A.3.7 These are the towns and villages to which the Strategic Policy at paragraph 4.3.1 refers. Cregneash may also be judged to have the characteristics of a village, but as the National Folk Museum it is subject to special consideration, seeking to preserve and protect the authenticity and integrity of the village and its setting. Maughold also has some of the characteristics of a village but consists of only a small number of houses within the Conservation Area and has a recognised special historic character.

APPENDIX 4

GUIDANCE ON REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UNDERTAKING OF A FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT

Introduction

A.4.1 The following guidance relates only to the commissioning and undertaking of flood risk assessment studies on particular sites. Flood risk assessments will be required for both fluvial and tidal flooding. The Department of Transport is currently developing a Flood Risk Guidance Document and undertaking flood mapping, the results of which will be fed into the preparation of the Area Plans.

Preparation

A.4.2 Where it is judged that a flood risk assessment is required, the nature of the study undertaken and the final report produced will depend on: the flood history of the site including particular site characteristics, its location, the proximity of watercourses and other bodies of water in the vicinity; the nature of surrounding land uses; and the type and scale of the development proposed. Occasionally, preliminary or scoping studies may be necessary prior to fuller assessments, particularly where there is uncertainty over how comprehensive a flood risk assessment needs to be. In some cases, it may be that there already exists information on flood risk in particular areas or on certain sites; this should be investigated and, subject to copyright and intellectual property rights, included with any final report. Account should be taken of the local knowledge of flooding in the community and this should be supported by plans and data where possible.

A.4.2.1 The level of detail and technical complexity of a flood risk report will reflect the scale and potential significance of the study, but as a minimum, it should address the following requirements in terms of plans, supporting assessments and analysis, and conclusions. The Department of Transport's Drainage Division will advise the flood return period to be adopted.

Plans

A.4.3 The following plans must be included with the assessment:

1. A location plan at an appropriate scale that includes geographical features, and identifies all watercourses or other bodies of water in the vicinity, including drainage outfalls.
2. An appropriately scaled contoured plan indicating existing levels and levels following development.
3. A plan showing existing flood alleviation measures in the vicinity of the site together with details of their condition and performance.
4. A plan of the site showing any existing information on extent and depth of flood events or on flood predictions. Additional information provided can be anecdotal or photographic, and can include survey results or model estimates. Any changes which have taken place since the last event should be identified.
5. A plan of any structures which may influence local hydraulics, including bridges, pipes/ducts crossing the water course, culverts, screens, embankments or walls, overgrown or collapsing channels and the likelihood of their becoming blocked by debris.
6. A cross-section of the site indicating finished floor levels or road levels or other relevant levels relative to the source of flooding and to anticipated water levels and associated probabilities.

Other information

A.4.4 The following additional information may also be required:

1. The probabilities and any observed trends and the extent and depth of floods for the location and, if appropriate, the catchment area.
