Info

One area of potential additional flood risk has been identified outside of the Flood Zone 2 and 3 areas; this is on greenfield land adjacent to a small un-named watercourse flowing from west to east between the main village and the Linton Woods residential area. A further flood issue relates to access. During past flood events the road from Linton-on-Ouse to Newton-on-Ouse has become impassable. This is the main access route from the village to York and alternative routes may also be affected. There should be careful consideration given to the type of development permitted or encouraged in the village in the future due to the potential reoccurrence of access restrictions. The presence of flood defences is noted on the plans. On the basis of the known extents of past flooding events it is apparent that the existing defences provide only a limited level of flood defence and do not alter the area’s Flood Zone 2 and 3 extents. Their presence does not therefore present any additional development opportunities. The Environment Agency commissioned a Flood Risk Management Strategy for the River Ouse in late 2004 to determine the best ways of managing flood risk to people, property and land in the long term. A preferred strategy has now been developed and is out to consultation until 10 February 2006. The Environment Agency study indicated that climate change is likely to increase the flood risk associated with the River Ouse in the Linton area, though should their proposed strategy be adopted the present moderate level of flood risk can be maintained in the long term. (0- 100 year time frame) See plans on pages 76-77 • Shipton Background Shipton is situated on a generally flat landscape, though the village area itself is slightly elevated in relation to the surrounding agricultural land. Flooding There are no Flood Zone 2 or 3 areas within the village or on the greenfield land immediately surrounding it. There are no specific additional flooding risks associated with existing residential areas, the brownfield site on Main Street occupied by a derelict garage, or the greenfield land adjacent to the village. Shipton is however situated on a flat landscape and there is potential for localised flooding problems if surface water drainage channels and culverts are not properly maintained. See plans on pages 78-79 • Stillington Background The main residential area of Stillington is situated on elevated ground, with lower ground surrounding the village. 32
Flooding The main influence on flooding is the River Foss and its associated Flood Zone 2 and 3 areas on the eastern edge of the village, though these areas do not extend into the main residential area. The elevated and sloping nature of the residential area of Stillington means that there is low flood risk within the majority of the existing residential area, and this extends to the majority of the Greenfield land in close proximity to the developed areas. Two areas of potential additional flood risk have been highlighted on the eastern edge of the village which are in close proximity to the Flood Zone 2 and 3 areas. A more detailed flood risk study would be needed to look at the nature of this flood risk should development be considered in this area. An area of highway flooding is shown on the southern edge of the village which relates to highway drainage, a scheme is proposed to alleviate the existing flooding, though there may be an increased flood risk if surface water flows to this area are increased. See plans on page 80 • Tollerton Background Tollerton is situated on a gently sloping landscape with the slightly elevated ground located to the south east and lower ground towards the North West. Flooding Historic flooding problems in the village were linked to poor surface water sewerage infrastructure in Station Road; however the Station Road surface water sewerage scheme which was completed approximately 4 years ago has remedied this problem. The main remaining influence on flooding is the River Kyle and its associated Flood Zone 2 and 3 areas located to the south west of the village. No areas of additional flood risk in the existing developed areas have been identified. Three greenfield areas on the northern side of Tollerton have been identified where there are possible additional flood risks related to land drainage and overland flows. If these areas are to be considered for development then more detailed flood risk assessments will be required. See plans on page 81 33
