1 INTRODUCTION
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Ltd have been commissioned to prepare a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA)
and Drainage Strategy report for a proposed development of a residential units located south of George
Street, Staplehurst, TN12 0RA. A site location plan is enclosed in Appendix A.
With reference to the indicative flood maps published by the Environment Agency, the site appears to
lie entirely within a Flood Zone 1 area. This statement has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements contained within National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF, July 2021) and the
associated Planning Practice Guidance. The guidance refers to the Environment Agency’s “standing
advice” on flood risk. Based on requirements set by the Environment Agency, a Flood Risk assessment
is needed to support the planning application.
This statement has been prepared in accordance with (i) National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF),
(Department for Communities and Local Government, July 2021) and the accompanying (ii) Planning
Practice Guidance (Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, March 2014); (iii)
Maidstone Borough Council Level 1 SFRA update and Level 2 SFRA, dated August 2020; and (iv) Other
statutory laws and local by laws and rules.
It is stated in Paragraph 30 of the Flood Risk and Coastal Change chapter of the Planning Practice
Guidance that “a site-specific flood risk assessment is carried out by (or on behalf of) a developer to
assess the flood risk to and from a development site. Where necessary, the assessment should
accompany a planning application submitted to the local planning authority. The assessment should
demonstrate to the decision-maker how flood risk will be managed now and over the development’s
lifetime, taking climate change into account, and with regard to the vulnerability of its users”.
This report has been prepared to address the requirements of the NPPF and has derived the following
data/information from various sources including:
• Information published or explicitly provided by the Environment Agency;
• Information published by the Local Planning Authority, including the SFRA;
• Enquiries made to relevant authorities to understand possible risks of flooding in the area; and
• Specific design works carried out for this report.

2 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
2.1 Site description
The proposed development is centred at National Grid Reference (NGR) TQ784445 [578400, 144513]
and located south of George Street, Staplehurst, TN12 0RA. The plot is of a triangular shape with a total
developable area of approximately 3.005ha, is greenfield and currently contains three ponds and a
drainage ditch which enters the site from the south and continues north for about 110m before turning
towards the eastern boundary where by it continues off site.
The site is bounded to the south by Staplehurst rail station, to the east by A229 road and the north-west
by George Street. All boundaries have been established with dense hedgerows (see Appendix A and
Figure 2.1 below). There appears to be no formal routes, bridleways or paths crossing the site, but the
western tip abuts a pedestrian right of way leading to the west. The nearest river (River Beult) is located
approximately 1.00km east of the site.

2.2 Topography
A topographical survey was carried out in March 2002 (L2264/1), indicates that the site falls towards the
north-east corner, ranging from 21.92m AOD in the south-west corner to 19.66m AOD in the north-east
corner. The site slopes steeply upwards to meet A229 road at 25.18m AOD in the south-east corner of
the site to tie in with the road levels at the bridge crossing over the railway line. There are a series of
low points across the site associated with the bottom of the ponds and ditches.
2.3 Geological ground conditions
Geological conditions at the site are detailed below and are based on a British Geological Survey (BGS)
maps found online. The focus of an FRA study on geology is on the potential movement of water through
Made Ground, Drift Geology and Solid Geology.
These strata are depicted in Figure 2.2 & Figure 2.3 and outlined in Table 2.1.

3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development (refer to Appendix B) consists of 61 residential units, with associated
parking, infrastructure, and amenity space. A new access road is proposed directly from George Street
to the north-east of the site. The proposals will allow pedestrians and cyclists to safely traverse the site
by connecting the open spaces to the existing footpath to the A229. Subject to later negotiation, a direct
link to the station maybe possible. The proposed site layout retains two of the existing three ponds plus
the ditch towards the eastern boundary.

