Where appropriate, the following aspects of flood risk will be addressed in all planning applications over its expected lifetime in flood risk areas: • The likely mechanisms of flooding • The likely source of flooding • The depths of flooding through the site • The speed of inundation of the site • The rate of rise of flood water through the site • Velocities of flood water across the site • Overland flow routes • The effect of access and egress and infrastructure, for example, public sewer outfalls, combined sewer outflows, surface water sewers and effluent discharge pipes from wastewater treatment works • The impacts of the development in terms of flood risk on neighbouring properties and elsewhere on the floodplain DQH-JBAU-XX-XX-RP-Z-0001-S1-P02.02-FCA_Report.docx 1 2 Site description The site is located on the outskirts of Swansea, within Swansea Enterprise Park in the Llansamlet area. The site is bound to the north, east and south by existing highways, as shown in Figure 2-1. The western boundary of the site is comprised of the River Tawe Flood Defence and associated footpath. The River Tawe flows 17m to the west of the site in a southerly direction. Table 2-1 Site summary Site name Land at Heron Drive, Llansamlet Site area 1.90 Ha Existing land use Greenfield Purpose of development Commercial development OS NGR SS 67677 98677 Local Planning Authorities Swansea Council Lead Local Flood Authority Swansea Council Figure 2-1 Site Location Plan 2.1 Site topography The proposed development site is located within the Swansea Enterprise Park, Llansamlet. A topographic survey undertaken by Senior Surveys Land Survey Consultants in June 2020 indicates that the majority of the site is relatively flat, with ground levels between 10.0mAOD to 11mAOD. The topographic survey is contained in Appendix A. The site is protected from the River Tawe by a flood embankment which forms the western boundary of the site. DQH-JBAU-XX-XX-RP-Z-0001-S1-P02.02-FCA_Report.docx 2 Figure 2-2 identifies the key heights across the proposed site. Points A and B are located along the river embankment, with levels of 13.3mAOD and 12.4mAOD respectively. The lowest ground level within the proposed site is in the north east corner of the site; point C, 9.8mAOD. The highest point within the site boundary is point D, 12.1mAOD. The average height across the site is identified by point E at 10.2mAOD. Figure 2-2 1m DTM LiDAR 2.2 Soils and geology The British Geological Survey (BGS)1 shows that the area’s geology forms part of the Grovesend Mudstone Group, which consists of mudstone and sedimentary bedrock. The superficial deposits on site are alluvium which consist of clay, silt, sand and gravel. The Cranfield University Soilscape viewer2 describes the site’s soil as loamy, typical of wet carr woodlands in old river meanders. 2.3 Watercourses and Flood Defences As shown in Figure 2-3, the River Tawe flows 17m to the west of the site in a southerly direction and is an NRW designated Main River. The site is protected from the River Tawe by a flood embankment which forms the western boundary of the site, as shown in Figure 2-3. These flood defences form part of the Lower Swansea Valley flood scheme completed by NRW in 2014. ———————————————————————————————————————————— 1 Geology of Britain Viewer. http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html 2 Cranfield Soil Scapes Viewer. http://www.landis.org.uk/soilscapes/ DQH-JBAU-XX-XX-RP-Z-0001-S1-P02.02-FCA_Report.docx 3 Figure 2-2 Watercourses and flood defences around the site 2.4 Development proposal A proposed site layout has been provided, as shown in Figure 2-4. The proposal is to develop the site for Class B8 (Storage or distribution) use. The site will be comprised of two buildings, the Jaguar Land Rover main sales building and associated valet building located towards the centre of the site, with the remaining area used for car parking. The main access to and from the site will be via an entrance created on Heron Drive with an additional second entrance via Moorhen Close. Proposed ground levels across the site shall be set to an average of 10.7mAOD, with Finished Floor Levels of the building set to 10.85mAOD. The proposed development layout is contained in Appendix B.

It is technical guidance related to development planning and flood risk using a sequential characterisation of risk based on the Welsh Government's Development and Flood Risk Advice Map (DAM). Its initial requirement is to identify the flood zones and vulnerability classification relevant to the proposed development, based on an assessment of current and future conditions. 3.2 Development vulnerability classification TAN-15 assigns one of three flood risk vulnerability classifications to a development, as shown in Table 3-1. The proposed development at Heron Drive is classed as commercial. Consequently, the development is classified as less vulnerable. Table 3-1 Development categories defined by TAN-15 Development category Types Emergency services Hospitals, ambulance stations, fire stations, police stations, coastguard stations, command centres, emergency depots and buildings used to provide emergency shelter in time of flood. Highly vulnerable All residential premises (including hotels and caravan development parks), public buildings, (e.g. schools, libraries, leisure centres), especially vulnerable industrial development (e.g. power stations, chemical plants, incinerators), and waste disposal sites.

  • Report of Environment, Planning and Countryside Committee on the Evidence Taken During Its Review Of
    Cyngor Gwynedd Council Submission only available in Welsh Review of the Implementation and Operation of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15 By The National Assembly for Wales’s Environment, Planning and Countryside Committee On 15th November 2006 (Deadline 20th October ) Written Evidence By Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council 1 The County Borough Council welcomes this review of the implementation and operation of TAN 15. The Authority is fully committed to addressing the implications of climate change and flood consequences. However, much of the developable land within the County Borough is affected by potential flooding risk. This includes large areas of the coastal urban areas and valley floors extending to the top of the Neath Valley. 2 Where there is a realistic risk of flooding this should be fully investigated before any planning proposal is considered. However, the Environment Agency continues to respond to planning consultations (concerning both Development Plan preparation and planning applications) in a negative and pedantic manner. Despite lengthy and repetitive discussions with the Environment Agency it continued to pursue many objections to the Authority’s UDP. 3 Within the coastal plain and valley areas it can be particularly difficult to identify land that is outside the floodplain and is well located in relation to existing communities, services and facilities. In some instances the boundaries of the TAN maps appear incorrect and the authority considers that in such instances the land could be allocated but with a requirement that any necessary flood consequences assessment is satisfactorily undertaken. At Glynneath Business Park, the Environment Agency maintained an objection to the UDP concerning an employment site that lay partly in zone C2 and partly in zone B.

  • DVLA, Sandringham Park, Swansea, SA6 8AJ
    DVLA, Sandringham Park, Swansea, SA6 8AJ Grade A Business Park Office Investment Let to the Government INVESTMENT SUMMARY • Modern well specified Swansea office investment in an established business area. • Highly accessible location 4 miles north of Swansea city centre and adjacent to Junctions 44 and 45 of the M4 motorway. • Single-let office building totalling 66,855 sq ft. • Let in its entirety to The Secretary of State for Transport and occupied by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). • The property is DVLA’s sole UK contact centre and the tenant occupies two other buildings on Sandringham Park. • The tenant has been in occupation since the building was constructed in 2004 and recently regeared their lease for a further 10 years, expiring 29 August 2029, subject to a tenant break option on 30 August 2024, reflecting 11.25 yrs WAULT to expiry and 6.25 years to break. • Rent to be topped up to £800,000 per annum, equating to £12 psf. • Site area of approximately 1.24 hectares (3.07 acres), which reflects a low site density of 25%. • 125 year Long Leasehold from 20 December 2002. • We are instructed to seek offers in excess of £9,300,000, subject to contract and exclusive of VAT. A purchase at this level would reflect an attractive Net Initial Yield of 8.00% and a low capital value of £138 psf, assuming purchasers costs of 7.57%. • Assuming the tenant does not activate their option to break in 2024, the fixed rental uplift in 2027 reflects a highly attractive reversionary yield of 9.00%.
