This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the River Adur catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The River Adur CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England The main source of flood risk in the Adur CFMP area is and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed from both localised river flooding, which is made worse inland flood risk across all of England and Wales for by the influence of the tide, and surface water flooding, the first time. The CFMP considers all types of inland which is also a problem in some urban areas caused by flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water and under capacity or blockages in the drainage network. tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea The risk is mainly located in Steyning and Upper (coastal flooding), which is covered by Shoreline Beeding, Brighton and Hove and Worthing. Management Plans (SMPs). Our coverage of surface We cannot reduce flood risk on our own, we will and groundwater is however limited due to a lack of therefore work closely with all our partners to improve available information. the co-ordination of flood risk activities and agree the The role of CFMPs is to establish flood risk most effective way to management flood risk in the management policies which will deliver sustainable future.

There is no better way to enjoy their natural beauty and charm than by boat. A short voyage inland can reveal some of the most attractive and unspoilt scenery in the Country. The long tidal sections, created over the centuries by flashy Wealden Rivers carving through the soft coastal chalk, give public rights of navigation well into the heartland of Sussex. From Rye in the Eastern part of the County, small boats can navigate up the River Rother to Bodiam with its magnificent castle just 16 miles from the sea. On the River Arun, in an even shorter distance from Littlehampton Harbour, lies the historic city of Arundel in the heart of the Duke of Norfolk’s estate. But for those with more energetic tastes, Sussex rivers also have plenty to offer. Increased activity by canoeists, especially by Scouting and other youth organisations has led to the setting up of regular canoe races on the County’s rivers in recent years. CARING FOR OUR WATERWAYS The National Rivers Authority welcomes all river users and seeks their support in preserving the tranquillity and charm of the Sussex rivers. This booklet aims to help everyone to enjoy their leisure activities in safety and to foster good relations and a spirit of understanding between river users.

It is a mainly pastoral landscape with a well-wooded character. Strong patterns of small to medium size fields of pasture enclosed by woodlands, shaws and hedgerows are generally common across the area, although some localities contain larger arable fields. Local character varies depending on Sheet LW7 the presence or otherwise of concentrations of horse paddocks, and the A24 which follows the western boundary.

  • 155 04 SD397 NEECA 2 Schedule 19 Appendix A
    Project Title: East Worthing FAS – Teville Stream Hydraulic Study Project Number: IMSO001181 Project Stage: Initial Assessment Environment Agency Project Manager: Contact Details for EAPM: Address: Telephone: E-mail: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: The Teville Stream lies within the town of Worthing, West Sussex. The River Adur Catchment Flood Management Plan (Capita Symonds, 2008) identified possible areas of flood risk, but did not carry out broadscale modelling of the catchment and instead based it’s assessment of risk on the Flood Zone maps. The CFMP states that the current baseline is insufficient to appropriately determine fluvial flood risk within the system. This project seeks to accurately determine the level of fluvial flood risk within the Teville Stream catchment area. The catchment is densely populated with much of the upper area being culverted and integrated with the surface water of the town. The semi-natural part of the upper watercourse is not very well defined, having several tributary streams and agricultural drainage channels. The main channel is a mixture of culverts and open sections, running under and alongside a pharmaceutical works, an industrial estate, historic landfill sites, a public amenity tip and a sewage works, finally emerging in an open channel which enters Brooklands Lake, a public leisure facility/boating lake occupying the area of the former tidal basin. This freshwater lake is maintained artificially by a terminal control structure at the seaward end, which drains into the sea after passing under the A259 seafront road. Flow from the north is augmented by runoff from the A27 highway and is discharged from a retention structure constructed on one of the tributaries.

  • TARRING FLOOD ACTION GROUP Rain Garden Proposals
    Active Community Fund GRANT APPLICATION FORM Section D: Your funding application Community Group Tarring Flood Action Group SuDs retro solutions to surface water flooding Project Title recommendations from earlier Feasibility study. Description of issues, needs and/or initiatives Within the West Tarring Conservation Area (See attached supplementary paper -map Appendix 1) there are a number of areas that large amounts of water collects on a regular basis, and more importantly, there have been a number of occasions in the recent past (2000, 2012) when flash floods have badly affected the area, resulting in flooding of, and damage to, a number of residential and commercial properties. Tarring High Street, in the conservation area, has had several floods in recent years and old buildings at the south end of the street and at the north end of South Street / Priory Close have suffered in particular. Following discussions at a TFAG Multi-Agency Meeting, the general consensus is that the floods were caused by a number of contributing factors:- • Climate Change impacting on localised intensity of rainfall • An inability of the network of drains and gullies to cope with heavy downpour events • Blocked drains and gullies • An aging, predominantly combined, surface water and sewage system • Discharge of roof water directly on to pavements/roads • Bow-wave surges caused by uncontrolled through-traffic • The influence of the Teville Stream and its confluence with Broadwater Brook, although this factor is subject to debate. • The lack of empirical data on problem areas of pooling and flooding in the Worthing area. • The dominance of a hard landscape and the lack of any ‘natural’ means of absorbing excessive rainwater before it can develop into flooding.

    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses.

To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal

  • Worthing Core Strategy?
    Core Strategy April 2011 Foreword Foreword This Core Strategy was adopted by Worthing Borough Council on 12th April 2011. The document, part of the Local Development Framework (LDF), will help guide planning and development in the Borough for the next 15 years and will be used to inform decision making on all planning applications. Regeneration is the key focus of the document with the strategic development at West Durrington and 12 areas of change identified as major regeneration opportunities. The Core Strategy also outlines how development needs will be met with a series of policies on key issues such as housing, employment, retail and environmental protection. An independent examination of the plan was carried out and the Inspector concluded that, ‘There is a clear vision at the heart of the Core Strategy of a thriving, prosperous and healthy town that plays a central role in the wider sub region.’ The document is the result of a number of years of preparation and consultation and we are really pleased that all the hard work has paid off and the Inspector has approved our plan and has confirmed it is deliverable. The Core Strategy is incredibly important, as it helps us work towards delivering a thriving and stronger Borough.