4 PROBABILITY OF FLOODING
The NPPF identifies six potential sources of flooding: -
• Flooding from rivers (fluvial flooding);
• Flooding from the sea (tidal flooding);
• Flooding from land;
• Flooding from sewers;
• Flooding from groundwater; and
• Flooding from reservoirs, canals, and other artificial sources.
These are considered below.
4.1 Flooding from rivers (fluvial flooding) & sea (tidal flooding)
The assessment of flood risk in this report is based on the definitions in Table 1 in the Flood Risk and
Coastal Change, Planning Practice Guidance, which recognises the following Flood Zones:
• Flood Zone 1 - little or no risk, with annual probability of flooding from rivers and the sea of less
than 0.1% (1 in 1000-year)
• Flood Zone 2 - low to medium risk, with annual probability of flooding between 0.1% and 1.0%
from rivers and between 0.1% and 0.5% from the sea
• Flood Zone 3a - high risk of flooding with an annual probability of flooding of 1.0% or greater
from rivers, and 0.5% or greater from the sea.
• Flood Zone 3b – the ‘Functional Floodplain’ with an annual probability of flooding of 5% or
greater.
The EA Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea map is published on the EA website. It shows of the
likelihood of flooding from rivers and the sea at any location. Their assessment is based on the presence
and effect of all flood defences, predicted flood levels, and ground levels.
The three EA Risk of Flooding Maps (Rivers and Seas, Surface Water and Reservoirs) display the
chance of flooding in any given year in four categories:
• High: An AEP greater than 3.3% (1 in 30) chance.
• Medium: An AEP between 1% (1 in 100) and 3.3% (1 in 30) chance.
• Low: An AEP between 0.1% (1 in 1,000) and 1% (1 in 100) chance.
• Very Low: An AEP of less than 0.1% (1 in 1,000) chance.

4.3 Flooding from land & sewers
Figure 4.3 below shows the site is at a ‘low’ to ‘high’ risk of flooding from surface water. The high risk of
surface water flooding is located along north-west boundary and eastern boundary, around the existing
ponds and ditches. Additionally, low to medium flooding risk occurs across the centre of the site.

4.6 Impact of climate change on rainfall intensity
The EA recommends an allowance of 20-40% should be made to account for the increase in rainfall
intensity with respect to climate change, as shown in Table 4.1 below. Kent County Council (KCC) state
that the drainage design should accommodate up to the 1 in 100 year storm with a 20% allowance for
climate change event, with an additional analysis undertaken to understand the flooding implication for
a greater climate change allowance of 40%.

