These are the appendices. The plan has been divided into four parts: Name Audience Summary Document For those who want a high level overview of the plan Part A: Background and For those who need some legislative background river basin district wide and river basin district wide, high level information information Part B: Catchment For those who want the detail of the sub-areas and Summaries flooding statistics. This section includes the catchments based on Water Framework Directive (WFD) management catchments, Flood Risk Areas (identified through the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment) and other strategic areas across the RBD. Part C: Appendices For those who want to see the detailed measures set out for individual communities in England The measures that relate to Wales only are found in the Welsh Strategic Area. The measures tables for all Welsh catchments are reported in Part B and not in the Part C: Appendices, as the Welsh measures relate to the highest risk communities by catchment. The Welsh measures are continually updated and the measures in this plan are indicative although correct at the time of publication. The RBD-wide measures that affect Welsh Catchments are found in the Appendices. The measures that relate to the River Basin District, the English Strategic Area and English catchments are contained in the appendices. The other parts of the flood risk management plan are located on gov.uk (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/severn-river-basin-district-flood-risk- management-plan) 4 of 134 Annex 1: Measures Tables Catchment / Flood Risk Area Page Severn River Basin District level measures 6 English Severn level measures 11 Bristol Avon and North Somerset Streams catchment and 12 Bristol Flood Risk Area Bristol Avon and North Somerset Streams catchment – LLFA 29 measures outside the Bristol Flood Risk Area English Severn Uplands catchment 46 Shropshire Middle Severn catchment 48 Worcestershire Middle Severn catchment 50 Teme catchment 62 Warwickshire Avon catchment 65 Severn Vale catchment 87 English Wye catchment 101 Bristol Avon and North Somerset Streams catchment – 104 Environment Agency lead measures only 5 of 134 Measures in the Severn River Basin District Measure Place Measure Measure Details Source of flood risk or coastal erosion Category Category of Timing Priority Measure Statutory Plan ID Name of Measure Owner or type objective voluntary measure Community / Prevention, FRMP Critical, Action owner Statutory Source Place protection, Planning Very High, (bold), plan or plan preparedness Cycles High, owner and voluntary measure etc e.g. Moderate, support originates 2015 - Low organisations from 2021; 2021 - 2027 etc watercourses) Sewer flooding Sewer Coastal erosion Coastal ordinary watercourses) ordinary Groundwater flooding Groundwater Flooding from the Sea the from Flooding Surface water flooding water Surface Flooding from reservoirs from Flooding plus Flooding from Rivers (ordinary (ordinary Rivers from Flooding Flooding from rivers (main river) (main rivers from Flooding Flooding from Rivers (main river (main Rivers from Flooding Social Environment Economic ACT3259 Severn Provide Providing advice and information to Local Resilience Y N N N N N N N N Y N Y M42 - 2015 - High Environment Statutory FRMP River Basin advice to local Fora to enable them to reduce the impact of Emergency 2021 Agency FRMP District resilience fora flooding. event response planning / contingency planning ACT3262 Severn Provide Providing advice and information to local Y N N N N N N N N Y N Y M43 - Public 2015 - High Environment Statutory FRMP River Basin advice to local communities at to enable them to reduce the impact awareness 2021 Agency FRMP District communities of flooding.
