Community Consultative Workshop

Topic - Natural Environment Flooding and Alert Areas

Aims  Ease the level of surface flooding in the Parish, especially in Slade Lane, Barnfield Terrace, Ladywell and down- stream water run-offs into Aller Brook and

Abbotskerswell Alert Areas  Only support development where it does not exacerbate existing surface water flooding.  Encourage additional planting which can have a positive impact on run-off from agricultural and open land.  Ensure development adheres to requirements for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).  Future building and land use must incorporate flood prevention proposals, particularly for known flood risk areas in the Parish

SDLR Opened Dec 2015

Flood Alert Areas (Red); (Yellow Triangles Reported Problem Areas)  If your home or business is within a Red shaded area on the map this means that DEFRA can provide you with flood alerts.  DEFRA issue flood alerts when flooding is possible. Flood alerts cover larger areas than flood warnings and are issued more frequently. If you receive a flood alert you should be prepared for flooding and to take action.  If a flood alert for groundwater is available to you this does not mean that your property is definitely at risk. It is very difficult to predict the exact location of flooding from groundwater as it is often related to local geology. To help peo- ple, we provide flood alerts for large areas that could be affected if groundwater levels were high. If you think this information would be useful, then sign up to receive free flood alert messages. Post any comments here:
