The Scale of the problem...
In 2010 490,000 properties at Significant risk
By 2035 an additional 350,000 will be at risk ifinvestment levels maintained in cash terms.
To maintain numbers at risk at 2010 level,investment will need to double to 1040 millionplus inflation by 2035 (80% increase on 2010)
But... Not all of that has to be funded byCentral Government

Planned Growth and urban regeneration in Bridgwater required a strategicrather than a piecemeal approach to flood risk.
Preferred flood risk solution is a Surge Barrier known as The ParrettBarrier - estimated cost 25m. Identified in Lower Parrett and Tone floodRisk Management Strategy.

The proposed flood defence scheme does
not meet national eligibility criteria for
Defra Grant in Aid funding
This means that in the short term, development
will be constrained (due to flood risk) and in the
longer term the town will suffer more frequent direct
economic, social and environmentalflooding impacts

Dealing with Residual Flood RiskLocating highly & more vulnerable uses such as residential on parts of
the site at less risk of flooding
Using ground floors of buildings for less vulnerable and watercompatible uses i.e. commercial development, non residentialinstitutions, marinas, amenity open space, nature conservation, carparking
Raising floor levels where appropriate in design terms & taking intoaccount access considerations
Using flood resilient construction methods such as water resistantmaterials for floors, walls & fixtures, siting electrical controls, cables etc
above flood level.

Lessons LearnedDeveloping long term relationships takes time & effort
Get in earlyWe have to come to the table with something to offerDifferent organizations have different timelines, prioritiesand driversFlexibility and openness are fundamentalTaking and sharing measured financial risksThe overriding control on this engagement model isdevelopment viability i.e the size of the cake & canonly be cut so many ways
Partnership working is all about compromiseunderstanding and working with the agenda of others
Understand and brigade future funding gaps
