Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for of allocated sites New Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire

1. Executive Summary

1.1.1. The new Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire* (‘the new Plan’) identifies suitable land and provides the planning policies that will be used to determine planning applications to develop Staffordshire’s minerals resources during the period 2015 to 2030. Staffordshire has a rich and varied range of mineral resources, and the Plan will allocate new areas for the extraction of sand and gravel, shale and anhydrite.

1.1.2. The National Planning Policy Framework recognises the significance of flooding and aims to steer new development towards those areas of lowest flood risk (the Sequential Test), while ensuring that any new development does not increase the flood risk elsewhere.

1.1.3. This Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, presents a brief overview of the pattern of flooding across the county, sets out the aims of the Plan, explains their implications for flooding, and demonstrates the Plan can be delivered in a way that is consistent with the overall aims of flood management.

1.1.4. We have examined all of the sites that we propose to allocate in the Plan, in order to determine which flood zone(s) they fall within. Approximately half of the sites are in Flood Zone 1, so the risk of flooding is low. Such locations are fully consistent with the Sequential Test.

1.1.5. However, minerals can only be worked where they are found, and there are not sufficient suitable potential sites in Flood Zone 1 to meet the predicted demand, so additional sites will need to be found elsewhere.

1.1.6. Reserves of sand and gravel are concentrated in the river valleys, and many fall within areas of higher flood risk. Half of the sites allocated in the new Plan are located in such areas. Sand and gravel working are considered to be water compatible development, so such locations are still consistent with national guidelines. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the more sensitive parts of the development, such as offices, are located in areas of lower flood risk wherever possible.

1.1.7. The potential for restoring mineral workings to contribute to flood risk management is also discussed.

2. Introduction

2.1.1. This document reports on the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) which has been carried out in parallel with the development of a new Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire. It summarises the current flood risks in Staffordshire, and explains how these have been taken into account when identifying potential locations for new or extended quarrying to meet the need demand for minerals within the county and further afield. 3. Planning Policy Context

3.1.1. The SFRA forms part of the evidence base supporting the production of the new Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire. That plan is being produced by Staffordshire County Council and covers the area in which they serve as Minerals Planning Authority – i.e. the geographical area of the county with the exception of the City of Stoke-on-Trent (a unitary authority) and that part of the north east of the county which falls within the National Park.

3.1.2. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) recognises the importance of the planning process in directing development away from areas at highest risk, but where development is necessary, making it safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere.

3.1.3. The key principle for guiding decision making is the Sequential Test, which attempts first to guide development to Flood Zone 1, then Zone 2, and then Zone 3.

3.1.4. This is also informed by the Flood Risk Vulnerability Classification, which sets out the types of development that are acceptable within each level of flood risk. This is set out in Table 1

Table 1: Flood risk vulnerability classification and appropriateness for each flood zone Flood Zone Flood risk vulnerability classification Essential Highly More Less Water infrastructure vulnerable vulnerable vulnerable compatible Zone 1 ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Zone 2 ✓ Exception Test ✓ ✓ ✓ required Zone 3a Exception Test ✗ Exception Test ✓ ✓ required required Zone 3b Exception Test ✗ ✗ ✗ ✓ required Key: ✓: Development is appropriate ✗: Development should not be permitted.

3.1.5. The NPPF also requires Local planning authorities to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment to fully understand the flood risk in the area to inform Local Plan preparation

3.1.6. There are two levels of Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, and the level required depends on the circumstances of the Plan

3.1.7. A Level 1 Assessment should be carried out in local authority areas where flooding is not a major issue and where development pressures are low. The Assessment should be sufficiently detailed to allow application of the Sequential Test to the location of development and to identify whether development can be allocated outside high and medium flood risk areas, based on all sources of flooding, without application of the Exception Test. The Environment Agency and lead local flood authorities can advise on the key outputs from a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.

