This report is not addressed to and may not be relied upon by any person or entity other than the Greater Nottingham SFRA Partnership for any purpose without the prior written permission of BVL. BVL, its directors, employees and affiliated companies accept no responsibility or liability for reliance upon or use of this report (whether or not permitted) other than by the Greater Nottingham SFRA Partnership for the purposes for which it was originally commissioned and prepared. Whilst all reasonable care has been taken in this assessment we cannot guarantee that during the lifetime of the flood risk assessment water levels may not exceed those stated. The report has addressed the risk of flooding from the River Trent, River Erewash, River Derwent, River Leen, Fairham Brook, Nethergate Brook, Day Brook and other watercourses/sources specifically mentioned only, and the conclusions stated in it are based on our best estimate using available data with a precautionary approach taken where possible. We have not assessed flood risks from sources other than those specifically referred to. We must make it clear that the assessment of weather generated flooding is inexact and that analysis is limited by the accuracy and availability of recorded data. Higher water levels may occur in the future due to the actions or omissions of third parties, or to poor maintenance, blockage, storm events in excess of the design standard quoted, inaccuracy or unavailability of data. Flooding beyond that estimated in this report may also occur due to climate change. In producing this report, BVL has relied upon information provided by others. The completeness or accuracy of this information is not guaranteed by BVL. This page is intentionally left blank. Note for Developers/Landowners The Greater Nottingham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) and River Leen SFRA represent the best currently available flooding information for the City of Nottingham. They should be read in conjunction with the Environment Agency’s Flood Zone Maps as described in Paragraph 5.3 of this document. Together these two documents should be the starting point for establishing the risk of flooding to sites in the City. However, the SFRA does not replace the need for a site-specific flood risk assessment to look at the flood risk and mitigation options for your individual site. Further advice on the process for undertaking a site-specific flood risk assessment is included in Section 4 of this document. It is important that when considering flooding to your individual site, you give due regard to climate change and the impact of proposed flood mitigation measures on flood risk to land elsewhere. Further advice on flood protection measures can be found in the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) publication entitled ‘Improving the Flood Performance of New buildings’ available at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/flood_performance.pdf and Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) publication ‘Preparing for Floods’ available at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/odpm/4000000009282.pdf?lang=_e The Environment Agency will expect a site-specific flood risk assessment to consider sustainable forms of surface water management (e.g. SUDS) in preference to traditional forms of drainage. Further advice can be found in the Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) publication ‘SUDS Design Manual for England and Wales ’ or www.ciria.org/suds/ A site specific flood risk assessment will need to conform with the advice contained in Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS 25). Excerpts of PPS 25 are included in Appendix B of this document. The Environment Agency encourages pre-planning discussions, in particular of major developments, in order to establish the constraints to delivery of sites at the earliest opportunity. You should also discuss application of the flood risk Sequential Test with the Planning Case Officer at Nottingham City Council. i This page is intentionally left blank. ii GREATER NOTTINGHAM STRATEGIC FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT Summary of Key Findings Contents 1.

Introduction 1.1 Project Outline 1.1.1 This document is designed to communicate to planners, landowners and developers the key findings of the study as they relate to land use planning within Nottingham City Council area. Background and Partnership 1.1.2 In December 2006, Black and Veatch (B&V) commenced a study into flood risk from the River Trent and its key tributaries through the Nottingham Core Housing Market Area on behalf of the Greater Nottingham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Partnership (GNSFRA), which comprises: • Broxtowe Borough Council • Environment Agency • Erewash Borough Council • Gedling Borough Council • Nottingham City Council • Nottingham Regeneration Limited • Nottinghamshire County Council • Rushcliffe Borough Council • Severn Trent Water. 1.1.3 The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) draws upon updated river modelling and survey data to predict how the River Trent and its key tributaries will react during various storm events, including the key planning benchmark - the 1 in 100 annual chance flood event1. 1.1.4 For Nottingham City Council, the SFRA primarily consolidates and expands upon existing flooding information to provide a more complete picture of flood risk and its impact on planning. Project Purpose 1.1.5 The purpose of the SFRA is to: • provide a map-based planning tool that can be used by planning officers to inform the Local Development Framework (LDF) process and individual planning applications; • inform and anticipate the Environment Agency’s response to the various stages of the planning process; 1 Probability of flooding is expressed in terms of the statistical likelihood of an event being exceeded in a given year, such as “the 1 in 100 annual chance flood event” or similar. This is often abbreviated as the 1 in 100 year flood. It is essential to appreciate that the 1 in 100 chance flood may re-occur in less than 100 years. 1 • help steer new development away from areas of highest risk; and • assist with emergency planning. Primary Outputs 1.1.6 The primary outputs of the SFRA are: • more accurate flood maps indicating areas of flooding at the 1 in 20, 1 in 100, 1 in 100 plus climate change and 1 in 1000 annual chance flood events with both the existing and proposed defences; • flood dynamic plans illustrating depths and direction of anticipated flows shown on Maps 4–NCC–01 to 06; • flood hazard maps providing information on the varying degrees of risk within the floodplain based upon the predicted depths and velocities of flood water (see Table 2.1 for further information on flood hazard ratings) shown on Maps 4–NCC–07 to 18; • breach maps showing the impact of failure of the flood defences on flood risk shown on Maps 1–FDP–30 and Map 1–FDP–33; and • other sources of flooding map consolidating factual and anecdotal evidence held by a variety of organisations on sources of flooding other than from rivers within the Nottingham City Council area e.g. sewer flooding, drainage issues, groundwater flooding etc. shown on Map 1–OTH- 03 and Table 6.1 at the end of the report. 1.1.7 The SFRA will be reviewed when significant events occur, which require updates to the mapping (e.g. flood event, changes to planning policy, defence works or development affecting major floodplain compensation/ storage areas etc). Relationship between the SFRA and Existing Flood Zone Mapping 1.1.8 The SFRA differs from the Environment Agency’s Flood Zone Maps by providing flood mapping taking into account existing flood defences. The Flood Zone Maps (as published on the Environment Agency’s web site) ignore the presence of man made structures (e.g. flood defences, railway embankments etc.). 1.1.9 The SFRA provides more refined flooding information for the River Trent and its key tributaries and the SFRA should be used to compliment the Flood Zone Maps.

