The proposed improvements include increasing the capacity of the existing system and relocating or closing combined sewer overflow (CSO) outfalls. Information provided by Severn Trent Water predicts that a total of 118 properties would significantly benefit, in relation to sewer flood risk, as a result of the proposed scheme. This includes a reduction in internal property flooding to 50 properties. Severn Trent Water has commissioned Atkins to complete this Overview Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) for these proposed improvements. The aims of this Overview FRA are to provide reassurance that the overall scheme will not have negative impact on flood risk from all sources, and to inform the Level 3 FRAs which are necessary for the two elements requiring planning permission. Whilst this Overview FRA has been completed utilising current FRA guidance, it does slightly deviate from standard FRAs owing to the general scheme falling within Severn Trent Water’s permissive power which do not require planning permission. The proposed changes to CSO outfalls within the scheme have the potential to impact fluvial flood risk along the River Trent. However hydraulic modelling completed for this Overview FRA indicates the proposed rearrangement of CSO outfalls will cause minor localised changes in peak flood levels although these changes will have negligible impact on flood extents and risk to vulnerable property. There are minor localised impacts of 20mm during the 5% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) event and 10mm during the 1% AEP event to green open spaces and other such land uses not considered vulnerable. The proposed scheme involves development within Flood Zone 3 at Crankley Point. It was requested by the Environment Agency that an initial compensation assessment was completed for these works to inform this overview FRA owing to the limited area available for compensation. This initial compensation assessment has identified that sufficient compensation could be provided in the western area of the site, based on topography alone. Other potential constraints would need to be considered during the scheme design. There are currently surface water and sewer flood risk issues in Newark-on-Trent. However the proposed scheme is for works to increase the capacity of the existing system and alleviate the existing flood risk. Although there is a low to moderate risk of groundwater flooding the scheme, it is anticipated that the works will have a negligible impact on existing groundwater flood risk within the study area. There are no other known sources of flood risk to the study area, or that would be increased as a result of the proposed scheme. Climate change is predicted to cause an increase in flood risk to Newark-on-Trent in the future, particularly in relation to increased river flow and rainfall intensity. The increased fluvial flood risk as a result of climate change has been quantified through the hydraulic modelling completed for this Overview FRA. The proposed scheme will increase the capacity of the existing sewer system and hence will provide benefits in relation to surface water flooding in the future. Areas at an increased fluvial flood risk as a result of climate change will not be put at additional risk as result of the proposed scheme, as demonstrated through the hydraulic modelling completed for this Overview FRA. In summary, owing to the driver of the proposed scheme being to alleviate flooding from the existing surface water and sewer network, this Overview FRA concludes that the proposed scheme will provide a benefit in relation to flood risk from these sources within Newark-on-Trent. In addition, the hydraulic modelling completed for this assessment concludes the proposed scheme, in relation to the rearrangement of CSO outfalls, will not have an adverse impact on fluvial flood risk. Although there is potential that sufficient floodplain compensation could be provided for the works at Crankley Point, wider constraints need to be considered. The potential increase in risk as a result of the two elements of the scheme requiring planning permission (specifically in relation to development within the floodplain) will be further assessed through the completion of Level 3 FRAs. Atkins Overview Flood Risk Assessment | Version 4.0 | January 2015 | 5117326 ii Newark Sewerage Strategy Overview Flood Risk Assessment 1. Introduction 1.1. Background Severn Trent Water have identified that there is problem with sewer flooding within Newark-on-Trent as the existing combined sewers do not have sufficient capacity during high intensity rainfall events. The insufficient capacity causes flooding within Newark-on-Trent and the excess surface water runoff discharges into the River Trent. Newark-on-Trent is a growing town, with a high density of properties. Severn Trent Water have highlighted that the sewerage from properties needs to be improved due to the aging sewer system, the existing insufficient capacity and to support the town’s growth. Severn Trent Water is proposing a sewer replacement scheme to provide additional capacity and alleviate the existing flooding in Newark-on-Trent. Atkins has been commissioned to assess the flood risk implications of the scheme. The first element of this process is this Overview Flood Risk Assessment (FRA), the purpose of which is to assess the overall impact of the proposed scheme and in particular relevance to the changes in discharge rates and locations to the River Trent. This will then be followed by more detailed Level 3 FRAs for the two proposed elements of the scheme that require planning permission. Further details of the aims and scope of this assessment is provided in Section 1.3. 1.2. Scheme Proposals The purpose of the scheme is to alleviate flooding to over 130 locations. It is proposed that this will be achieved through upsizing the capacity of the sewers in Newark-on-Trent. In addition to this, the main storm relief outfall will become a single point discharge within the boundary of the existing sewage treatment works, with a smaller discharge further upstream. The outcome of which will be a net reduction in the peak discharge rate to the River Trent, through Newark-on-Trent, during periods of heavy rainfall.

