GMCA requires this updated Level 1 SFRA and SFRMF to support the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF). This commission updates the original SFRA and SFRMF, completed in August 2018. It accounts for updates to the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) allocations and each of the ten GM district council's land supply sites for housing, office space and industrial / warehousing space. GMCA is acting on behalf of each of the ten councils; these are all designated Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFA) as well as LPAs. In August 2014, the ten Local Planning Authorities (LPA) in GM agreed to prepare a joint Development Plan Document to set out the approach to housing and employment growth for the next 20 years. This is known as the GMSF (2019). This SFRA is required to: • initiate the sequential risk-based approach to the allocation of land for development and • identify whether application of the Exception Test is likely to be necessary using the most up-to-date information and guidance. This will help to inform and provide the evidence base for the GMSF and each individual council's local plan. The SFRA has been carried out in accordance with Government’s latest development planning guidance, namely: • the revised National Planning Policy Framework1 (NPPF) (updated February 2019) and 1 National Planning Policy Framework 2021s0741 GMCA Level 1 SFRA Update Final Report WCAG v1.0 iv • the flood risk and planning guidance the Flood Risk and Coastal Change Planning Practice Guidance2 (FRCC-PPG) (last updated March 2014, at the time of writing). The commission consists of three phases: 1. Existing and future flood risk screening of potential development sites under the following categories: a. GMSF allocations (2019); b. Baseline land supply (2018); c. Call for sites (2018). 2. Level 1 SFRA as per the requirements set out in the NPPF and FRCC- PPG; 3. Strategic Flood Risk Management Framework - GMCA requires a spatial framework to manage flood risk and development in GM. This will be used to set out the most significant areas of flood risk at the GMCA level. It will include for cross-boundary issues within and outside GMCA and recommend key priorities for intervention taking account of previous, existing and planned interventions delivered or to be delivered by all Risk Management Authorities (RMAs). The Framework will be informed by a review of relevant strategies, FRM governance and flood risk funding mechanisms. The SFRMF will be informed by this SFRA and in turn will inform the development of the GMSF. Phase’s 1 and 2 outcomes Development viability assessments for all potential sites are summarised through a number of strategic recommendations (see The outcomes of phase’s 1 and 2, based on existing risk, are summarised in Table 1-1 to Table 1-3. The effects of climate change on future development has also been assessed and is discussed in Sections 6.9, 7.2.2 and 7.3.3 of this report.). These are formulated from strategic assessments of flood risk and 2 Flood Risk and Coastal Change Planning Practice Guidance 2021s0741 GMCA Level 1 SFRA Update Final Report WCAG v1.0 v development vulnerability. The results of these assessments are included within Appendix B and C. The strategic recommendations broadly entail the following: • Strategic Recommendation A - consider withdrawal of site if development cannot take place outside of Flood Zone 3b; • Strategic Recommendation B - Exception Test required if site passes Sequential Test; • Strategic Recommendation C - consider site layout and design around the identified flood risk if site passes Sequential Test, as part of a detailed FRA or drainage strategy; • Strategic Recommendation D - site-specific FRA required; and • Strategic Recommendation E - site permitted on flood risk grounds due to little perceived risk, subject to consultation with the LPA / LLFA. The outcomes of phase’s 1 and 2, based on existing risk, are summarised in Table 1-1 to Table 1-3. The effects of climate change on future development has also been assessed and is discussed in Sections 6.9, 7.2.2 and 7.3.3 of this report. 2021s0741 GMCA Level 1 SFRA Update Final Report WCAG v1.0 vi Table 1-1: Summary of strategic recommendations for GM allocations (2019) Number of strategic recommendations applied Authority A B C D E Bolton 0 0 1 2 0 Bury* 0 0 3 3 0 Manchester 0 0 1 2 0 Oldham^ 0 2 5 10 0 Rochdale^* 1 1 5 6 0 Salford 1 0 0 3 0 Stockport 0 0 2 6 0 Tameside 0 0 1 3 0 Trafford 0 0 2 0 0 Wigan 0 0 4 1 0 GM 2 3 24 36 0 ^Two sites overlap between Oldham and Rochdale *Two sites overlap between Rochdale and Bury • Only two allocations are recommended for withdrawal if development cannot take place outside of FZ3b, based on the proportion of the site areas being within the functional floodplain. These allocations are in Rochdale and Salford. • Three allocations will have to be subject to and pass the Exception Test if the site boundaries cannot be altered to remove the high risk areas. Two of these sites are in Oldham and one is in Rochdale. • These five sites should be further investigated by the LPA and LLFA to ascertain developability. • 24 allocated sites require careful consideration of site design and layout with regards to avoiding or accommodating the flood risk. This should take place as part of a detailed site-specific FRA and drainage strategy used to inform the design and layout of the proposed site. 2021s0741 GMCA Level 1 SFRA Update Final Report WCAG v1.0 vii Table 1-2: Summary of strategic recommendations to baseline land supply (2018) sites Number of strategic recommendations applied Authority A B C D E Bolton 2 9 44 215 131 Bury 3 5 29 84 83 Manchester 3 9 53 281 272 Oldham 1 4 62 225 154 Rochdale 7 18 43 141 110 Salford 0 17 36 156 93 Stockport 2 5 31 197 176 Tameside 3 7 29 134 81 Trafford 1 4 23 211 105 Wigan 5 13 50 196 156 GM 27 91 400 1840 1361 • The majority of the baseline land supply sites, in Table 7-7, will require site-specific FRAs as a minimum (Strategic Recommendation D). • Many sites are also at very low risk and may not require any further assessment of flood risk (Strategic Recommendation E), though this is at the discretion of the LPA. • 27 land supply sites are recommended for withdrawal if the functional floodplain cannot be avoided, the majority being in Rochdale followed by Wigan. No land supply sites in Salford are recommended for withdrawal. • 91 sites will require the undertaking and passing of the Exception Test if development is to be permitted. Most of these sites are in Rochdale, Salford and Wigan. 2021s0741 GMCA Level 1 SFRA Update Final Report WCAG v1.0 viii Table 1-3: Summary of strategic recommendations for call for sites (2018) sites Number of strategic recommendations applied Authority A B C D E Bolton 2 1 32 90 4 Bury 4 1 32 92 2 Manchester 2 2 13 24 11 Oldham 1 8 45 83 11 Rochdale 11 4 38 79 4 Salford 1 4 18 30 1 Stockport 6 3 53 208 27 Tameside 4 1 22 82 5 Trafford 6 2 21 41 2 Wigan 10 2 32 83 4 GM 47 28 306 812 71 Included

