Sources of <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Risk</strong>:Primary flood risk to the site is fluvial, resulting from overtopping of the unnamedtributaries of the Piddle Brook, to the north of the site. This northern edge of the sitefalls within <strong>Flood</strong> Zone 3b and the Blue Zone of the Policy Maps. The northernB4082 Snodsbury road, the main access road to the site, is at risk from fluvialflooding.Further development and creation of impermeable surfaces may result in anincrease of surface water flood risk. The northern B4082 Snodsbury road, the mainaccess road to the site is 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 TypeGreenfield Runoff Rate (l/s/ha)Estimated Attenuation Storage Volume (m 3 ) 220 – 310Unknown – Less Permeable1 in 2 year 9.21 in 100 year (plus climate change) 35.52012s5947 S <strong>Worcestershire</strong> Level 2 SFRA Update FINAL Report v1.0.doc 162