  • Advisory Visit River Trent, Stoke-On-Trent October 2014
    Advisory Visit River Trent, Stoke-on-Trent October 2014 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) to the River Trent in Stoke on Trent on 17th October, 2014. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Liz Horton and Nick Mott of Staffordshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) and subsequent discussion with (and addition of diagrams by) Paul Gaskell of WTT. SWT are the catchment hosts for the Staffordshire Trent Valley area under the government’s Catchment Based Approach to the Water Framework Directive (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/catchment-based-approach- improving-the-quality-of-our-water-environment). This advisory visit focussed on areas of the urban River Trent where significant lengths of the river are in single ownership, for example the City Council. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 1.0 Area Overview Stoke on Trent is located on the headwaters of the River Trent, the source of the river being a short distance north of the city on Biddulph Moor. The river flows south from its source, is impounded by Knypersley Reservoir, then enters the urban area at Norton Green and Milton. Tributaries within the city include Ford Green Brook (confluence at National Grid Reference SJ90404960), Fowlea Brook (confluence SJ88004500 approximately) and Lyme Brook (confluence SJ86504250). Other small tributaries include Causley Brook, Chitlings Brook, Adderley Green Brook, Bagnall Brook, Barnfield Brook, Scotia Brook, Longton Brook, and Longton Cockster Brook.

  • Advisory Visit River Derwent, Cromford, Derbyshire August, 2012
    Advisory Visit River Derwent, Cromford, Derbyshire August, 2012 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Derwent, Cromford, Derbyshire on, 23rd August, 2012. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with John Pass, Head Bailiff for Cromford Fly Fishing Club. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The Derbyshire Derwent rises in the southern Pennines between Manchester and Sheffield and flows south to join the River Trent just south-east of Derby. The upper reaches of the river are impounded by Derwent, Howden and Ladybower reservoirs and hence the river flow is influenced by compensation flows and water releases. The geology of the catchment comprises the Millstone Grit and shales of the Dark Peak and carboniferous limestone in the White Peak where tributaries such as the Wye arise. The catchment is largely rural, with pastoral agriculture the predominant land use. The middle and lower river flows through towns such as Matlock, Cromford, Belper and Derby where pioneers of the Industrial Revolution such as Richard Arkwright harnessed the river’s energy to power mills, something recognised by the World Heritage Site status of the Derwent Valley. The mill weirs, combined with historical pollution in the Trent, led to the extinction from the Derwent of migratory fish species such as salmon and river lamprey.

  • 1947 UK River Floods
    1947 U.K. River Floods: 60-Year Retrospective RMS Special Report I NTRODUCTION In the second half of March 1947, the most catastrophic river floods for at least 200 years occurred in the United Kingdom. The flooding, which inundated nearly all the main rivers in the South, Midlands, and the Northeast of England, was notable for its origins, regional extent, and duration. Impacting thirty out of forty English counties over a two week period, around 700,000 acres of land were underwater. Tens of thousands of people were temporarily displaced from their homes, and thousands of acres of crops were lost. The flooding was triggered by the rapid thaw of deep snow that covered much of the country after one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record. The thaw was triggered by the arrival of a succession of southwesterly depressions, each bringing significant additional rainfall. During this period, flooding was not only widespread in the U.K., but also extended across Europe. In Spain, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, rivers across the continent burst their banks as meltwater and heavy rainfall combined. As the event occurred before the era of flood insurance, and in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War to a backdrop of rationing and significant post-war deprivation, the overall economic impact of the catastrophe was not fully assessed at the time as impacts were considered local rather than national. Sixty years after the event, this retrospective reviews the events of March 1947 and assesses the economic and insurance costs that would be associated with a repeat of the same event in 2007.