    Formal Observations of Linby & Papplewick Parish Councils – Objection Application Ref: 2013/1406 Application by The Co-operative Group Outline Application for demolition of three properties on Papplewick Lane to provide access for a residential development, education provision, public open space and attenuation ponds with Access defined and all other matters reserved Impact on Flooding, Drainage and Water Quality 1. RLP Policy ENV1 (Development Criteria) states that all developments must incorporate best practice in the protection and management of water resources, whilst RLP Policy ENV40 (River Environment) states that planning permission will not be granted for development that would have an adverse effect on water quality. ACS Policy 1 (Climate Change) states that development proposals will be expected to deliver “high levels of sustainability” in order to mitigate against and adapt to climate change, including flood risk and sustainable drainage. Similar objectives are sought by the Framework. 2. The application is accompanied by a number of reports seeking to deal with issues of flooding and drainage, prepared in the main by Hyder Consulting (UK) Limited. Analysis of various documents submitted in support of the application highlights a number of serious short comings associated with the proposed development, as highlighted below. 3. By way of background, a report on the Greater Nottingham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (GNSFRA) prepared by GBC Planning Policy Manager and tabled at GBC Cabinet meeting on 4th September 2008 and subsequent Planning Committee on 9th Sept 2008 concluded: - “For Gedling Borough, the SFRA primarily consolidates and expands upon existing flooding information to provide a more complete picture of flood risk and its impact on planning.

  • RIVER TRENT and the TRENT and MERSEY CANAL
    RIVER TRENT and the TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL The River Trent rises near Biddulph Moor in Staffordshire and flows through that county and the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and finally, after 168 miles, Humberside. It ends at Trent Falls and its confluence with the Rivers Ouse and Humber. The Trent is our third longest river. Its principal tributaries being; the rivers Sow, Tame, Dove, Derwent, Erewash, Soar and Idle, all of which are canoeable. The River Trent is known to be practicable from Trentham Park, except in dry spells, but the usual starting place for "the 100 mile" is either from Stone on the Trent or Penkridge on the River Penk, then into the River Sow joining the Trent at Haywood. The Trent and Mersey Canal runs parallel for much of its length, and provides an alternative route. River Grading: 1 - 2 Water Authorities: River Trent - Severn-Trent Canal - B.W.B.

  • Housing Allocations Sequential Test
    Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies Housing Allocations Sequential Test April 2018 KS/CLI/05 Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Context and Background 1 3. Sequential Test 3 Appendix 1: Preferred Housing Sites within Flood Zones 2 and 3a 8 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper sets out the Sequential Test for the proposed development allocations identified in Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (hereafter referred to as Local Plan Part 2). Following the steps outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the national Planning Practice Guidance, the sequential approach is designed to ensure that, wherever possible, sites at little or no risk of flooding are developed in preference to sites at higher risk of flooding. 1.2 The sequential test covers two main elements: Part 1 provides information about the allocations including flood risk, flood defences, proposed and existing uses and the vulnerability classification related to these uses; and Part 2 sets out the sequential test for each location. 2. Context and Background 2.1 Rushcliffe’s northern boundary is formed by the River Trent, which flows southwest to northeast through the main urban area of Nottingham, pass Newark, Gainsborough and Scunthorpe and finally into the Humber Estuary. 2.2 West Bridgford is the largest ‘settlement’ in Rushcliffe, comprising Nottingham’s main urban area south of the River Trent. Given its proximity to the river and the extent of low lying areas within the floodplain, significant areas of West Bridgford are identified as being at risk of river flooding.
