NON‐TECHNICAL SUMMARY

Introduction

Bath&NorthEastSomersetCouncil(theCouncil)andtheEnvironmentAgencyareworkinginpartnershiptodeliveraprojectcalled‘BathQuaysWaterside’(referredtoas‘theProject’fromnowon).TheProjecthasthefollowingthreeprimaryobjectives:

toreduceexistingandfuturefloodrisktoimportantroadsandresidentialandcommercialpropertiesonthesouthsideoftheRiverAvon;

tomakeimprovementstothewaythewatersoftheRiverAvonwillflowandbemanagedduringtimesoffloodinordertoenablefuturedevelopmentsassociatedwiththeCouncil’s‘InnovationQuays’Project;

toenhancetheriversideenvironmenttothebenefitofwildlife,localpeopleandvisitorstoBath.

TheProjectissubmittinganapplicationforplanningpermissionandisthereforealsosubjecttotheprovisionsoftheTownandCountryPlanning(EnvironmentalImpactAssessment)Regulations2011(SI2011/1824)(referredtoas‘theEIARegulations’).InaccordancewiththeseRegulations,anEnvironmentalImpactAssessment(EIA)hasbeencarriedouttounderstandtheeffectsthattheworkswhichcomprisetheProjectwillhaveontheenvironment.TheresultsoftheEIA,includingdetailsofhowpotentiallyadverseeffectswillbepreventedorreduced,arereportedinanEnvironmentalStatement,whichwillaccompanytheplanningapplication.ThisNon‐TechnicalSummarysummarisestheimportantfindingsoftheEIA.

Origins of the Project

TherecentlyAdoptedBathandNorthEastSomersetCoreStrategy(adoptedon10thJuly2014),includesforseveralnewdevelopmentsalongthecorridoroftheRiverAvoninBath.Someoftheareasidentifiedforregenerationarelocatedwithinthefloodplainoftheriverand,undercurrentGovernmentpolicy,arethereforenotpermissiblefordevelopmentwithoutsuitablemeasurestoalleviatefloodriskbeinginplace.Hence,weareproposingtoprovidethefloodmitigationandimprovementworksrequiredtoenablefutureregenerationworksinBathQuaysNorth,BathQuaysSouthandManversStreet.

ItwasalsorecognisedearlyoninthedevelopmentoftheProjectthattherewouldbeopportunitiestoreduceexistingandfuturefloodrisktokeyroadsandresidentialandcommercialareas;aswellasopportunitiestoenhancethelocalriversideforthebenefitofwildlifeandpeople.

Alternative options considered

TheCouncilhaspreviouslycarriedoutcomputermodellingoffloodeventsintheRiverAvonanditsfloodplain.Thismodellingwasusedtoassessthelikelyimpactonthepassageoffloodwater(conveyance)andfloodwaterstoragefromfuturedevelopments(BathQuaysandManversStreet).Theresultsshowedthattheprincipleimpactofground‐raisingwithinthefuturedevelopmentareaswouldbealossofflowconveyance,ratherthanalossoffloodstorage.Arangeofalternativeapproacheswerethenconsideredtoaddressthisproblemincluding:increasingchannelcapacity(dredgingthechannel);providingcompensatorystorageareasupstreamofBath;and,providing‘compensatoryflowconveyance’(i.e.locallyincreasingtheamountofspaceavailableforfloodwaterflowstopassdowntheriverchannel).Themodellingconcludedthatthebestsolutionformitigatingthelikelyfutureincreaseinfloodriskasaresultoftheproposeddevelopmentswastoprovidecompensatoryflowconveyance.

Alternativeoptionstoprovidethecompensatoryflowconveyanceconsidered:thelocationofoptionsforcompensatoryflowconveyance;designandroutingofnewflooddefences;designoffloodprotectiononaffectedbuildings;and,thecompositionandlocationsoflandscapingworks.

The solution (the proposed Project)

InordertoachievetheProject’sobjectives,arangeofworksareproposed.Theseinclude:localwideningoftheupperpartsoftheriverbank;improvementstoexistingflooddefencewalls;newstretchesofflooddefencewalls;replacementofwindowsanddoorsonbuildingscurrentlyvulnerabletoflooding;alocalroadrealignmentwithassociatedhighwaysworks;and,landscapingworks.

Stakeholder engagement and consultation

TheCouncilandEnvironmentAgencyhaveconsultedwithexpertswithintheirownorganisationsandawiderangeofotherstakeholders(statutoryconsulteeorganisationsandnon‐statutorygroupsaswellasindividualmembersofthepublicwithaninterestintheProject).

Detailedconsultationhasalsobeencarriedoutonatopic‐by‐topicbasisasneeded.Forexample,toinformthefloraandfaunaassessment,meetingswereheldwitharangeofbiodiversityspecialists.

Stakeholder engagement events, including public exhibitions, have been carried out as part of the Project and information gathered has helped shape the outline design.