5 PROPOSED SITE DRAINAGE
5.1 Surface water drainage strategy
Traditional approaches to urban drainage have comprised of underground tanks and pipe networks.
More recently, the benefits and opportunities to use Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been
realised and encouragement to use such systems is promoted throughout Flood Risk Management
policy at all levels. SuDS is a term which encompasses a variety of approaches to managing surface
water in a way which is more sympathetic to the natural and human environment than conventional
piped drainage systems. Management of surface water is an essential element for reducing flood risk
and SuDS techniques are often designed to achieve this in a way that mimics the natural environment.
The Building Regulations (H3) states the priority for discharging surface water runoff from a development
is as follows:
1. Infiltration into the ground;
2. Discharge into a watercourse;
3. Discharge into a sewer.
In conjunction with Building Regulations H3 and national planning practice guidance, the primary
approach to the drainage of surface water runoff must be subject to the results of an infiltration test
commissioned on the development site. However, infiltration is not an appropriate based on information
provided within the Ground Engineering Limited’s ground investigation report dated May 2002,
groundwater levels under the site varied between 0.03m to 6.30m bgl. In addition to the composition of
the stratum underlying the site comprises of slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich
loamy and clayey soil.
The next method of discharge in conjunction to Building Regulation H3 would be to discharge into the
nearest watercourse. This report therefore proposes to discharge into the existing pond and the ditch
adjacent the eastern boundary to maintain flows in the receiving watercourses and mimic natural
hydrological processes.
Southern Water has also been consulted for pre-application advice for the proposed site. This report will
be updated once the information has been received.
5.2 Greenfield runoff rate
An estimate of the greenfield runoff rate for the site has been carried out and is included in Appendix E.
Based on the IH124 method, the greenfield runoff rate from the proposed impermeable area (1.350ha)
is shown in Table 5.1 below.
Return Period Greenfield Runoff Rate (l/s)
1 Year 5.24
Qbar 6.17
30 Year 14.19
100 Year 19.68
Table 5.1 - Greenfield Runoff Rate estimates based on Return Period
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
18
5.3 Proposed development surface water drainage strategy
The Kent LLFA Local Standards and Guidance indicates that drainage discharge rates should be
designed to match greenfield runoff rates as far as possible. It is therefore proposed to limit the discharge
rate to match the greenfield runoff (6.17l/s Qbar) rate using SuDS/ storage features and a flow control
device (Hydro-Brake) before discharging into the existing pond and the ditch at the south-east corner of
the site. In order to reach the ditch, a short length of pipe culvert is proposed between the pond and the
ditch.
The surface water runoff from the proposed impermeable area of 1.350ha (45% of the proposed 3.005ha
site) will be distributed into two surface water networks (see Appendix D).
Both surface water networks comprise of permeable paving (tanking) beneath shared driveways and
car parking courts. This paving will intercept rainfall and provide an element of source control and water
quality which will progress through proposed cellular attenuation units before discharging into the
existing watercourses at a controlled discharge rate of 6.17l/s. Areas of highways and hardstanding that
will not drain via permeable pavements are proposed to be drained through trapped gullies and a bypass
oil separator. A gravity pipe system will convey all surface water runoff to the existing watercourses.
Conventional storage will also be required to accommodate surface water runoff for events up to and
including a 1 in 100 year storm event + 20% climate change. Based on the Quick Storage Estimate
Calculations carried out in MicroDrainage (see Appendix F), a maximum attenuation capacity of 1376m3
will be required for the proposed development site. Site attenuation storage will be provided by
permeable paving (151m3) and cellular attenuation units (1225m3).
5.4 Suds hierarchy
The surface water drainage proposed will incorporate a number of SuDS measures in line with best
practice guidance. The feasibility of different SuDS techniques is outlined in Table 5.2 below.
SuDS Technique Can they be feasibly
incorporated into the site?
Reason
Green Roofs ☓ No green roofs are proposed for the
development due to cost and maintenance
issues.
Basins and Ponds ✓ Proposed to promote water quality and
surface water storage by utilising the
existing ponds and ditches
Filter Strips and Swales ☓ Not proposed due to land constraints.
Permeable Structures ✓ Lined Permeable Paving is proposed as
part of the development to provide water
quality and some water storage.
Rainwater Harvesting ☓ No rainwater harvesting is proposed as the
site is primarily residential. However, water
butts for each property could be proposed.
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
19
Tanked Systems ✓ A sub-surface cellular tanked system is
proposed as part of the surface water
drainage system.
Table 5.2 - Greenfield Runoff Rate estimates based on Return Period
5.5 Proposed foul water drainage strategy
The drainage strategy (refer to Appendix C) proposes to discharge foul water flows into Southern Water
public foul water manhole 5602 located within George Street, in the north-east corner of the site (refer
to Appendix G). This is dependent on the site levels strategy and may require multiple discharge points
into the public foul water sewer. A pre-planning assessment to Southern Water has been submitted to
confirm if the existing public foul water infrastructure has adequate capacity to receive the flows from
the proposed development.
5.6 Maintenance requirements
It is anticipated that a private management company will be employed to maintain the completed
drainage network for the development incorporating the following activities and frequency for each
SUDS component.
5.6.1 Gullies/channels/pipes/manholes
All components are to be periodically cleaned of foreign particles and silt accumulation, on a quarterly
basis. Components located in unadopted areas will be maintained by the landowner. Those located in
adopted areas will be maintained by the adopting authority.
5.6.2 Permeable pavements
Many of the specific maintenance activities for permeable pavements can be undertaken as part of a
general site cleaning contract. A guidance on the type of operational and maintenance requirements is
detailed in table 20.15 from the CIRIA SuDS manual.
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
20
5.6.3 Cellular attenuation storage unit
The proposed Geolight (or equivalent) attenuation unit includes a perforated/ slotted distribution pipe
surrounded by granular material providing filtration and treatment for surface water flows. This will be
installed with an associated filtration device (oil separator, trapped gulley or other) to prevent the intake
of debris and the treatment of hydrocarbon mixed in the surface water runoff. Size of the attenuation
unit must be appropriate for the scale and nature of the development. A typical maintenance schedule
is detailed below in table 13.1 and 21.3 respectively from the CIRIA SuDS manual.
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
21
5.6.4 Pond/ditch
Ponds will require regular maintenance to ensure continuing operation to design performance
standards. Litter and debris removal should be undertaken as a part of general landscape maintenance
of the site. Any invasive maintenance work such as silt or vegetation removal is typically only required
intermittently. Vegetation should be trimmed as necessary to keep the pond free of leaves and for
aesthetic and safety reasons. Sediment management will have to take place occasionally which should
be disposed of in accordance with current waste management legislation.
5.6.5 Proprietary systems
Proprietary systems will require routine maintenance by the owner to ensure continuing operation to
design performance standards. A typical maintenance schedule is detailed below in table 14.2 from the
CIRIA SuDS manual.

