Sources of <strong>Flood</strong> <strong>Risk</strong>:The main source of flood risk to the site is from surface water. With furtherdevelopment and creation of impermeable surfaces, surface water flooding maybecome a problem. The M5 and A4440 Warndon road, the main access roads tothe site, are at risk, in isolated places, from surface water.A small portion of the site, located to the very north-east corner, falls within <strong>Flood</strong>Zone 3b. Primary fluvial risk is to the north-eastern edge of the site resulting fromovertopping of an unnamed tributary of the Bourne Brook. The north-east corner ofthe site is located in the Blue Zone of the Policy Maps.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)Unknown – Lower Permeability1 in 2 year 9.11 in 100 year (plus climate change) 34.52012s5947 S <strong>Worcestershire</strong> Level 2 SFRA Update FINAL Report v1.0.doc 69
