie Richards Access to Services Phil Couch Officer: 1.0 Introduction 1.1 The Welsh Government took on responsibilities for transport as a result of the Transport (Wales) Act 2006 which amends the Transport Act 2000. The Welsh Government prepared a Transport Strategy for Wales in 2008 and a five year National Transport Plan in 2010. The National Transport Plan is currently being “refreshed” and consultation on a 2015- 2020 National Plan started in December 2014 . The Government now requires Local Authorities to prepare Transport Plans for the 2015 – 2020 period which are consistent with and support national strategies/plans within their specific area. 2.0 Changes to Welsh Governance Requirements 2.1. The former statutory document, the Regional Transport Plan 2010 – 2015, marked a departure from the traditional Local Authority approach to transport policy as the Welsh Government instructed Councils to work together within defined consortium areas.

  • Transport Background Paper January 2020
    Transport Background Paper Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan. January 2020 Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan Transport Background Paper 1. Introduction and Purpose 1.1 Carmarthenshire County Council is in the process of preparing the Revised Local Development Plan (LDP) for its area (excluding that part contained within the Brecon Beacons National Park). Once finalised (adopted), the Revised LDP will supersede the current adopted LDP with decisions on planning permissions primarily based on its content. 1.2 The LDP will set out a vision of how land uses will be distributed, to achieve sustainable development and support the goals set out in the Well Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. It is the role of Development Management to deliver that vision; guiding public and private investment to suitable locations using national and local policies to provide the jobs, homes and infrastructure required to meet existing and future needs. 1.3 The purpose of this Transport Background Paper is to provide supporting information for the Revised LDP, outlining the issues and challenges that will need to be addressed as well as possible policy approaches to be incorporated in the plan. It is also intended to provide an early opportunity for stakeholders and the public, through formal consultation channels, to have input to the plan. 1.4 This Transport Background Paper has been compiled using evidence sources available from current and historic studies and reflects comments received from the Welsh Government’s Network Management Division (as highway authority for the trunk road and motorways in Wales) on the candidate sites considered for inclusion in the Revised LDP.

Commentary: Pavements / footways have some defects in parts and would benefit from resurfacing. Dropped kerbs and tactile paving needed along the route. The route would benefit from the cutting back of encroaching vegetation. BRYNAMMAN INM-LBA-C001 Cycling Brynamman Forge Washery (Amman Valley Cycle Way): The route constitutes one of two remaining phases of the Medium construction of the Amman Valley Cycle Way – a project being delivered in collaboration between Neath Port Talbot CBC and Carmarthenshire County Council. The route will provide the missing link which currently exists adjacent to the Forge Washery site. Commentary: The route requires improvements to road markings / signage and lighting along the link directly off the main Amman Road (A4069). The completion of the route is linked with the development of the Forge Washery site, which has recently been granted outline planning consent for residential development. Options for the alignment of the route will be considered in conjunction with the design and layout of the residential scheme. INM-LBA-C002 Cycling Brynamman Cwmllynfell (Amman Valley Cycle Way): The route constitutes one of two remaining phases of the Long / construction of the Amman Valley Cycle Way – a project being delivered in collaboration between Neath Port Aspirational Talbot CBC and Carmarthenshire County Council.

  • 1.0 Introduction, Vision and Objectives
    Chapter 01 1.0 INTRODUCTION, VISION AND OBJECTIVES Chapter One sets the scene for the development of the Regional Transport Plan. It clarifies: • The role and purpose of SWWITCH and the Regional Transport Plan 1 • The overarching context for the regional plan, including the national, regional and local strategies and policies which influence the plan • The evidence base for the strategy and policy development • How SWWITCH has engaged with stakeholders at each stage of the plan • The regional vision, objectives and key priorities for the plan Introduction 1.1 SWWITCH - The South West Wales Integrated Transport Consortium (SWWITCH) was formed in 1998 in recognition of the need for the four Unitary Authorities in the region to work together to address increasingly complex transport and access needs, many of which cross local and regional boundaries. SWWITCH comprises the four South West Wales authorities: • Carmarthenshire County Council • Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council • Pembrokeshire County Council • City and County of Swansea More detail on SWWITCH and the way it currently operates is included in Appendix A and Figure 1.1 (page 2) shows the region and key transport infrastructure. SWWITCH recognises the need to be flexible to meet future needs and will continue to develop its constitution and organisational structure as appropriate. 1.2 Transport Strategy for Wales - The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) published One Wales – Connecting the Nation, The Wales Transport Strategy (WTS)1 in May 2008. This sets out strategic priorities for improved transport and required outcomes across Wales. These are shown in Appendix B. 1.3 WAG is also in the process of preparing a National Transport Plan (NTP)2.

Participation at oral part of examination At this stage you can only make comments in writing (these are called 'written representations'). However, everyone who wants to change the Plan can appear before and speak to the Inspector at a 'hearing session' during the Public Examination. If you are objecting to the inclusion of an 'alternative site' you will be considered to be a supporter of the Plan and you will not be entitled to speak at a hearing. But you should bear in mind that your written comments will be given the same weight by the Inspector as those made verbally at a hearing session. Participation at a Hearing Session - the Inspector will determine the most appropriate procedure to hear those who have indicated that they wish to participate at a Hearing Session of the Public Examination. Do you want your comments to be considered by YES, I want to speak at a Hearing Session 'Written Representations' or do you wish to speak at a Hearing Session of the Public Examination?