Notes
1 - This classification is based partly on Defra/Environment Agency research on Flood Risks to People
(FD2321/TR2)21 and also on the need of some uses to keep functioning during flooding.
2 - Buildings that combine a mixture of uses should be placed into the higher of the relevant classes of flood
risk sensitivity. Developments that allow uses to be distributed over the site may fall within several classes of
flood risk sensitivity.
3 - The impact of a flood on the particular uses identified within this flood risk vulnerability classification will
vary within each vulnerability class. Therefore, the flood risk management infrastructure and other risk
mitigation measures needed to ensure the development is safe may differ between uses within a particular
vulnerability classification.

Table 6.2 - Flood Risk Vulnerability and Flood Zone ‘Compatibility’
The proposed development is appropriate in accordance with Table 3 of the Flood Risk and Coastal
Change, Planning Practice Guidance, reproduced in Table 6.2 above.
6.2 Sequential test & exception test
The NPPF requires that all development is sequential tested to steer new development to areas at the
lowest probability of flooding (Flood Zone 1). The Sequential Test would normally be completed by the
Local Planning Authority (LPA) to inform the preparation of the Local Development Framework (LDF),
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
24
where one exists. However, where this process has not yet been completed the onus for the provision
of evidence demonstrating successful application of the Sequential Test falls to the developer, or
promoter of the site. The NPPF also requires the layout of a site to be sequentially tested to locate the
most vulnerable land uses in the areas at lowest risk of flooding.
The NPPF Planning Practice Guidance acknowledges that in some circumstances it may not be possible
to locate development in areas of low or appropriate (considering development vulnerability) flood risk
or that there may be other valid reasons for a development to take place within the floodplain. In these
circumstances, it is necessary to apply the Exception Test to clearly demonstrate that the benefits for
development of a site outweigh the flood risks to the development and its occupants. Table 3 of the
Flood Risk and Coastal Change, Planning Practice Guidance (reproduced in Table 6.2 above) indicates
when the Exception Test is required.
The proposed development site falls entirely into Flood Zone 1, meaning the Sequential Test is deemed
to be passed and the Exception Test is not required.
6.3 Local policy
Kent County Council’s Drainage and Planning Policy which was adopted in December 2019 sets out the
following requirements for developments on greenfield and previously developed sites:
• For developments on greenfield sites peak runoff rates from the 1 in 1-year (100% AEP) to the
1 in 100-year (1% AEP) rainfall events should be limited to the peak greenfield runoff rates for
the same events.
• For developments on brownfield sites, the peak runoff rate must be as close as reasonably
practicable to the greenfield runoff rate but should never exceed the existing rate of discharge
prior to redevelopment. Unless it can be demonstrated to be reasonably impracticable, a 50%
reduction in the peak runoff rate is expected.
• The drainage system must be designed to operate without flooding on any part of the site during
any rainfall event up to (and including) a 1 in 30- year (3.3% AEP) rainfall event.
• The drainage system must also be designed to operate without flooding in any building up to
(and including) a 1 in 100-year (1% AEP) plus climate change rainfall event, without exacerbating
off-site flood risk.
• Exceedance flows that cannot be managed within the drainage system must be managed via
exceedance flow routes that minimise the risks to people and property.
• Attenuation storage volumes provided by drainage areas must half empty within 24 hours to
enable runoff from subsequent storms to be received. If the time taken to drain from full to empty
exceeds 24 hours long duration events should be assessed to ensure drainage is not negatively
impacted by inundation.
The Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) has been contacted for pre-application advice for the
proposed site. This report will be updated once the information has been received.

