  • Appendix E, Canal Inundation Mapping
    Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment - Level 2 Appendix E: Canal Inundation Mapping November 2012 Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council Town Hall Coton Road NUNEATON Warwickshire CV11 5AA This page is intentionally left blank Appendix e.doc I E Canal Inundation Mapping Appendix e.doc II Appendix e.doc III E.1 PDA2a: Scenario 1 Appendix e.doc IV Appendix e.doc V NOTES Canals do not generally pose a direct flood risk as they are a regulated water body. The residual risk from canals tends to be associated with lower probability events such as overtopping and embankment failure. As part of assessing flood risk from the canals, canal breach assessments have been identified based on areas of raised embankments in close proximity to proposed ¯ development sites. These assessments do not take the structural integrity of the embankment into account or quantify a risk of failure. Flooding may occur at any location along the canal system where there is a raised embankment. The mapping is intended to provide an indication of the likely impact of selected failure scenarios. It is not intended that inundation mapping provides a comprehensive analysis of all failure scenarios and further site specific analysis will need to be considered at all sites located within the vicinity of a canal system. Developers should be aware that any site that is at or below canal bank level may be subject to canal flooding and this should be taken into account when building resilience into low level properties Key Plan Legend Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Depth (m) 0 - 0.01 Canal Breach Location Proposed Development Area 0.01 - 0.1 PDA2a 0.1 - 0.5 Principal watercourses 0.5 - 1.0 Other Watercourses 1.0 - 1.5 Coventry Canal 1.5 - 2.0 2.0 - 2.5 2.5 - 4.5 Reproduced from Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationary Office.

  • Coventry Canal: a Towpath Arts Trail
    AINA CASE STUDY CULTURAL HERITAGE Coventry Canal: a towpath arts trail Three examples of the imaginative artwork and sculpture to be found alongside the towpath in Coventry Britain's longest outdoor art gallery helps interpret local heritage and canal history Like so many urban waterways the Coventry Canal combines industrial heritage and recent development with open spaces and areas of nature conservation interest. The nine kilometre length between Coventry Canal Basin and Hawkesbury Junction, where it meets the Oxford Canal, has seen substantial improvements over the last twenty years, including towpath works, access points, signage and regeneration of derelict sites next to the waterway. A canalside arts trail now compliments these enhancements and the towpath provides the setting for almost 40 installations which have been created by 31 different artists from the UK and overseas. Many of the pieces, which range in scale from small seats to larger than life sculptures, reflect the social and cultural heritage of the canal, and efforts were made to involve local people. Older residents, for example, were invited to share their memories from the days when the canal was a thriving commercial artery. Specific features include a bronze statue of canal engineer James Brindley and a mosaic map of the canal (both located by the Basin), a heritage marker which celebrates the first car factory in the UK, and a sculpture which commemorates the work of the canal navvies through depiction of the simple tools used by the early canal builders. The old local boating families are represented by a couple of steel sculptures which pay tribute to the people who lived and worked on the barges.
