Variation to Public Realm Annual Plan 2021/22 – addition of funding
Through Annex 7 of the public realm annual
plan, BBLP support the Council in its role as a Lead Local Flood
Authority (LLFA).
The Yazor Brook Flood Alleviation Scheme (FAS) was delivered to
reduce
the risks of flooding within the city of Hereford to public
infrastructure and
public and private properties within the existing Yazor/Widemarsh
Brooks
floodplains. The Yazor Brook FAS was completed in 2012 but shortly
after it became operational damage occurred at the outfall of the
scheme to the
River Wye bank during periods of heavy rainfall and floods that
occurred.
Permission was given by Natural England for the temporary repair of
the
Wye bank and this was put in place immediately following the
heavy
rainfall and an appraisal of alternative permanent designs for the
outfall
area damaged by flooding commenced.
A series of consultations with relevant stakeholders has taken
place over
subsequent years and this decision will enable further works to
confirm a
preferred option to be taken forward for detailed design and
delivery.
