Strategic Flood Risk Assessment & Water Cycle Strategy

Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Strategic Flood Risk Assessment - Level 1

The results from the SFRA will enable the correct application of the Sequential Test, as set out in PPS25, to ensure that land use decisions in the PDCS are directed to sites at the lowest probability of flooding and will provide useful baseline information to aid the sustainability Appraisal.  The SFRA has been completed alongside the Water Cycle Strategy and jointly with Redditch Borough Council. The Strategic Flood Risk Assessment have previously been presented to Members in draft form. Bromsgrove District Council Officers, Redditch Borough Council Officers and the Environment Agency made comments on the draft documents and changes have been made accordingly. These changes have been discussed at Planning Advisory Panel and can be seen at the end of each report. The consultants also produced an addendum report which assessed the three potential Sustainable Urban Extensions to Redditch which have been identified through the ‘Study into the future growth implications of Redditch’.

Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Water Cycle Strategy

The main objective of the Water Cycle Strategy (WCS) is to establish where constraints to development exist and to identify measures to eliminate or mitigate such constraints through the planning process. The WCS incorporates a strategic assessment of water resources and supply, sewerage and waste water treatment systems. The WCS has been completed alongside the SFRA and jointly with Redditch Borough Council. As with the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment, Bromsgrove District Council Officers, Redditch Borough Council Officers and Environment Agency have made comments and suggested changes on the draft WCS , which were then incorporated into the final report.