7 FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
7.1 Flood mitigation measures
NPPF guidance advises that an FRA should take into account the flood risk to people in terms of ‘public
safety issues’, access/egress to/from and evacuation/rescue from the site.
The site itself poses ‘little to no flood risk’ of flooding as it lies within Flood Zone 1. However, as
evidenced in Figure 4.3, the site is at a ‘low to high’ risk of flooding from surface water. The high risk of
surface water flooding is located along north-west boundary and eastern boundary, around the existing
ponds and ditches. Additionally, ‘low to medium’ flooding risk occurs across the centre of the site. JBA
has been instructed to carry out a baseline and post-development hydrological assessment to simulate
the flood extents, levels and flows through time in relation to the site. This report will be updated once
the Hydraulic Study outcome is made available.
7.1.1 Public safety issues
Given the relatively very low risk of flooding across the entire site, there is no requirement to develop a
Flood Evacuation Plan to address public safety issues, nor are flood resilient construction methods
deemed necessary.
7.1.2 Safe access/egress
The risk of surface water flooding around the new access road proposed directly from George Street at
the north-east of the site is categorised as ‘low to medium’. Subject to JBA post-development hydraulic
modelling results, we will confirm the flood risk to the site access and, if required, alterations needed to
the proposal.
Should there be any flood risk within the vicinity of the site it is advised that occupants remain on the
premises. If evacuation is required, this should be done via Station Road.
7.1.3 Flood risk elsewhere
The proposed surface water network will be positively drained, comprising on-site surface water storage
units which eliminates all foreseeable flood risk within the site. The proposed modifications are localised
and are not expected to increase the potential of flooding to neighbouring property. Further mitigative
measures for the proposed development which may be recommended include:
• Restricting the surface water flow to a prescribed discharge rate and ensuring there is sufficient
attenuation capacity for a 100 year, with 20% climate change, event.
• Ensure managed surface water and exceedance flood flows are diverted away from the
surrounding buildings.
• Exceedance flood flows should be guided into the landscaped areas of the site or into the car
parking areas.
7.2 Surface water management strategy
The NPPF guidance states that developers and local authorities should not increase flood risk elsewhere
due to site development. Additionally, developers should aim to reduce the overall risk of flooding for
the area with the appropriate application of SUDS.
The proposed additions are localised, are not expected to increase the potential of flooding to
neighbouring property and further employment of SuDS are not feasible.
Pinnacle Consulting Engineers Limited Flood Risk Assessment and Drainage Strategy Report C060304-PIN-XX-XX-RP-C-02 Version 3.0 Staplehurst, North Site
26
7.2.1 Discharge strategy
Infiltration is not a viable method of discharging surface water runoff due to shallow groundwater levels
beneath the site in addition to the composition of the stratum underlying the site comprises of slowly
permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soil. This report therefore
proposes to discharge into the existing pond and the ditch adjacent the eastern boundary to maintain
flows in the receiving watercourses and mimic natural hydrological processes.
7.2.2 Drainage strategy design
The surface water runoff from the proposed impermeable area of 1.350ha (45% of the proposed 3.005ha
site) will be distributed into two surface water networks comprising of SuDS/ storage features and a flow
control device (Hydro-Brake) limiting the discharge rate to match the greenfield runoff (6.17l/s Qbar)
before discharging into the existing pond and the ditch at the south-east corner of the site.
7.3 Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)
Our proposals comprise the capture and retention of surface water runoff through the implementation
of SuDS devices, including permeable paving, geo-cellular attenuation, open pond structures and
ditches.
7.4 Foul water management strategy
The drainage strategy proposes to discharge foul water flows into Southern Water public foul water
manhole 5602 under George Street, in the north-east corner of the site subject to the results of a pre-
development enquiry.

8 CONCLUSIONS
The proposed site is of a triangular shape with a total developable area of approximately 3.005ha, is greenfield and currently contains three ponds and a drainage ditch towards the eastern boundary. The proposed site is located in Flood Zone 1 with little or no risk of flooding from rivers and seas. The site has 'low' to 'high' risk of flooding from surface water, especially concentrated around the existing surface water features. Hydraulic study will determine the extent of surface water flooding and the proposed FFL requirements for the development. Infiltration is not a viable method of discharging surface water due to shallow groundwater table and existing ground profile. Proposed surface water discharge system will be limited to the greenfield runoff rate and will discharge into the existing ponds. Proposed foul water runoff will be discharged into the existing Southern Water public sewer.
Proposed development will not increase the flood risk elsewhere.
In accordance with NPPF guidance, the proposed development is deemed acceptable, therefore the
level of flood risk is considered acceptable for the vulnerability class.

(2) Are flow rates < 5.0 l/s?
Where flow rates are less than 5.0 l/s consent for discharge isusually set at 5.0 l/s if blockage from vegetation and othermaterials is possible. Lower consent flow rates may be set wherethe blockage risk is addressed by using appropriate drainageelements.
(3) Is SPR/SPRHOST ≤ 0.3?
Where groundwater levels are low enough the use of soakawaysto avoid discharge offsite would normally be preferred fordisposal of surface water runoff.
