CONSTRUCTION OF FLOOD ALLEVIATION SCHEME (APPLICATION UNDER REGULATION 3 & 9A OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING REGULATIONS 1992) AT LAND ADJACENT TO THE RIVER DON FROM BESSEMER WAY TO MAIN STREET, ROTHERHAM TOWN CENTRE, ROTHERHAM FOR ROTHERHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL (RB2005/0026(FUL)) Consideration was given to a report of the Head of Planning and Transportation Service providing details of the above application for planning permission for the construction of a flood alleviation scheme along the Rotherham stretch of the River Don which aimed to reduce the regularity and severity of flooding whilst not increasing the severity of flooding elsewhere in the river catchment. Greg Lindley and Steve Smith explained that the implementation of the scheme would change the areas from Flood Risk Level 3 (High Risk) to Flood Risk Level 2 (Low to Medium Risk) in accordance with PPG25 and enable the Council to continue its long term regeneration initiatives for the Templeborough and Rotherham areas. The scheme would underpin the Urban Renaissance riverside regeneration proposals that were set out in the Urban Renaissance Plan Vision developed for Rotherham Town Centre. It was also noted that the commencement part of the scheme lay partly in the administrative boundary of Sheffield City Council and an application was to be submitted shortly to that Authority for those works. Members expressed concern about excess water and what would happen to areas of the borough beyond the limit of this scheme and were advised that the situation would not get any worse in other areas with this scheme’s implementation.
