1. Part 1: Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 1.1 Introduction 1.2 It is best practice for the Main Issues Report (MIR) and the preparation of the Local Development Plan (LDP) to be informed, and supported, by a strategic overview of flood risk management issues, in the form of a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). 1.3 The SFRA allows local authorities to consider flood risk early on in the development plan process. It should also provide a strategic overview of flood risk in the LDP area, and support officers in the identification of the areas most suitable for development. It can also be used to identify sites that should not be used for development but are more suited to sustainable flood management. 1.4 The assessment of land for flood risk that we have undertaken has been considered at both the strategic level as well as the local level. The SFRA includes information gained from SEPA as well as Aberdeenshire Councils Flood and Coast Protection Team at the time of the preparation of the assessment. Also included in the SFRA is an analysis of planning policies from national, strategic and local policies and how the council complies with these policies. 2. Aims and Objectives 2.1 The main aim of the assessment is to provide information so as to avoid increasing overall flood risk by avoiding locating development in areas which are at risk of flooding through careful consideration of all types of flooding, including costal/tidal, pluvial and river based. 2.2 The main objectives of the SFRA are to: • Ensure development does not take place in areas of flood risk or contribute to flooding elsewhere; • Provide the baseline on flooding issues for the Environmental Report; • Identify the flood risk areas based on the risk framework presented in the Scottish Planning Policy (SPP); and • Provide an evidence-based report to inform the LDP. • Develop policies for flood risk management. 2.3 The key role of the SFRA is to identify if the potential development sites within the MIR are suitable for allocation as part of the subsequent plan making process. It should also mean that flood risk mitigation measures should not be necessary to overcome flood risk as the sites that would require this should be screened out through the allocation of sites. 3. Background 3.1 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 sets out a statutory framework for delivering a sustainable and risk-based approach to managing flooding. The Act also sets duty on SEPA and local authorities to exercise flood related functions to reduce the overall risk of flooding and also to promote sustainable flood risk management. There are also two other main tasks which are set out in the act which are the preparation of assessments of the likelihood and impacts of flooding, and catchment focused plans to address these impacts. 3.2 By June 2016 flood risk management plans will be in place across Scotland which should then be taken into account when development plans are being

Page 1 of 149

prepared. However, before this date and to provide a baseline to inform the LDP it is helpful to prepare a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. This is to ensure that new development would be free from significant flood risk and new development would not increase flooding elsewhere. 4. Planning Policy 4.1 The Scottish Planning Policy suggests that the land allocated for development should be located in areas with the lowest risk to flooding first with the highest risk areas generally not suitable for most forms of development. The SPP also contains a risk framework which shows the return period and probability associated with river and coastal flooding as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Risk Framework

RISK FRAMEWORK Category One – Little or no risk areas Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal flooding is less than 0.1% (1:1000).

• No constraints due to watercourse, tidal or coastal flooding.

Category Two – Low or medium risk areas Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal flooding is in the range of 0.1%-0.5% (1:1000-1:200).

• It will not usually be necessary to consider flood risk unless local conditions indicate otherwise. These areas will be suitable for most development. A flood risk assessment may be required at the upper end of the probability range (i.e. close to 0.5%) or where the nature of development or local circumstances indicate heightened seriousness of the risk (as opposed to the probability of the risk). • Water resistant materials and construction may be required depending on the flood risk assessment. • Subject to operational requirements, including response times, these areas are generally not suitable for essential civil infrastructure such as hospitals, fire stations, emergency depots etc. Where such infrastructure must be located in these areas or is being substantially extended, it must be capable of remaining operational and accessible during extreme flooding events.

Category Three – Medium to high risk areas Annual probability of watercourse, tidal or coastal flooding is greater than 0.5% (1:200).

