1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Appointment

1.1.1 BEK Enviro Limited (BEK) has been commissioned by Mark Hurst to provide a Flood Risk & Drainage Impact Assessment for Higher College Farmhouse, Hothersall, Preston (hereafter referred to as ‘the site’) to assess the potential risks associated with flood risk to the site for residential use.

1.1.2 The site is located within Flood Zone 1 of the Environment Agency Flood Map;

and as such has a low risk of fluvial flooding.

1.2 Background

1.2.1 A site specific flood risk assessment provides an appraisal of flood risk both within the application site and any potential impact that the development will have on flood risk elsewhere; and provide recommendations for mitigation measures which may be included within the design of the development to reduce the overall risk of flooding.

1.2.2 An initial assessment indicates that the primary source of flooding risk to the

development is an increase in surface water runoff as a result of development. 1.3 Objective and Scope of Work 1.3.1 The objective of this report is to evaluate the issues in regard to flood risk at the

application site i.e. development of 21 new residential units at Higher College Farm, Hothersall, Preston, Lancashire.

1.3.2 The Flood Risk and Drainage Impact Assessment has been prepared to inform ‘An

outline planning application for a self-build residential scheme’. Specifically the following information is required as a minimum:

Detailed site location and layout plans Desktop study to incorporate maps showing:

Topography of the development site, with contours at 1 m intervals

Existing surface water flow routes, drains, sewers and watercourses

Flood risk from main river and coastal sources

Surface water and groundwater flood risk

Geological and soil types

Flood Risk Assessment:

Suitability of the proposed development in accordance with current planning policy

Identify the risk to both the development and people from all forms of flooding

Provide a preliminary assessment of foul and surface water management

2. DESKTOP STUDY 2.0.1 This section provides an overview of the information to satisfy the requirements

of Lancashire County Council in their role as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). 2.1 Site Location and Layout Plan 2.1.1 The site occupies a roughly rectangular plot of agricultural land of some 1.5

Hectares (11,000 m2). The site generally falls towards the south and is currently comprised of a large agricultural field. Higher College Farmhouse and associated farm buildings are located towards the south of the site.

2.1.2 Detailed site location and layout plans are provided within Appendix E of this

report. 2.2 Topographical Survey 2.2.1 A topographical survey of the site was completed by TriCAD Solutions Ltd in May

2017 and is provided within Appendix A of this report. The site is shown to fall from north to south with the general site level shown to be around 110 mAOD.

2.2.2 The highest spot level on the topographical survey is in the north-east of the site

and is shown to be 112.23 mAOD with the lowest spot level in the south-west of the site with an elevation of 106.60 mAOD.

2.3 Existing Surface Water Flow Routes, Drains, Sewers and Watercourses 2.3.1 The existing development site is comprised of an agricultural greenfield. The

agricultural field is not anticipated to have any formal drains or sewers. There is a small existing watercourse located approximately 20 m south-west of the development site.

2.3.2 It is considered that the existing farmhouse immediately south of the site is

positively drained with surface water likely to drain towards an unnamed land drain located to the south-west of the site and foul from the existing farmhouse is likely to discharge into a septic tank.

2.3.3 There a number of manholes, inspection chambers and gullies located close to

the existing farmhouse building with surface water directed towards the lowest part of the site in the south-west.

2.3.4 A surface water flow route is located towards the west of the site which flows

from adjacent to the west of Spade Mill Reservoir No 2 in a southerly direction beneath Blackburn Road and adjacent to the west of the development site. It is understood the land drain is culverted as it flows along the western boundary of the site before becoming an open channel approximately 30 m south-west of the site.

2.4 Flood Risk from Main Rivers 2.4.1 The Environment Agency flood map indicates that the development site is

located wholly within Flood Zone 1 as shown within the Figure overleaf. Flood Zone 1 is defined as land with a low probability (less than 1 in 1000 year (<0.1% AEP) annual probability of river or sea flooding in any year.

2.4.2 As such the risk of Main River and coastal flooding to the development site is

considered to be low.

Figure 1: Environment Agency Flood Map Key

2.5 Surface Water and Groundwater Flood Risk 2.5.1 Figure 2 below indicates that the risk of flooding from surface water to the

development site is very low to low. 2.5.2 However there is a surface water flow route which flows in a southerly direction

to the west of the site. The depth of flooding from this surface water flow route during the low risk event is below 300 mm adjacent to the development site.

High Medium Low Very Low

2.5.3 The risk of groundwater flooding to the site is considered to be low with the

Environment Agency Groundwater Designation Map indicating that the site is underlain by superficial deposits classified as a ‘Secondary Undifferentiated Aquifer’.

