Current/Next Activity
|
|
B4 - Scarborough to Ouse Bridge (Right
Bank)
|
Planning application was submitted
on the 7th of January with a Determination Deadline of
5th March.
·
We are looking to
increase the height of the Lendal Bridge flood gate (by 300mm) and
existing flood walls and flood gates at North Street gardens (by
380mm). This work includes widening of the flood gate adjacent to
the Hub.
·
A new flood wall will
be constructed around Memorial Gardens with demountable defences
and a small embankment to tie it into the existing line of
defence.
·
The road between
Westgate Apartments and the Post Office building will continue to
be sandbagged in a flood event
|
·
We are meeting with
CYC Estates and their Arboriculture lead on 20 Feb to discuss tree
mitigation and replantation costs.
·
Leeman Rd overnight
closures 18 Feb to 2 Mar to conduct Trial pits.
·
We are expected to
start on-site construction by May 2019.
|
|
B7 - Queen's Staith and Skeldergate
|
A
combination of gates and demountable barriers have been considered
for this flood cell
·
Surface water outfalls
and a sewer pipe cross the proposed demountable defence line.
Without a significant amount of work being done on these assets by
Yorkshire Water, there is a risk that they could provide a flow
route for flood water in an event.
|
·
We held a meeting with
YW to discuss the results of the surveys on their assets. YW still
need to confirm number of outfalls and costing for preventing
fluvial flooding.
|
|
B8 - Clementhorpe and South Bank
|
Clementhorpe
We
have been engaging with residents on the new proposals for the
flood cell following the results of phase 1 ground investigations.
Our revised proposal is as follows:
·
Raising of the 4
corners of the boundary wall at Postern Close and Postern
House
·
1.85m bi-fold flood
gate on Clementhorpe
·
New 1.85m flood wall
in front of Waterfront House with structural glass panel inserts.
An extra step will be added to the existing steps between
Waterfront House and Dukes Wharf.
·
Road raising and
extension to existing wall at Dukes Wharf
·
Lower Ebor Street flood wall has been raised by Roomzzz and
an extension will be completed by Roomzzz on
our behalf to the north corner of the site.
·
Increase the height of
existing flood wall at the Caravan Park by 0.3m and embankments by
raising with piles and wall (by 0.4m) and build a new embankment to
the rear of the site. The road access by Vine Street will be raised
by 0.4m.
·
Anne Street/Rowntree
Park entrance: Curb raising to follow existing fence line around
the top side of the park. Shallow embankment of 0.3m with a
new pedestrian access ramp
Engagement has been focused on
those properties directly affected by the scheme and its
construction. A wider community event will take place at
Clementhorpe Community Centre on 6 March between 3pm and
7:30pm.
|
·
Phase 2 ground
investigations: 4-14 March
·
Planning application
submitted: early March
·
Public meeting: 6
March
·

South Bank
We
are offering property flood resilience to 50 properties at risk of
flooding. We wrote to residents in December 2018, explaining our
proposals for PFR and asked if they would like to take part.
As the response to our invitation was only 32%, further engagement
work is required to ensure we hear from all eligible residents. At
present, 12 properties have confirmed that they would like to
partake in the PFR scheme. We would welcome support from CYC and
local ward councillors to engage with individuals.
We
are currently working through the tender process to secure a
supplier for PFR, to deliver both the South Bank and New Walk PFR
schemes. Whilst the delivery programme will be confirmed by the
successful supplier, our draft programme is as follows:
·
June – supplier
appointed
·
July – product
selection commences (working with individual residents)
·
Aug onwards –
products ordered and installation begins
|
·
Complete tender
process and appoint supplier (June 19)
·
Confirm with residents
take up for the scheme (June 19)
·
Confirm programme for
delivery with new suppliers
|
|
B9 - Fulford
|
We
have agreed with CYC that we will take a holistic approach to this
flood cell. The current assumption is that CYC will now lead on
delivery and funding of a potential solution.
|
·
Support
CYC to deliver this cell.
|
|
B10 - Clifton & Rawcliffe
|
Planning application was submitted
on the 2nd of January with a Determination Deadline of
25th April.
·
We are looking to
raise and extend the existing Clifton Ings Barrier Bank and install
a permanent pumping station at Blue Beck
·
This will better
protect 140 properties
·
Construction will take
place in two parts over two seasons. In this time, access to the
Ings will be limited and, in some cases, completely
restricted.
|
·
We are in discussions
with BAM (our contractor) to review the cost of delivering this
scheme and are looking at Value Engineering
Opportunities.
·
We are expecting to go
to Planning Committee on the 18th April.
|
|
B11 - Coppins Farm to Scarborough Bridge (Left
Bank)
|
We
are proposing to raise the existing flood wall on Almery Terrace
and to raise and extend the embankment in the grounds of St
Peter’s School
·
Following engagement
with St Peter’s School, the section of embankment through the
school grounds will follow the Northeast alignment.
·
Having spoken to
Almery Terrace residents about the options for raising the flood
wall in their gardens, we are looking to use glass
panels.
|
·
We are expecting to
start construction in July
·
Burdyke pumping
station will be removed from the scheme because the benefits are
understood to be low.
|
|
B12 - Scarborough Bridge to Lendal Bridge (Left
Bank)
|
We
are proposing to raise the existing Earlsborough Terrace flood
wall, the Marygate flood wall and gate and the embankment which
runs through Museum Gardens
·
The alignment of the
embankment in Museum Gardens has been confirmed with York Museums
Trust
|
·
We are aiming to start
construction in September.
·
We are still
considering the widening of the Scarborough Bridge gate, with
possibility of funding from the Scarborough Bridge works
·
Detailed design
drawings expected early March
|
|
B15 - King's Staith to Skeldergate
Bridge
|
Our
investigations have shown that a flood defence in this location
would not be cost beneficial or have a negative impact on the
riverside amenity and neighbouring businesses.
·
It is
likely that the best solution for this cell will be
PFR.
|
·
If PFR
surveys are carried out, they will need to be more detailed towards
the lower end of King’s Staith to find out how much seepage
occurs.
·
Work on Tower Gardens
as part of Castle Gateway has now been streamlined so it is
unlikely that road raising will be included in this
project.
·
Currently no suitable
solution to prevent flow path onto Tower St.
|
|
B16 - New Walk
|
We
are offering property flood resilience to 71 properties at risk of
flooding. We wrote to residents in December 2018, explaining our
proposals for PFR and asked if they would like to take part.
As the response to our invitation was only 62%, further engagement
work is required ensure we hear from all eligible residents. At
present, 41 properties have confirmed that they would like to
partake in the PFR scheme. We would welcome support from CYC and
local ward councillors to engage with individuals.
We
are currently working through the tender process to secure a
supplier for PFR, to deliver both the New Walk and South Bank PFR
schemes. Whilst the delivery programme will be confirmed by the
successful supplier, our draft programme is as follows:
·
June – supplier
appointed
·
July – product
selection commences (working with individual residents)
·
Aug onwards –
products ordered and installation begins
|
·
Complete tender
process and appoint supplier (June 19)
·
Confirm with residents
take up for the scheme (June 19)
·
Confirm programme for
delivery with new suppliers.

C1 - Bishopthorpe
|
To
provide a 1 in 100 Standard of Protection in this flood cell we
have proposed installing a new floodwall and flood gate. The YW
sewer on Chantry Lane requires a manual penstock and manhole size
increasing to facilitate this and a new manhole on Chantry Lane to
facilitate pumping during a flood. We submitted proposals to the YW
developer services team on Dec 5th and are still
awaiting response.
|
·
At a meeting with
Yorkshire Water on the 8th February, YW confirmed that
we can install a manual penstock on their sewer and undertake
manhole works. YW will make a small contribution to the cost and
maintain the new penstock. Outstanding action on YW Developer
Services to provide response to our proposals on 5th
Dec.
|
|
C2 - Acaster Malbis
|
The
6 properties at risk of flooding in this area will come under the
new framework for Property Flood Resilience.
|
·
These properties will
be included in the rollout of the PFR scheme.
|
|
C3 - Naburn
|
Our
investigations are in the process of being completed. The
benefit cost of the initial proposed solution is low and therefore
may not receive Government funding.
|
·
Engage with the local
community to explain our findings and what we are able to offer to
reduce flood risk.
|
|
Foss barrier
|
In
addition to the extensive upgrade to the pumping station we are
upgrading the barrier gate and need to address raising the flood
walls around St Georges Field Car Park.
My
Castle Gateway are proposing a new Multi Storey Car Park on this
site and are submitting plans which includes a raised access road
to maintain access during a flood event.
|
·
Install a taller
barrier gate (10.85m) expected completion Autumn 2019.
·
Raise height of flood
wall around St Georges Field car park
·
Work with the My
Castle Gateway project to ensure the access road forms an integral
part of the flood defence and coordinate any wall
raising.
|
|
F4/F5 - Tang Hall Beck and Osbaldwick
Beck
|
We
are investigating the feasibility of opening up part of Osbaldwick
Culvert that runs through St Nicholas Fields and building a flood
wall at the end of Hull Rd Park. There is still much that needs to
be resolved around this work and details at this stage are
unavailable.
|
·
We will arrange
engagement with St Nicks to discuss impact on the nature
reserve.
·
Ongoing talks with YW
regarding sewer diversions.
|
|
F9 - South Beck
|
The
Options Appraisal Report for this cell is being reviewed to assess
the viability of implementing a scheme for this area.
|
·
Details to come when
available followed by engagement with the local
community.
|
|
F8 - Groves to Haley's Terrace
F10 - Haley's Terrace to Link Road
F11 - Link Road to Ring Road
|
To
reduce the risk of flooding to properties in cells F8, F10 and F11
we are proposing to build a Flood Storage Area near Strensall. We
are now starting the detailed design which is expected to take
around 5 months.
|
·
On-going modelling
work to ascertain extent of flooding in order to calculate and
agree compensation strategy with affected landowners.
|
|
F12 - Westfield Beck
|
The
Options Appraisal Report for this cell is being reviewed to assess
the viability of implementing a scheme for this area.
|
·
Details to come when
available followed by engagement with the local
community.