• Generally not suitable for essential civil infrastructure such as hospitals, fire stations, emergency control centres, schools, electricity supplies, telephone exchanges, mobile telephone or broadcasting transmitters, where facilities must continue to function in times of flooding. • The policy for development on functional flood plains applies. • Land raising is only acceptable in exceptional circumstances. • Within settlements: i) Medium to high risk areas may be suitable for residential, institutional, commercial or industrial development, provided flood prevention measures to the appropriate standard already exist, are

Page 2 of 149

under construction or are planned as part of a long term development strategy. ii) Water resistant materials and construction should be used where appropriate. • Outwith settlements: i) Medium to high risk areas are generally not suitable for additional development, including residential, institutional, commercial and industrial development. ii) Development may be allowed in exceptional circumstances, if a location is essential for operational reasons, e.g. for navigation and water based recreation uses, agriculture, transport or some utilities infrastructure, and an alternative lower risk location is not achievable. Such infrastructure should be designed and constructed to remain operational during floods. iii) It may be suitable for some recreation, sport, amenity and nature conservation uses, provided adequate evacuation procedures are in place. iv) In exceptional circumstances, job-related accommodation (e.g. for caretakers and operational staff) may be acceptable, if it is associated with development listed in ii) or iii) above. v) New caravan and camping sites should not be located in these areas. vi) If built development is permitted, measures to manage flood risk are likely to be required and the loss of flood storage capacity must be minimised. Water resistant materials and construction should be used where appropriate.

4.2 Within the proposed Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Plan 2013 under the sustainable development and climate change section there is a target relating to flooding. The target is to avoid development on land which is at an unacceptable risk to river or coastal flooding. The plan also states ways in which to try and meet the targets, which in this case it is to ensure the Local Development Plans do not identify any land for development which is in areas subject to flooding. 4.3 Aberdeenshire Council’s Local Development Plan 2012 Policy 8 Layout, siting and design of new developments supplementary guidance (SG LSD8: Flooding and erosion) is in agreement with the Strategic Development Plan and discourages development from taking place in the areas which are or can be at risk from flooding. 5. Natural Flood Risk Management (NFRM) 5.1 To help achieve some of the broad aims in the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 (FRMA) local authorities where possible are expected to use natural approaches in managing the sources and pathways of flood waters. Under legislation SEPA are required to complete a national assessment of where natural flood management could help reduce flood risk by December 2013. This information can then be used by all local authorities. Aberdeenshire Council also use Natural Flood Risk Management where appropriate such as in Portsoy, to the north of Aberdeenshire, where there ‘leaky’ barriers were installed to reduce the rate of runoff over the agricultural fields. 6. Aberdeenshire Council Flood Risk Strategy 6.1 Up until 2009 Aberdeenshire Council Flood and Coast Protection team prepared Biennial Reports on Flooding. The legislation, the Flood Risk

Page 3 of 149

Management (Scotland) Act 2009, requires Local Flood Risk Management Strategies and Local Risk Management Plans to be developed, reviewed and published every six years. These strategies and plans will outline the prioritised, plan-led, risk-based management of flooding issues and proposed actions and supersede the Biennial Reports. 6.2 A North East Scotland Flood Liaison and advice group (NESFLAG) consisting of representatives from Local Councils and representatives from relevant bodies such as SEPA, Scottish Water and the insurance industry was in operation until 2010. This group has now been superseded by the Local Advisory Group, set up under the requirements of the new FRM legislation. 7. Study Area Flood Sources 7.1 As part of the National Flood Risk Assessment SEPA has identified Local Plan Districts based on river catchments and Potentially Vulnerable Areas where there is a risk of flooding. This SFRA covers the Aberdeenshire Council area, which forms the majority of the North East Local Plan District. The southern part of Aberdeenshire falls within the Tay Estuary and Montrose Basin Local Plan District. The NFRA published in December 2011 identified that the main source of flood risk in the area comes from river and surface water. Coastal flood risk is not seen as significant when looking at the area as a whole. The information for the North East and for the Tay Estuary and Montrose Basin can be compared to information which was gathered through the National Flood Risk Assessment, for the whole of Scotland. The information is shown below in Figure 1. SEPA have also identified a number of Potentially Vulnerable Areas which lie within Aberdeenshire and these are summarised in Table 2 below.