2.5.4 The Environment Agency describes Secondary undifferentiated aquifers as: ‘Undifferentiated aquifers has been assigned where it has not been possible to

attribute either category A or B to a rock type. In most cases, this means that the layer in question has previously been designated as both minor and non-aquifer in different locations due to the variable characteristics of the rock type’

2.5.5 The bedrock aquifer designation is shown within the Figure below with the site shown to be located on bedrock classified as a ’Secondary A Aquifer’ described as:

‘permeable layers capable of supporting water supplies at a local rather than

strategic scale, and in some cases forming an important source of base flow to rivers. These are generally aquifers formerly classified as minor aquifers’

Key

2.5.6 Due to the location of the site on an undifferentiated secondary superficial

aquifer with a bedrock designation as a Secondary A aquifer it is not considered likely that groundwater flooding would pose a significant risk to the proposed site. Furthermore the Ribble Valley Strategic Flood Risk Assessment states that:

‘Groundwater flooding is not considered by the Environment Agency to be a

significant flood risk factor in the Ribble Valley Borough Council area.’ 2.6 Geology and Soil Type 2.6.1 Information from the British Geological Society indicates that the bedrock

geology at the development site is comprised of the Warley Wise Grit Member consisting of sandstones with part of the north of the site shown to be the Pendle Grit Member consisting of sandstone and siltstone.

3. FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT

3.0.1 It is usual for the Environment Agency to raise an objection to development applications within the floodplain, or Zones 2 and 3 of the Environment Agency flood map until the issue of flood risk has been properly evaluated. The Agency will also object to developments where the total site area is in excess of 1 Hectare until suitable consideration has been given to surface water runoff.

3.0.2 The proposed development site is located wholly within Flood Zone 1 however it

is greater than 1 hectare in size as such it is considered that a Site Specific Flood Risk Assessment is required.

3.1 Sequential and Exception Test 3.1.1 The objective of the Sequential Test is to steer new development to areas of the

lowest probability of flooding, this takes into account the flood zones and the flood risk vulnerability classification of developments.

3.1.2 The Environment Agency flood map indicates that the proposed development

site is within Flood Zone 1. Flood Zone 1 is defined as land assessed as having a less than 1 in 1000 annual probability of river flooding in any one year.

3.1.3 Proposals for the application site are for the development of new residential units

at the site. 3.1.4 In accordance with Table 2 ‘Flood Risk Vulnerability Classification’ of the

Technical Guidance to the National Planning Policy Framework, commercial developments are defined as ‘more vulnerable’ development.

3.1.5 ‘More Vulnerable’ developments within Flood Zone 1 are considered appropriate development. As such it is not considered that the undertaking of a Sequential/Exception Test will be required.

3.2 Historical Flooding 3.2.1 An internet search of flooding in the Hothersall area did not result in any results

however it is acknowledged that the area is essentially rural therefore historical incidents of flooding may not have been recorded.

3.2.2 A review of Ribble Valley Borough Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

indicates that there have been a number of historical flood event in the Ribble Valley area however Hothersall or Longridge are not referenced as having flooded.

3.2.3 A number of flooding incidents have been recorded in Ribchester located some

3.8 km south-east of the site however due to the distances involved it is not considered that the site has experienced flooding.

3.3 Surface Water Runoff 3.3.1 The proposed development site is over 1 Hectare in size therefore surface water

runoff will need to be adequately assessed in order to ensure flood risk at the site and elsewhere is not increased as a result of development.

3.3.2 Surface water runoff will be assessed in more detailed in Section 4 of this report. 3.4 Fluvial Flooding 3.4.1 As mentioned previously within Section 2.4 of this report the site is located within

Flood Zone 1 of the Environment Agency flood map. 3.4.2 Flood Zone 1 is defined as land with a low probability (less than 1 in 1000 year

(<0.1% AEP) annual probability of river or sea flooding in any year. 3.4.3 As such the risk to the site from fluvial flooding is considered to be low. 3.5 Reservoir Flooding 3.5.1 The Environment Agency Flooding from Reservoirs map identifies that the

proposed development is within the extent of flooding following a breach of a reservoir.

Page 15: FLOOD RISK & DRAINAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

Flood Risk & Drainage Impact Assessment – Higher College Farm, Hothersall Report Ref BEK-17203-1 RevB November 2018

Figure 6: EA Flood Risk From Reservoir

3.5.2 There are two reservoirs located in close proximity to the site located some 45 m

north of the site at the closest point. The reservoirs are known as Spade Mill Reservoir No 1 and No 2 and are owned by United Utilities.