This took place on the 25th September, three days after our Annual General Meeting. The launch was combined with a day school on “Mapping the Past” which was held under the auspices of the South Pennine History Forum, a group of local history societies from across the South Pennines. Much of our efforts since the launch have been directed towards promoting sales of the book and during the year we have held several exhibitions and book-signing events. The production of the book has been a monumental task for the Society and I would like to pay tribute to all the hard work that went into it by the publications committee. But all the effort has been worth it; the book is a wonderful production which enhances our reputation as a local historical society.

  • The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.

    Appendix A DRAFT LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY DOCUMENT LOCAL FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR STOCKPORT February 2016 Foreword by Executive Member It is with great pleasure that we can present to the public the progress we have made and the improvements that we plan to undertake to re-establish Stockport Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority for the Stockport area. We have made great progress in a short period of time and this Strategy endorses that. I certainly accept the new duties and responsibilities the Council has to help our community and look forward to developing a closer relationship with residents and other multi-disciplined agencies with an interest in water and its impact on the built environment and natural environment. I welcome and applaud the support the Council has from its partners in risk management. The beauty, amenity and critical resource of water should certainly be appreciated but also acknowledged that the power of nature can deliver adverse effects that can have a huge impact on us all and for many years. The reality of major flood events in Stockport is relatively small in comparison to other areas, but some risk will remain in areas with large urbanisation and buried waterways. Flood risk management requires the support of all key stakeholders including local residents, organisations and businesses as we all have responsibilities. If we work together then the potential impacts of floods in Stockport can be minimised. 2 Table of contents Chapter Pages Executive Summary 4 1. Introduction 7 1.1. Background 7 1.2.