Table 2 below shows the towns and villages which are situated in Potentially Vulnerable Areas. Some of the towns and villages have been highlighted by SEPA as having more than 50 properties at risk and others have been identified by Aberdeenshire Council’s Flood and Coast Protection Team.

7.2 There are a number of towns in Aberdeenshire Council that fall within the Potentially Vulnerable Areas. The identification of Potentially Vulnerable Areas were carried out by SEPA and then published by SEPA and the Scottish Government in December 2011. Further assessment of flood risk is carried out during the process of identifying sites for development to include in the MIR and the LDP. This process differs from the Potentially Vulnerable Areas as it includes smaller towns and villages and also areas where less than 50 properties are at risk. 7.3 It is also worth noting information which has been gained from the National Flood Risk Assessment regarding the number of properties on flood plains. Looking at the whole of the North East Local Plan District which includes Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, part of Moray and part of the Cairngorms National Park Authority it can be seen that approximately 5,000 properties are located on a flood plain. This means that just above 2% of the properties in this area are on a floodplain. 7.4 Comparing this to the Tay Estuary and Montrose Basin there is approximately 7,500 properties which are located on flood plain which in turn means that within the area just over 4% of the properties in the area are on a floodplain. Both of the statistics are slightly higher in the Tay Estuary and Montrose Basin than in the North East which could account for the slightly more flooding happening to the south of Aberdeenshire. Even though the Tay Estuary and Montrose Basin has slightly higher statistics it is not the worst district as the other Local Plan Districts range between 1%, in Shetland, to nearly 10% in Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside. 8. Historical Flooding 8.1 Flooding is an important issue to consider and there is a history of flooding across the Local Development Plan area. It can be identified by using Table 3 that coastal streams and minor watercourse flooding is an ongoing issue within Aberdeenshire Council. It is important to note however, that from the above category that the minor watercourses are the greatest concern due to the inland location of some of the areas within the table. This is in line with the National Flood Risk Assessment which stated that fluvial flooding was more problematic than coastal flooding. 8.2 The period of time that the study is going to look into for the historic flooding is the last five years, 2008-2013. It is also worth noting that between 2008 and 2013 there have been four occasions where rainfall events have caused widespread flooding. In particular, the flooding in November 2009 where there were forty one events reported to the authority within one month.

9.0.1 This section includes information on flood protection schemes, other flood protection works, and community resilience. It is important to note however, flood defences reduce the risk of flooding but are only designed to protect against a flood of a given size. This means that flooding can happen in areas that have flood defences if the flood is greater than the level protected against. 9.0.2 SEPA are currently preparing hazard maps which will be published in December 2013 showing the risk and hazards from fluvial, coastal and pluvial flooding. 9.1 Flood Protection Schemes 9.1.1 The Scottish Government’s Flood Defence Asset Database (SFDAD) holds a record of flood prevention schemes constructed by local authorities under the Flood Prevention (Scotland) Act 1961 (as amended 1997). From this database it can be seen that there are three schemes within the Aberdeenshire area:

• Fettercairn • Inverurie Strathburn • Inverurie Overburn

9.1.2 The Inverurie schemes were introduced into the Act in 1978 and the Fettercairn scheme was introduced in 1984. Within the Act both of the schemes are classified as Category B which is in the middle of the classifications which range from A to C. The Act states that schemes which are categorised as category B classifications have a reasonable likelihood of protecting properties. In the majority of cases more detailed flood studies have been completed. 9.1.3 Existing flood protection schemes: 9.1.4 As well as the flood protection schemes that are held with the Scottish Government’s Flood Defence Asset Database, the council has also completed two other flood protection schemes since 2008. These were in Whitehills which was constructed in 2010/11 and in Fettercairn which was functioning in early 2012. 9.1.5 Aberdeenshire Council’s Seventh Biennial Flood Report outlines a number of actions and proposals. Aberdeenshire Council have carried out works of maintenance in many locations where by doing so would significantly reduce the likelihood of flooding. Wherever possible the council also proceeds generally on the basis of a presumption for soft engineering methods (land

