NIDP FLOODING PROJECT

Bowburn

We are currently undertaking a Stage Two Northumbria Integrated Drainage Partnership (NIDP) study in Bowburn. Stage 2 is a diagnostic study where we carry out a more in depth survey, investigation and hydraulic model enhancement to address specific issues and develop opportunities at the top priority locations identified in stage 1. This includes option development and an assessment of cost of the proposed options. We then look at an assessment of benefits and beneficiaries to demonstrate the impact of the proposed project. If we are able to show that the project delivers an appropriate level of benefits ( i.e. it doesn’t cost more to construct than the value of the property that it protects) this enables us to make applications for joint funding to progress to design and construction.

Good morning. My name is Loren and I am the project manager for our strategic study in Bowburn.

I wanted to let everyone know that in the coming weeks we will have surveyors out in Bowburn, mostly in the area of Bowburn Beck. By physically surveying and modeling the watercourse, we can make better predictions about how it interacts with the networks of sewers and highway drains under your streets. This will really help us better understand the causes of flooding within your community.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment here or you can "contact us" at the top of the page.
