We have been requested by The Trus M E G to undertake a Drainage Strategy and Flood Risk RunOff Assessment, for a parcel of land to the South of Racecourse Road on the Eastern limits of the Village of East Ayton near Scarborough. ii. The site is predominantly open agricultural land, and at the time of our site visit had recently been ploughed. iii. The site is roughly rectangular in shape, measuring around 2.18 Hectares, approximately 5.7 Kilometres South West of Scarborough City Centre at map reference 499439 484908. iv. The site has frontage access onto the public highway of Racecourse Road (A170)and Seamer Road (B1261)and is outlined on the enclosed location plan (Appendix 1) v. The nearest main watercourse to the site is the River Derwent, flowing in a southerly direction approximately 600m west of the site. vi. The site falls generally from the North East to the South West by approximately 8m. Highway boundary hedges to Racecourse Road and timber post and rail fence to Seamer Road form the North and south boundary respectively, the western boundary is again defined by Hedgerow to existing residential property with a BT Telephone Exchange in the south west corner to Seamer Road. There is no obvious boundary to the East. vii. The Northern part of the site is allocated within Scarborough Borough Councils (Draft) Local plan designated as residential allocation under policy HA29. viii. The objective of a Flood Risk Assessment is to demonstrate that a proposed development is sustainable in flood risk terms. This means that the development should not itself be at a significant risk of flooding or result in an increased flood risk elsewhere. The guidance given in The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that Local Authorities should adopt Proactive strategies at a local level through Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Date November 2015 Page 1 Revision Number 00 Land at Racecourse Road, East Ayton, Scarborough. ix. As a consequence of NPPF, issued in March 2012, which refers to Flooding and Flood Risk, it is necessary to provide an assessment of the potential problems which are associated with: a. Permitting the Development. b. Potential risk of flooding from the watercourse and sewer network. c. Safety of occupants of the dwellings. d. Impact upon the local hydrological network. x. In the absence of a report, the Planning Authority are required to use the P P should refuse the application, unless there are grounds for not doing so. xi. In order to provide a Flood Risk Assessment, use has been made of the information contained at the offices of the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water and Scarborough Borough Council. xii. The Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water have been consulted and their information and comments have been used in this report. 1.2. Regulatory Guidance i. National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) along with the Technical Guidance replaces PPS25 and provides the regulatory framework and guidance for Planning Authorities in relation to Flood Risk issues for new developments. Any applications lodged with a Planning Authority will be considered in conjunction with this guidance and dependant on the nature and location of the application, the Planning Authority may request a Flood Risk Assessment as part of the Planning Application documents. ii. The Environment Agency (EA) are a Statutory Consultee to the Planning Authority in relation to Flood Risk issues. In addition, many Local Authorities have their own Internal Land Drainage Department which advice on Drainage Issues and work with the EA on Strategic issues. The Land Drainage Act 1991 provides a regulatory framework for this arrangement. iii. The Agency has provided a matrix for Local Planning Authorities, which provides F ‘ A T E Agency Standing advise Development and Flood Ri F tabulates the requirements relative to the scale of development and the predicted Date November 2015 Page 2 Revision Number 00 Land at Racecourse Road, East Ayton, Scarborough. Flood Zone. The assessment is required for all sites greater than 1Ha in Flood Zone 1, and all sites regardless of size in Flood Zones 2 & 3a. iv. The Environment Agency have undertaken a national study of flood risk across the whole of England and published flood maps covering the country. The maps can be viewed on the agencies website at www.environment- agency.gov.uk/whatsinmybackyard. Specific locations can be studied by searching either using a postcode or general location. A copy of the Flood Zone Map covering this location is attached in Appendix 5. v. The EA Flood maps identify 3 zones. vi. Flood Zone 1. This zone comprises of land with less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of river or sea flooding in any one year (<0.1%) vii. Flood Zone 2. This zone comprises of land assessed as having between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 annual probability of river flooding (1%-0.1%) or between 1in 200 and 1in 1000 annual probability of sea flooding (0.5%-0.1%) in any one year. viii. Flood Zone 3. This zone comprises of