Page 10 of 149

forming and creation of flood water capacity) unless the conditions dictate otherwise. 9.1.6 Throughout the council area there have been works of maintenance or minor improvements which have been carried out in the following locations:

• Aboyne • Inverbervie • Alford • Macduff • Banff • Marykirk • Balmedie • Peterhead • Fettercairn • Philorth • Gardenstown • Stonehaven

9.1.7 There have also been flood studies carried out at the following locations across the council:

• Burn of Cauldcotts, Fettercairn • Ythan Estuary, Newburgh • Tarland Burn, Tarland and Aboyne • Johnshaven (coastal flood/ erosion assessment) • Coastal landslip studies at Stonehaven and Pennan 9.1.8 Within Aberdeenshire Council there has also been major flood protection works which have recently been completed: • Johnshaven Coast – The area was threatened by coastal erosion. The completed work consisted of a 100 metre long rock revetment. 9.1.9 Also within the council there has been flood alleviation works which have been completed. Both of these schemes were completed as properties in the areas were being flooded on a frequent basis: • Whinnyfold, Cruden Bay and • Alford. 9.2 Planned flood protection schemes: 9.2.1 Aberdeenshire Council recognises that regular maintenance can contribute significantly to the prevention or mitigation of flooding and therefore propose to continue carrying out further clearance and repair works of Maintenance under the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) 2009 Act. These works should reduce the likelihood of flooding where a significant risk has been assessed. 9.2.2 The council may also commission flood studies to better understand the mechanisms of flooding in particular areas. The studies will be undertaken in:

• Marykirk (in conjunction with restoration funding from SEPA). 9.2.3 Flood studies have been carried out in both Stonehaven and Huntly which have lead to there being flood protection schemes being proposed in the two areas. There have also been other flood protection schemes most which are at different stages: • Tarland Burn, Aboyne • Fordyce flood alleviation project – design stage • Rothienorman flood alleviation project – design stage • Boddam – feasibility stage • Fettercairn Phase II – feasibility stage

Page 11 of 149

9.2.4 Within Aberdeenshire proposed flood alleviation works are also proposed in: • Boddam, Peterhead – proposed flood alleviation works due to a current problem with surface water coming off the trunk road and flooding domestic property. There has been agreement from Scottish Water to undertake necessary connections to the surface water sewer. It is intended that this scheme is progressed in partnership with Transport Scotland/BEAR who are providing a financial contribution. • Scotstown, Banff – proposed coast protection works being progressed to strengthen and repair the damage to the existing seawall. 9.3 Surface Water 9.3.1 Within Aberdeenshire there are known places where there are problem areas for surface water including:

• Aboyne • Macduff • Rosehearty • Alford • Mill of Uras • Rothienorman • Boddam • Newmachar • St Cyrus • Ellon • New Pitsligo • Stonehaven • Fordyce • Oldmeldrum • Strichen • Huntly • Old Rayne • Tarland • Inverurie • Portsoy • Turriff • Lumphanan • Peterhead • Luthermuir • Portlethen

9.4 Functional Flood Plain 9.4.1 The functional flood plain is the area where water is conveyed or stored at times of flood. The Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) identifies the functional flood plain for planning purposes is the area that has a greater than 0.5% (1:200) probability of river or coastal flooding in any year. Development on the functional flood plain will not only be at risk itself, but it may also add risk to places elsewhere due to the loss of flood water storage capacity. This means that built development should only take place on functional flood plains where it will not affect the ability of the flood plain to store and pass on water, where the development is not at risk from flooding and where the development will not increase the risk of flooding elsewhere. 9.5 Community Resilience 9.5.1 Within Aberdeenshire Council there are a number of community flood action groups which operate these include: • Fettercairn • Stonehaven • Portlethen • St. Cyrus • Auchenblae • Edzell Woods • Mill of Uras • Huntly 9.5.2 Flooding is an important issue across many communities in Aberdeenshire. In some areas issues of flooding are dealt with through Community Action groups/plans, and by community councils. An example of this is the Kincardine and Mearns Community Resilience plan.