3.5.3 It is noted that reservoir flooding is extremely unlikely to happen. There has been

no loss of life in the UK from reservoir flooding since 1925. All large reservoirs are regularly inspected by reservoir panel engineers and the EA ensures that reservoirs are regularly inspected and essential safety work is undertaken as appropriate. As such the risk of flooding from this source is considered to be low.

3.6 Groundwater 3.6.1 As mentioned in Section 2.5 of this report the site is underlain by superficial

deposits comprising Boulder Clay and bedrock deposits of the Warley Wise Grit Member.

3.6.2 The superficial deposits are classified by the Environment Agency as a ‘Secondary

Undifferentiated Aquifer’. 3.6.3 The bedrock aquifer designation is classified as a ’Secondary A Aquifer’. 3.6.4 Due to the location of the site on an undifferentiated secondary superficial

aquifer with a bedrock designation as a Secondary A aquifer it is not considered likely that groundwater flooding would pose a significant risk to the proposed site. Furthermore the Ribble Valley Strategic Flood Risk Assessment states that:

‘Groundwater flooding is not considered by the Environment Agency to be a

significant flood risk factor in the Ribble Valley Borough Council area.’

Site

Page 16: FLOOD RISK & DRAINAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

Flood Risk & Drainage Impact Assessment – Higher College Farm, Hothersall Report Ref BEK-17203-1 RevB November 2018

3.6.5 As such the risk to the site from groundwater flooding is considered to be low. 3.7 Surface Water 3.7.1 As mentioned in Section 2.5 of this report the risk of surface water flooding to

the site is considered to be very low to low with a surface water flow route located to the west of the site. As such the risk to the proposed development is considered to be low.

Flood Risk & Drainage Impact Assessment – Higher College Farm, Hothersall Report Ref BEK-17203-1 RevB November 2018

4. INDICATIVE DRAINAGE STRATEGY 4.1 Surface Water Drainage Hierarchy 4.1.1 The hierarchy for disposal of surface water from new developments is outlined

within the Building Regulations Approved Document H and specifies the following methods in order of preference:

Infiltration via soakaway or other suitable infiltration device

Discharge to watercourse

Discharge to public sewer

4.2 Infiltration 4.2.1 Soilscapes viewer maps show that the site is situated on slowly permeable

seasonally wet clayey and loamy soils. These types of soils would generally be unsuitable dissipation of surface water via infiltration.

4.2.2 Although considered very unlikely to be viable, the Lead Local Flood Authority

may request additional evidence that the infiltration is unviable at the site. This can be provided by completing a percolation test in accordance with DG 365 (2016) as part of a detailed drainage design.

4.3 Discharge to Watercourse 4.3.1 The nearest watercourse to the site is a land drain which flows along the western

boundary of the site in a southerly direction, it is understood that the land drain is culverted along the west of the site. The watercourse eventually discharges into the River Ribble some 3.7 km south of the site.

4.3.2 It is proposed that surface water is discharged into this land drain at existing

greenfield runoff rates. 4.4 Preliminary Drainage Design 4.4.1 The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate that a surface water drainage

strategy is feasible for the development proposals and land available. 4.4.2 The existing site is comprised of a large agricultural field. Therefore flows leaving

the development site will be restricted to existing greenfield runoff rates using a flow control; and excess flows must be attenuated within the new drainage system prior to discharge into the land drain/culverted watercourse which runs adjacent to the west of the site.

4.4.3 It is proposed that foul from the residential dwellings buildings will be pumped

to a receiving foul sewer located towards the north of the site. The foul sewer

Page 18: FLOOD RISK & DRAINAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

Flood Risk & Drainage Impact Assessment – Higher College Farm, Hothersall Report Ref BEK-17203-1 RevB November 2018

has been constructed as part of a new residential development off Dilworth Lane to the north of the site.

4.4.4 A preliminary drainage strategy is included within Appendix D of this report. 4.5 Outfall Locations 4.5.1 The hierarchy of surface water disposal states that surface water should be

discharged into watercourse as discharge via infiltration is unlikely to be viable. The nearest watercourse is a land drain which flows towards the south located to the south-west of the development site.

4.5.2 As such the outfall from the site will be located to the west or south-west into

the existing land drain which eventually discharges into the River Ribble some 3.7 km south of the site.

