GLOSSARY OF TERMS 337-341 INTRODUCTION These reports were prepared by the Environment Agency to SUppOrt the work of the Independent Review Team. The Agency was guided by a methodology devised by the Independent Technical Advisor. The Review Team visited the majority of the flood incident sites and has referred to these reports in preparing its assessments for Volume I. 6 2. SPECIAL STUDY SITES 2.1 NORTHAMPTON (ANCLIAN REGION) BackgrouiulInformation General Catchment geography and the physical characteristicsof the river system Northampton is located some 13km east of Daventry and 17km north west of Milton Keynes on the banks ofthe River Nene. This location coincideswith the confluence ofthe River Nene's main tributaries, the Brampton Branch and Kislingbury Branch., There are five catchments which feed the River Nene upstream of Northampton. Upton (Catchment 32006) and St Andrews (Catchment 32007) are large, gauged rural catchments. Catchments 1, 22 and 23 are more urban, ungauged catchments with shorter response times. The catchments are shown on Figure 2. 1. Any other water systems such as canals and reservoirs, the presence or operation of which could have affected flood conditions Water Suppyeservqj_s Thereare three large AnglianWater water supply reservoirs within the catchment ofthe Brampton Branch; Pitsford, Ravensthorpe and Hollowell. Pitsford was constructed in the 1950s while the latter two were constructed at the turn of the century. On the Kislingbury branch there are two smaller British Waterways (BW) reservoirs; Daventry and Drayton, constructed in the 19th century. Flood Stonge Reservoirs There are several smaller flood storage reservoirs within the Northampton Catchments which provide attenuationto development run-off These are located at Duston Reservoir, Jigsaw Lakes, Lake Delapre, 1)allington Brook Reservoir, Wootton Brook, Wootton Fields, Brackmills, and The Lakes, Bedford Road. The standard of protection where known, provided by the reservoirsvaries between a I in 50 and I in 100 year return period. Grand Union Canal The Grand Union Canal is the responsibility of British Waterways. It runs through the Northampton Catchrnent and interconnects with the R. Nene to provide continuous navigation to the R Thames. The canal is served by the two BW reservoirs. The section between the R. Nene at Northampton and Braunston is approximately20 miles long and was constructed in the 18th and 19th centuries. To the north of Braunston it continues to the summit at Foxton Locks near Market Harborough. The Northampton arm of the canal links to the River N1ene navigation in Northampton. 7 Surface Water Systems The responsibility for the surface water system throughout Northampton is shared between the nparian owners, Anglian Water and the Northampton Borough Council. Surface water drains enter the R. Nene via different routes. The northern area drains directly to the R. Nene via storm water outfalls while the southern area can be separated into three discrete elements: 1) the recent and continueddevelopment ofBanbuiy Lane which utilisesthe flood storage capacity in the offline Duston Retention Reservoir. 2) the developmentof Briar Hill which dischargesvia two 1 .2m diameter syphon sewers across the railway line after which they merge into a single I .5m diameter pipe and discharge into the R. Nene at Duston Junction. 3) the developmentof Far Cottondrains eastwards via the Hardingstone Drain on the southern side of Ransome Rd into Lake Delapre and subsequently into the Hardingstone Dyke; and the Hardingstone Dyke which drains from the northern side of Ransome Rd eastwards into the River Nene. Northampton Washlanc The Northampton Washlands,constructed in the I970s, are located downstream ofNorthampton. They are used to mitigate the effect of development in Northampton on the valley downstream without having a detrimental effect upstream. The Washlands are controlled by primary and secondary control sluices and overflow spillways. The Primary Control Sluice consists of three gates. The centre gate is a vertical overflow gate which rises up out ofthe cill. The outer two are vertical underfiow gates. The Secondary Control Sluice is a vertical overflow gate which controls the inlet to the Washlands and opens when water levels reach 55. 15m AOD. A combination of automatic gate movements and resulting storage are used to control the downstream water levels and flows to approx 52.8m AOD and 28 curnec respectively. When storage is fully utilised downstream flows increaseand water levelsrise accordiny Catchment and flood plain environmentalchanges affecting the river and land in and above the flood plain Brampton Branch Above Northampton on the Brampton branch of the Nene, the catchment is rural in character and there has been no major development within the flood plain. Such development as has occurred has generally been small scale residential infill within the villages. The A14 trunk road crosses the northern tip of the catchment and mn-off from this has been mitigated against by balancing. An attenuation reservoir has been constructedon the DallingtonBrook. No major river works have been carried out on this branch since defences were raised in the 1940s. Routine maintenance works consist ofobstruction removal and occasional de-silting. Kislingbui ininch On the Kislingbury branch, the catchment is rural in character although there are a number oflarger villages. Daventryis an expanding urban area at the head ofthe catchment from which increasing run-off has been mitigated against by attenuation within the Daventry and Drayton reservoirs. 8 Completed in the early I 960s approximately25km of the Ml motorway drains unattenuated into the Kislingbury Branch. There is provision to accommodate flood flows where the road is embankedacross the floodplain.

The catchmeut visiou may not be something that cau be achieved iu the next five years, but something we can all work towards. Whilst the Cherwell Catchment lies largely within Oxfordshire it also encroaches into Buckinghamshire to the east and Warwickshire and Northamptonshire to the north. From its source at Charwelton to the Thames confluence, the river generally flows north to south and over a length of about 96 bn falls 100 metres, draining an area o f over 900 Ian2. Agriculture is the main land use in the catchment and has influenced the character of its countryside and landscape. The contribution made by the River Cherwell to the character of Oxfordshire in particular is recognised by several policies in the Structure Plan which seek to protect and enhance its natural features.

  • Coaching Days on the Oxford Road
    Coaching days on the Oxford Road Before the A40 was constructed, travellers from London to Oxford and Worcester came through Wheatley and details of royalty and others who did so have already been described. It is important to understand the differing routes which have run through Wheatley from 1593, with these being shown on Jack Turner’s excellent interpretation of the 1593 All Souls College map onto which he has added more recent features and names. Coming from London in 1593, the traveller crossed over Wheatley bridge (at the bottom of the map). Shortly afterwards, and whilst still in the parish of Holton, there was a choice of either turning left or continuing straight on. A ‘dry route’ avoided the brook along the valley through the village, by taking the left turn to Shotover and turning left again at the Cley Hill field. It is described on the 1593 map as the ‘waye leading from Wheatley bridge to Shotover’ and leads on into Oxford. The route which went straight on followed the line of the London Road (including the ‘bulge’, now Old London Road), turning left into what is now Church Road (merely a track at the time), and thence into, and across, Westfield towards Forest Hill, and on to Islip and Worcester. By the time that coaches were travelling from London to Oxford, they would have taken the left turn after the bridge which linked up with Roman Road, ignoring the Cley Hill turn, before becoming Crown Road, and thence Wheatley High Street, thus enabling the coaches to avoid the steep climb up Castle Hill.