Page 12 of 149

9.5.3 Aberdeenshire Council also provide a service which allows communities and members of the public to buy flood protection products at a discounted rate in order to protect their properties. The products which are available include floodgates for doors, vent guards and floodsax. This gives members of the public and communities in general more safeguarding against flooding. Aberdeenshire Council have also put in place an emergency flood action plan which is to deal with known areas of flooding problems. 10. Climate Change 10.1 It is expected that flooding will become a greater problem in the future due to the impact of climate change and the SPP advises that there is need to adapt to both short and long term impacts of climate change. The effects of climate change will increase the risk to life and risk of damage to buildings and infrastructure by flooding as well as storms, landslips and subsidence. Development should therefore be avoided in areas which are at increased vulnerability to the effects of climate change. 10.2 SEPA’s Indicative Flood Risk Map currently does not factor in climate change. In line with current guidance published by DEFRA and best practice in the industry, an increase of 20% of the peak 0.5% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flow is used to allow for future climate change for fluvial flooding. This would mean that it would be increased to a 0.6% Annual Exceedance Probability which would be a 1 in 240 year flood event. The AEP means that a flood event with a 0.5% AEP has a statistical probability of being reached or exceeded in each year of 0.5%. It is often referred to as the 1 in 200 year event flood. Aberdeenshire Council policy requires that the effects of climate change is included when assessing future planning applications. An allowance for climate change must also be included for the 0.5% AEP event for coastal and pluvial flooding. 10.3 It is also important to consider freeboard when calculating flood risk as this is defined as the difference between the flood defence level and the flood level of the design. SEPA recommend a minimum freeboard of 500 to 600mm. This freeboard does not take allowance for climate change and allowance for climate change should be additional to this figure. Due to the Annual Exceendance Probability being increased by 20% for climate change then this same percentage can be used for calculating the additional allowance for the freeboard. Taking climate change into account it is calculated that the freeboard should be a minimum of 600-720mm. 10.4 It is also important to note that the current SEPA Indicative Flood Risk Map does not take into account flood prevention schemes, coastal defences, predicted climate change or the effect bridges and other structures have on a flood. The Indicative Flood Maps also do not take into account potential flood risk from watercourses with a catchment of less than 3km2. 11. Strategic Overview of Flooding 11.1 The Aberdeenshire Council area has been split into six parts to show the Indicative Flood maps produced by SEPA. The maps help to identify on a strategic level the areas which are at the greatest risk and highlighting the importance of the site assessment process. It is also important to consider that the indicative flood maps do not take into account existing and planned flood defences. Surface water (pluvial) flooding is also not included in the current published indicative flood maps.

12. Part 2: Site Assessments

12.1 Detailed Assessment Process 12.2 The assessment process was undertaken to identify suitable land for development and for inclusion in the MIR and the LDP. The exercise was primarily a desktop exercise, but site visits had been undertaken where needed. There was also consultation with key experts within the council as well as gaining information from SEPA. After the council’s assessment, the sites proposed will go through wider consultation as part of the MIR. 12.3 The assessment process uses information from SEPA’s Indicative Flood Risk Maps, together with information from site visits and comments from the councils Flood and Coast Protection team. There are a number of smaller watercourses which are not included in the Indicative Flood Risk Map. These smaller watercourses can still be the cause of flooding and will be included when assessing the sites for flood risk. 12.4 Table 4 provides information on sites which have been assessed for inclusion within the MIR. Table 5 provides information on the sites being brought forward from the current Local Development Plan 2012. Each of the tables has a flooding comment relating to the sites. The flooding comments for Table 5 have been summarised from SEPA’s representations to the Proposed Development Plan. The comments for Table 4 have been completed following this manner.