4.6 Discharge Rates 4.6.1 The existing site is wholly comprised of an agricultural greenfield. 4.6.2 Greenfield runoff rate limits are required to meet normal Greenfield runoff rate

limits are required to meet normal best criteria in line with the Environment Agency Guidance “Preliminary rainfall runoff management for developments”, W5-074/A/TR1/1 Rev. E (2012) and the CIRIA SUDS Manual (2007).

4.6.3 Utilising the HR Wallingford Greenfield Runoff Estimation for Sites website

greenfield runoff rates have been calculated for the 1 in 1 year, 1 in 30 year and 1 in 100 year return periods, and a summary of the results is tabulated below.

4.6.4 Flows in excess of this must be attenuated within the boundary of the

development prior to disposal.

associated hardstanding comprising a total impermeable area of 0.56 Hectares which represents 49.6% of the total site area.

4.7.2 Using the Surface Water Storage Requirement module on HR Wallingford

website indicative attenuation volumes for the 1 in 100 year event has been

subject to change following the results of percolation testing at the development site, and must not be used for detailed design purposes.

4.7.4 As such it is considered that a geocellular storage tank of 24 m x 11 m and a depth

of 1.6 m at 95% porosity would be sufficient to attenuate flows on site for the 1 in 100 year plus 40% climate change rainfall event prior to discharge at greenfield runoff rate.

4.7.5 Alternatively, a mixture of attenuation and SUDS structures such as oversized

pipes, swales, permeable paving and attenuation storage tanks could be utilised within the site to attenuate surface water prior to discharge.

4.7.6 It is noted that the current proposed site plans indicate that geocellular storage

tanks could be located within the public open space of the site, alternatively private driveways could potentially be constructed from permeable paving, oversized pipes could be utilised beneath the roads within the site and swales could be utilised within the grassed areas of the site.

5. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 The proposed development at Higher College Farm, Hothersall comprises the development of 21 residential dwellings and associated infrastructure and landscaping.

5.2 The site is shown to be located within Flood Zone 1 of the Environment Agency

Flood map. 5.3 The primary source of flood risk to the site is identified to be from an increase in

surface water runoff as a result of development. 5.4 Environment Agency surface water flood maps indicate the site is at very low risk

of surface water flooding with a surface water flow route adjacent to the west of the site. It is considered that the surface water flow route is an existing unnamed watercourse/land drain and the risk of flooding from this source to the development is considered to be low.

5.5 The site is within an area that would experience flooding following a breach of

the reservoirs located to the north of the site, however reservoir flooding is extremely unlikely to happen and the EA undertake routine inspection of reservoirs to ensure the risks of failure are low. As such this is considered to represent a low risk of flooding to the site.

5.5 The risks from secondary sources of flooding such as groundwater flooding, river

flooding and artificial water sources have been investigated and are deemed to present a low risk of flooding to the site.

5.6 The site is comprised of an agricultural greenfield therefore greenfield runoff

rates have been determined using IOH124 method. 5.7 Greenfield runoff rates have been determined to be 8.79 l/s, 17.17 l/s and 21.01

l/s for the 1 in 1 year, 1 in 30 year and 1 in 100 year return periods respectively. 5.8 It is considered that infiltration at the site is unlikely to be viable due to the

underlying boulder clay at the site therefore following the hierarchy of surface water disposal, it is recommended that surface water is discharged into the unnamed watercourse/land drain to the west of the site.

5.9 Surface water attenuation requirements have been determined using the limiting

greenfield discharge rate for the site. The maximum attenuation storage required is 378 m3 however this is subject to change following production of a detailed drainage design for the site.

5.10 Therefore the proposed development would be able to manage surface water

generated as a result of the development and would not increase flood risk at the development site or downstream of the site.

This report was produced using the greenfield runoff tool developed by HR Wallingford and available at www.uksuds.com. The use of this tool is subject to the UK SuDS terms and conditions and licence agreement, which can both be found at http://uksuds.com/terms-and-conditions.htm. The outputs from this tool have been used to estimate storage volume requirements. The use of these results is the responsibility of the users of this tool. No liability will be accepted by HR Wallingford, the Environment Agency, CEH, Hydrosolutions or any other organisation for use of this data in the design or operational characteristics of any drainage scheme.

Greenfield runoff estimation for sites

www.uksuds.com │ Greenfield runoff tool

This is an estimation of the greenfield runoff rate limits that are needed to meet normal best practice criteria in line with Environment Agency guidance “Preliminary rainfall runoff management for developments”, W5-074/A/TR1/1 rev. E (2012) and the SuDS Manual, C753 (Ciria, 2015). This information on greenfield runoff rates may be the basis for setting consents for the drainage of surface water runoff from sites.
