  • Lincolnshire Flood Risk and Drainage Management Framework
    AGENDA ITEM NO: 6 BOSTON BOROUGH COUNCIL REPORT TO CABINET 2nd June 2010 SUBJECT: LINCOLNSHIRE FLOOD RISK AND DRAINAGE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK PORTFOLIO HOLDER: COUNCILLOR RICHARD DUNGWORTH – REGENERATION, PLANNING, SPORT AND CULTURAL SERVICES REPORT BY: HEAD OF PLANNING AND STRATEGY Reason For Report: Following the introduction of the Flood & Water Management Act the Council is being asked to adopt a Lincolnshire Flood Risk and Drainage Management Framework. This is required in order to enable the provisions and requirements of the new Act to be properly implemented and co-ordinated throughout Lincolnshire, building on the extensive partnerships and close working already carried out between all the various agencies and bodies responsible for flood response, management and planning. Summary: The report advises the Cabinet of the development of a new partnership framework to provide improved co-ordination of flood risk management in Lincolnshire and to meet the requirements of the Flood and Water Management Act which was granted Royal Assent on 8th April 2010. The Act will implement several key recommendations of Sir Michael Pitt’s Review of the Summer 2007 floods. The new governance framework, with Lincolnshire County Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority, will build on existing good practice established through existing local drainage groups, and increase the capacity of partners to provide a consistent and co-ordinated approach to flood risk management across Lincolnshire. Recommendation(s): That Cabinet: a) adopts the Lincolnshire Flood Risk and Drainage Management Framework as laid out and detailed in Appendix B of this report and in line with similar agreements being put in place by other Lincolnshire Councils and partner agencies b) allows for confirmation of details of representation on the partnership groupings by the framework Strategy Group Reasons for Recommendations: To prepare for the requirements set out in the Flood and Water Management Act 2010.

Policy Context 1 3. Methodology 2 4. Central Lincolnshire’s Settlements 2 5. The Settlement Categories 3 6. The Criteria 4 7. Applying the Criteria 6 8. Policy and ‘Localism’ Aspirations 9 9. Next Steps 9 Appendix: Services and Facilities in 10 Central Lincolnshire Settlements 1. Introduction 1.1. A settlement hierarchy ranks settlements according to their size and their range of services and facilities. When coupled with an understanding of the possible capacity for growth, this enables decisions to be taken about the most appropriate planning strategy for each settlement. 1.2. One of the primary aims of establishing a settlement hierarchy is to promote sustainable communities by bringing housing, jobs and services closer together in an attempt to maintain and promote the viability of local facilities and reduce the need to travel to services and facilities elsewhere. A settlement hierarchy policy can help to achieve this by concentrating housing growth in those settlements that already have a range of services (as long as there is capacity for growth), and restricting it in those that do not. 1.3. In general terms, larger settlements that have a higher population and more services and facilities are more sustainable locations for further growth. However, this may not always be the case. A larger settlement may, for example, have physical constraints that cannot be overcome and therefore restrict the scope for further development. Conversely, a smaller settlement may be well located and with few constraints, and suitable for new development on a scale that might be accompanied by the provision of new services and facilities.

  • Lost Features of Boultham Park
    Lost Features of Boultham Park The lake History and Importance Boultham Park is listed in English Heritage’s Register of Historic Parks and Gardens as Grade 2 and therefore ‘of special interest which warrants every effort being made to preserve it’. The Park is a Critical Natural Asset and has been designated by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust as a ‘site of nature conservation importance’. It is one of the largest areas of woodland within Lincoln and one of nine predominantly woodland sites within the city and in a local context the site supports some rare and endangered species. About The Boultham Estate underwent a period of development under Colonel Richard Ellison, who was a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, there is a record dating from Picture1 1851 of discussions surrounding incorporating a lake into the parkland close to the hall and this came to fruition in 1857 when the large ornamental lake was excavated. The lake took its feed water from Pike Drain (Pike Drain is fed from the lakes at Whisby, you can see this drain alongside Newark Road opposite the Ruston Sports Ground, it then runs through Boultham Moor skirting The Witham Academy crossing Rookery Lane at the end of Westwick Drive) the overspill water from the lake was diverted by a catchwater into the River Witham The original lake was constructed in a ‘serpentine’ shape (looks like a goose neck in picture 1) and was excavated by hand, the majority of the soil removed was deposited round the site to produce garden area and raise the ground level at the east side of the lake up to the River Witham https://www.flickr.com/ photos/boulthampark/ albums Check out the Boultham Park Archive for more great images of the Lake The Lake Picture2 Picture3 At the time of construction the park covered an area of over 1,000 acres and the lake covered 4 acres.
