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 River 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.
This funding is required in addition to the £10k that was
approved for the Yazor FAS in December 2021 through a Record of
Officer Decision. This extra funding will enable consultation with
stakeholders.
