  • TARRING FLOOD ACTION GROUP Rain Garden Proposals
    Active Community Fund GRANT APPLICATION FORM Section D: Your funding application Community Group Tarring Flood Action Group SuDs retro solutions to surface water flooding Project Title recommendations from earlier Feasibility study. Description of issues, needs and/or initiatives Within the West Tarring Conservation Area (See attached supplementary paper -map Appendix 1) there are a number of areas that large amounts of water collects on a regular basis, and more importantly, there have been a number of occasions in the recent past (2000, 2012) when flash floods have badly affected the area, resulting in flooding of, and damage to, a number of residential and commercial properties. Tarring High Street, in the conservation area, has had several floods in recent years and old buildings at the south end of the street and at the north end of South Street / Priory Close have suffered in particular. Following discussions at a TFAG Multi-Agency Meeting, the general consensus is that the floods were caused by a number of contributing factors:- • Climate Change impacting on localised intensity of rainfall • An inability of the network of drains and gullies to cope with heavy downpour events • Blocked drains and gullies • An aging, predominantly combined, surface water and sewage system • Discharge of roof water directly on to pavements/roads • Bow-wave surges caused by uncontrolled through-traffic • The influence of the Teville Stream and its confluence with Broadwater Brook, although this factor is subject to debate. • The lack of empirical data on problem areas of pooling and flooding in the Worthing area. • The dominance of a hard landscape and the lack of any ‘natural’ means of absorbing excessive rainwater before it can develop into flooding.
