Norfolk County Council Managing Flood Risk December 2012 Norfolk County Council Managing flood risk Introduction Floods can happen anywhere at anytime and can be caused by rising ground water levels, burst “...the role of local water pipes, run-off from sudden rainfall as well authorities should be as flooding from rivers and the sea. enhanced so that they take on responsibility for In 2007, exceptional flooding across England saw 55,000 properties flooded and around 7,000 people rescued from the flood waters by leading the co-ordination the emergency services. of flood risk management in their areas.” 5,000 properties were damaged in the extreme weather events in Sir Michael Pitt the summer and autumn of 2012; more than half were hit not by overflowing rivers but by surface water. Locally, in 2006 a torrential thunderstorm flooded over 50 properties including six schools in Great Yarmouth, more properties and businesses were flooded from Hemsby to Hopton on Sea and serious disruption was caused to a much wider area. The impact of the flood and the disruption of traffic was exacerbated by the failure of a pumping station and the early closure of many schools. Sir Michael Pitt’s review of the flooding in 2007 stated that “the role of local authorities should be enhanced so that they take on responsibility for leading the co- ordination of flood risk management in their areas”. The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 provides for this through the new role of the Lead Local Flood Authority, which has been conferred on Norfolk County Council. Pictured above Great Yarmouth, 2006 1 Understanding local flood risk Based on national surface water modelling approximately 37,000 properties in Norfolk are What is flooding? estimated to be at risk from flooding during a Quite simply a flood is rainfall event with a 1 in 200 annual chance of any case where land occurring. Through this process, Norfolk was not normally covered recognised as the 10th most at risk area out of by water becomes 152 Authorities in England. covered by water. The Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) process provides a consistent high level overview of the potential risk of flooding from local sources such as surface water and ordinary watercourses. Norfolk County Council completed its PFRA PFRA Priority Areas report in 2011. This informs our Local Flood Risk Management Strategy by identifying areas potentially Ranking Settlement at flood risk and that require more detailed studies Norwich including such as through Surface Water Management Plans. 1 Drayton, Taverham and Cringleford Gt. Yarmouth including Gorleston and Bradwell 2 King’s Lynn including North and South Wootton Dereham Thetford Cromer 3 North Walsham Sheringham Wymondham Pictured left Dersingham, 2011 2 New responsibilities for Norfolk County Council The Government’s response to the Pitt Review was to put in place a new piece of legislation called the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. This Act places new powers, duties and responsibilities on Norfolk County Council to fulfil its role as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). Norfolk County Council is now required to: ● Develop, maintain, apply and monitor a strategy for local flood risk management in Norfolk. ● Investigate all significant flooding incidents; significant flooding will usually refer to the flooding of internal properties, important buildings or structures and main routes i.e. those used by emergency vehicles. ● Maintain an asset register of structures and features that affect flood risk. ● Issue consents on works that affect the flows of ordinary watercourses. To assist the County Council in controlling certain activities that might have an adverse effect on flooding we also have new permissive powers which include being able to: Where we are now: ● Undertake flood risk management work where it relates to Norfolk County Council has ground water or surface water runoff. a small team dedicated to ● Enforce against obstructions, un-consented works and the lack investigating flooding incidents, of maintenance of ordinary watercourses. developing the asset register ● Designate a structure or feature which affects an area of local and dealing with issues relating flood risk. to ordinary watercourses. 3 Working in partnership What are the dangers The Norfolk Water Management Partnership from flooding?

Early work has started on gathering data for a SWMP in the North Norfolk district. 5 Developing a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 requires the Lead Local Flood Authority to develop a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) in its area. Key requirements of the strategy are to: ● Assess local flood risk across Norfolk. ● Set objectives for managing local flood risk. ● Propose measures to achieve those objectives. ● Detail how and when the measures are expected to be Where we are now: implemented including their costs, Officers are currently drafting the strategy.

Development of the strategy will also be informed by the production of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), and Habitats Regulation Assessment. Based upon the above evidence coordinated approaches to addressing drainage and flood risk issues are being developed and these will be transposed into policies within the LFRMS. As elements of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 are still not in place the strategy will need to reflect future changes in legislation. These changes may occur prior to the adoption of the strategy or may form part of an early review. 6 Sustainable drainage for new developments Under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 Government is proposing to make all Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) Sustainable Drainage Systems Approving Bodies (SAB). This status requires Norfolk County Council to deliver new statutory duties for the approval, adoption and maintenance of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) on new development. SuDS are a more natural approach to managing the rainfall and surface water drainage for a development. SuDS are designed to mimic or improve the drainage of a natural undeveloped catchment. SuDS provide multiple benefits including: ● Reducing the flood risk. ● Replenishing the groundwater. ● Enhancing wildlife habitats. Where we are now: ● Encouraging recreation and education. Norfolk County Council is ● SuDS can comprise a variety of components all of which reduce currently awaiting confirmation the impact of water flow on existing watercourses and sewer from Government of the networks.

Joining U3A, amongst other societies and groups, was part of a strategy for integrating, but editing the newsletter could have been over-ambitious. In fact we have found support with Penny Dossetor as coordinator, and more recently have been joined by Edward and Judith Harrison. In a way this edition mirrors our experience in discovering U3A. I found that the nature and status of U3A was not well known in the town. The brief statement from the official web-site is (may I say?) rather daunting: U3As are self-help, self-managed lifelong learning co- operatives for older people no longer in full time work, providing opportunities for their members to share learning experiences in a wide range of interest groups and to pursue learning not for qualifications, but for fun. Our experience is that the King's Lynn U3A is an organisation which is varied and welcoming, catering for an eclectic range of interests and activities.

  • `The Landscape' – North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising
    1 `The Landscape’ – North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising The Context North Wootton, South Wootton and Castle Rising occupy a substantial portion of the area of modest, but in the context of Norfolk quite prominent, upland, defined by the lower courses of the Babingley and Gaywood Rivers. Parts of King’s Lynn (the ‘absorbed’ parish of Gaywood), Roydon and Hillington extend into this upland area. Parish boundaries have been modified from time to time. For example South Wootton acquired a small strip of Roydon parish when the A149 bypass was constructed. More significantly both South and North Wootton were expanded when the outflow of the River Great Ouse was diverted by the ‘Estuary Cut’ in the mid nineteenth century. The eastern limit of the area is further defined by the ‘lowland mire’ of Roydon Common. There is clearly contrast between the landscape of the substantially sub-urbanised, but still distinctive parish of South Wootton, and that of the essentially rural village of Castle Rising. Here modern development has been limited to three small estates. The character of North Wootton, also with considerable estate development, has more in common with South Wootton than it does with Castle Rising. However, both Woottons retain significant areas of agrarian landscape as yet unaffected by the amorphous and undistinguished sprawl that largely defines Gaywood. One part of South Wootton’s present southern boundary abuts Reffley Wood, or rather a large disused clay pit on its edge. The habitat of this area of semi-natural yet still, in part, ancient woodland would be particularly under threat of engulfment from any further development on or close to its boundaries.
