Sources of <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Risk</strong>:Primary flood risk to the site is fluvial, resulting from overtopping of the BrunchesBrook, to the west of the site. Roughly half of the site, to the western side, fallswithin <strong>Flood</strong> Zone 2. The Childswickham Road and the B4632 Cheltenham Road,some of the main access roads to the site, is at risk from fluvial flooding.This site is shown to be partially within one of the County Council’s historic floodhotspots.Surface water presents a risk to the site. Further development and creation ofimpermeable surfaces may result in an increase of surface water flood risk.Childswickham Road and the B4632 Cheltenham, some of the main access roads tothe site, are at risk from surface water.Surface Water Drainage:As an indication of requirements to manage surface water runoff at the development site anassessment of the soil types, greenfield runoff rate and attenuation storage volume is includedbelow. Storage volumes displayed are calculated with an assumption that 75% of the site will bedeveloped impermeable ground. A 25% increase in rainfall depths has been included torepresent predicted future climate change effects.PLEASE NOTE: This assessment has been carried out using broad-scale datasets and aims toprovide an indication of the likely opportunities and constraints for this development site. Adetailed drainage assessment based on site-specific conditions should be carried out by asuitably qualified professional and submitted with any planning application. The values belowshould not be used for design purposes.Soil TypeFluvial DepositsGreenfield Runoff Rate (l/s/ha) 1 in 2 year 14.22012s5947 S <strong>Worcestershire</strong> Level 2 SFRA Update FINAL Report v1.0.doc 140