3.1.8. Where a Level 1 Assessment shows that land outside flood risk areas cannot appropriately accommodate all the necessary development, it may be necessary to increase the scope of the Assessment to a Level 2 to provide the information necessary for application of the Exception Test where appropriate. A Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment should consider the detailed nature of the flood characteristics within a flood zone including: • flood probability; • flood depth; • flood velocity; • rate of onset of flooding; and • duration of flood

3.1.9. A Level 2 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment should also reduce burdens on developers, in particular, at windfall sites, in the preparation of site-specific flood risk assessments. See the advice on Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for further information.

3.1.10. The development considered within the new Minerals Local Plan is largely classified as either “Less Vulnerable”, or “Water Compatible”, so identifying appropriate locations is unlikely to require the justification of a Level 2 SFRA. 4. Profile of the plan area

4.1.1. The majority of the county falls within the catchment, with a narrow strip of land along the western edge of the county draining into the River Severn, and a very small corner in the north falling within the Weaver / Gowy catchment.

4.1.2. The River Trent and tributaries, the Sow, Blythe, and Dove flow almost in parallel, in a generally south easterly direction across the county, The River Trent is joined by the River Tame near , and then flows in a north easterly direction, towards Burton-upon-Trent, where it is joined by the River Dove, and onwards towards the and the sea.

4.1.3. The most extensive flood zones fall within the south east of the county, following the Trent / Tame valley, though there are also significant areas of flooding along all of the tributaries, particularly the River Dove.

4.1.4. Flooding within the county has been studied in some detail, with Level 1 SFRAs prepared for each of the District / Borough councils, with Level 2 SFRAs carried out where flood risk represents a particularly significant constraint on identifying sufficient development land. (See Table 1)

4.1.5. Broad objectives for flood management within the three main river catchments were set out in the Environment Agency’s Catchment Flood Management Plans that were published in 2009. They comprise: • Weaver Gowy Catchment Flood Management Plan • River Trent Catchment Flood Management Plan • River Severn Catchment Flood Management Plan

4.1.6. These have been largely superseded by River Basin Management Plans which take a more holistic view of river basin management, with the aim of ensuring compliance with the Water Framework Directive. The plans for the relevant areas are: • North West River Basin District • Humber River Basin District • Severn River Basin District

4.1.7. The establishment of Lead Local Flood Authorities, and transferring to them the responsibility for approving sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), has prompted the preparation of a series of Local Flood Risk Management Strategies.

4.1.8. In Staffordshire, where the County Council has taken on the role of Lead Local Flood Authority, the relevant documents are: • Part 1 - Group Strategy, and • Part 2 – Staffordshire Policies and Procedures 5. Overview of the aims of the Minerals Local Plan

5.1.1. The new Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire* (‘the new Plan’) identifies suitable land and provides the planning policies that will be used to determine planning applications to develop Staffordshire’s minerals resources during the period 2015 to 2030.

5.1.2. Staffordshire has a rich and varied range of mineral resources. In recent years, the county has seen extraction of limestone, shale, anhydrite, clay, coal, sand and gravel, building stone, and silica sand.

5.1.3. Coal is not produced commercially at the moment, and there are sufficient permitted reserves to meet the demand for limestone and clay to beyond 2030 so the new Minerals Local Plan will only allocate new areas for the extraction of sand and gravel, shale, and anhydrite.

5.1.4. Sand and gravel accounts for the largest number of site allocations within the new Minerals Local Plan, with 12 sites proposed in order to maintain production at a level of 5 million tonnes per annum. Maintaining production levels of anhydrite and shale will only require extensions to the working areas of one site each. 6. Minerals development and flood risk

6.1.1. In Staffordshire, much of the sand and gravel production is concentrated in the Trent / Tame valley, exploiting the river terrace gravels. Such workings are almost inevitably in areas of higher flood risk. There are, however, a few sand and gravel quarries located away from the river valleys, exploiting glacial deposits or bedrock sand.

