正文(英文) | Plans approved for a new ‘aquagreen’ that will reduce flood damage in east HullAn Environment Agency project to create a large ‘aquagreen’ that will reduce flood risk to over 870 properties and key infrastructure in east Hull has been given the go ahead. Planning permission for the project at Castlehill has now been approved by Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council and work is expected to start late spring. A public consultation was launched in September 2020 on proposals for the ‘aquagreen’ - a versatile green space, south of the old Bransholme Dairy Farm, which will store excess water during a flood and then slowly release it back into the drainage system after the peak of the flood has passed. Homes in North Carr and Sutton are currently at risk of flooding from water in the Holderness and Sutton Cross drains after heavy rain. The Holderness Drain is a man-made river channel. When it becomes full, water flows into Sutton Cross Drain, overwhelming the local drainage system and increasing the risk of flooding for homes in the area. This area narrowly avoided disaster in November 2019 when other parts of Hull were affected by flooding. The ‘aquagreen’ is the second phase of the £28.5m Holderness Drain Flood Alleviation Scheme, and follows construction of the new East Hull Pumping Station. The scheme has been made possible thanks to a close collaboration between a number of organisations: Andrew Barron, Environment Agency flood risk advisor for Hull, said:
Councillor Dean Kirk, Hull City Council’s portfolio holder for flood risk, said:
Councillor Chris Matthews, portfolio holder for environment and climate change at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said:
James Leeming, Senior Project Manager at National Highways, said:
James Newman, Chair of the Hull and East Yorkshire LEP, said:
Partnership fundingThis partnership scheme, led by the Environment Agency and supported by Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, National Highways and the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership’s Local Growth Fund Programme, will better protect around 1,000 properties and help to provide a long-term, more sustainable solution to the problem of flooding in this area. The Hull and East Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership secured £2.14 million towards the project through the Local Growth Fund as part of the Government’s commitment to the Northern Powerhouse. The project is part of a record £5.2 billion investment by the Government in 2,000 new flood and coastal defences across the country between 2021 and 2027. You can read a more detailed description of the changes to the plans in the full report, which can be downloaded from the Holderness Drain website: If residents have any questions they can email the project team at: HoldernessdrainFAS@environment-agency.gov.uk To find out about flood risk in your area and to sign up to the Environment Agency’s free flood warning service, visit www.gov.uk/flood or call Floodline on 0345 988 1188.