land assessed as having a 1 in 100 year or greater annual probability of river flooding (>1%) or a 1 in 200 or greater annual probability of flooding from the sea (>0.5%) in any year. ix. Flood risks should consider the risk of flooding from all sources ie, tidal and river, surface water and flooding from land, groundwater, sewers and artificial sources, eg canals and reservoirs. x. The level of detail and complexity of a Flood Risk Assessment can vary considerably, dependant on the scale, nature and location of the planned development. EA guidance sets out the criteria for the level of information which should be included within the FRA. xi. According to the Environment Agencies Indicative Flood maps, the Application site falls within Flood Zone 1 and is greater than 1Hectare, therefore a site specific Flood Risk Assessment is required. xii. NPPF sets out criteria for vulnerability classifications which are based on the sensitivity of different forms of development. In accordance with NPPF, the intended M V xiii. The Sequential Test: In accordance NPPF LPA should apply the sequential test, to demonstrate that there are no available sites in the area with a lower risk of flooding. Date November 2015 Page 3 Revision Number 00 Land at Racecourse Road, East Ayton, Scarborough. xiv. The Exception Test: The Exception test is relevant if, following the application of the sequential test, it is not possible for the development to be located in zones of lower probability of flooding. The exception test criteria are detailed in NPPF. The test provides a method of managing flood risk while still allowing necessary development to occur. xv.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

  • River Response to Recent Environmental Change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, Northern England
    River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. Sean Anthony Longfield, B.Sc. (H ons) 'N/ Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Geography July 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the w'ork of others II A b s t r a c t Longfield, S.A. 1998. River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. University of Leeds, Ph.D. This study examines historical variations in flood frequency and magnitude in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England, over the last 900 years. The causes of temporal and spatial variations in flooding are evaluated through investigation of climatic and land-use controls. Documentary evidence of flooding and climate suggests that a series of large floods between 1263 and 1360 were associated with climatic deterioration from the Medieval Optimum. A shift to generally milder conditions between 1361 and 1549 resulted in no floods being documented in the Ouse basin The frequency of large magnitude floods increased dramatically between 1550 and 1680, as a result of low temperatures, increased surface wetness, more frequent snowfall and a southward shift of prevailing storm tracks over middle latitudes, associated with the onset of the "Little Ice Age’. In contrast, during a wanner phase of the Little Ice Age, between 1681 and 1763, the frequency of localised summer flooding increased in the Ouse basin due to more frequent high intensity, short duration convective storms.

  • The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? by David Renwick, Project Officer
    David Renwick, Project Officer, Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project, 19/04/06 The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? By David Renwick, Project Officer This partnership project in the Vale of Pickering aims to rehabilitate a nationally-important wetland landscape through sensitive farm management, to make the Vale a richer place for wildlife and more attractive and accessible for the benefit of all. Introduction The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project aims to help local farmers and landowners to create, manage and restore wetland habitats in the Vale of Pickering around Cayton and Flixton Carrs. It builds on the existing environmental and archaeological importance of this inspiring area. The Vale of Pickering has a fascinating landscape history from its glacial past, through the effects of man, from Mesolithic settlement to modern drainage, to the current changes in British Farming and the effects on wildlife through the ages. The Project is working with local farmers to boost the area’s wildlife whilst at the same time helping them to secure a financially viable farm business, this will not only benefit the farmers and the wildlife but also provide much wider benefits which we can all enjoy. Here is a summary of what has happened so far and a taste of what we hope can happen in the future. A Chilly Beginning The last ice age or Pleistocene period lasted some 2.5 million years, with ice advancing and retreating across Britain many times over, finally disappearing completely some 10,000 years ago. At this time, now named as the beginning of the current Holocene period the landscape of North Yorkshire was still recovering from the grips of the last ice age.