6.1.2. By contrast, shale production is concentrated in upland areas on the edge of the Peak District, well away from typical areas of high flood risk, and anhydrite is mined in sub-surface workings which need to be dry for the mineral to exist in the desired form.

6.1.3. The Sequential Test recognises that minerals can only be worked where they are found, and classifies most mineral workings as “Less Vulnerable”, which means that they can be acceptably located in Flood Zone **. Sand and gravel workings, however, are classified as water compatible, and can be located in the functional flood plain ( Flood Zone 3b).

6.1.4. It is important to recognise, however, that while sand and gravel workings can be located within the functional flood plain, other ancillary development should be located in areas of lower flood risk wherever possible, and it is important to avoid obstructing water flow or displacing potential flood capacity (e.g. with bunds, or stock piles).

6.1.5. Quarry workings can contribute to flood storage capacity, both during the mineral extraction phase, and following restoration if the void is not completely backfilled. Careful design is needed, however, if this benefit is to be maximised 7. Assessment of flood risk

7.1.1. All sites considered for allocation within the new Minerals Local Plan for Staffordshire have been checked for their location relative to the mapped flood zones as part of the Sustainability Appraisal. This SFRA has looked in more detail at those sites allocated in the Plan, and the findings are summarised in Table 3.

7.1.2. Appendix A contains plans of each of the allocated sites, together with any nearby areas of flood zones 2 or 3.

7.1.3. It is reasonable to anticipate that climate change will increase both the frequency and the severity of flooding incidents over time, and that impacts may be felt within the plan period. A simple assumption would be that those areas currently in Flood Zone 3a may experience a flood risk comparable with Flood Zone 3b by the end of the plan period. Similarly, those areas currently within Flood Zone 2 may be expected to experience a level of flood risk equivalent to the current Flood Zone 3a.

7.1.4. This has been taken into account during the assessment process, and will need to be considered when full planning applications are considered for new areas of mineral extraction.

8. Implementing the Minerals Local Plan

8.1.1. It can be seen from Table 3 that 8 of the allocated sites lie completely within Flood Zone 1. They are not associated with river terrace gravels, and their location is entirely compatible with the Sequential Test.

8.1.2. These sites alone, however, would not be sufficient to meet the needs of the plan, and while other potential sites in Flood Zone 1 were examined in the sustainability appraisal, they were not found to be suitable for allocation, so the search for new sites had to extend into areas at higher risk of flooding.

8.1.3. The remaining 6 allocated sites are associated with river terrace gravels and their locations encompass the full range of flood zones. However, as sand and gravel workings, they would consider them as water compatible, and appropriate development, even within the functional floodplain (Flood Zone 3b).

8.1.4. Any planning application for development of one of the allocated sites will need to be accompanied by a full Flood Risk Assessment, regardless of the flood zone(s) in which it is located, as they are all considerably larger than 1Ha in area.

8.1.5. Applications affected by a higher risk of flooding will need to demonstrate that site layout and ways of working have been planned to ensure that more sensitive parts of the development, such as offices, welfare facilities, and processing plant are located in areas of lower flood risk. Care will also be needed to ensure that any bunds or stockpiles etc. do not impede water flow in the flood plain. 9. Conclusions and recommendations

9.1.1. This SFRA provides an overview of flood risk in Staffordshire. It goes on to demonstrate that the allocated sites can be developed for mineral extraction within the framework of the Sequential Test, and without increasing the risk of flooding elsewhere.

9.1.2. FRAs will be required to accompany planning applications for the development of any of the allocated sites, and these will need to show how the details of site layout, ways of working etc. have been tailored to reflect the local circumstances.

9.1.3. Sand and gravel workings in the flood plain have the potential to offer additional flood storage capacity if restored to lower levels. That potential will depend on the location of the site and how it is restored. Planning from an early stage will be required if flood alleviation benefits are to be maximised.
