1 INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 This Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) addresses flood risk with respect to onshore aspects of the proposed Gallope Wind Farm (GWF).

1.1.2 This FRA is the outcome of a Level 1 Study in terms of the guidance given in the PPS25 Practice Guide Companion. This study will aim to

• Identify the potential sources of flooding to the site; • Consider the potential impacts of the development proposals

upon the local flood regime; and • Outline strategies to manage the flood risk to the site and local

area allowing for future climate change.

2 DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

2.1 Development Description

2.1.1 Galloper Wind Farm Limited (GWFL) are proposing to develop a new offshore wind farm. As part of this project there is a requirement for onshore infrastructure to allow electricity generated to be connected to the national grid. As such, a new onshore substation is required in the Sizewell area and is the element of the onshore development that is the subject of this Flood Risk Assessment (FRA). The other features of the development are not considered relevant to the FRA or are of a minor nature, such as underground cabling and cable access covers.

2.1.2 Construction is programmed to commence in 2013 at the earliest and last for approximately 38 months. GWF will be operational for a period of 25 years, with the ability to repower at the ends of its life, subject to any approvals. Whilst not the subject of the DCO application, in acknowledgement of the potential for repowering and the importance of considering long term climate change, this FRA conservatively assumes that repowering is undertaken. The assessment therefore assumed that the wind farm would be operational for a period up to approximately 2063.

2.1.3 National Policy Statements (NPS) provide the primary basis on which the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) is required to make its decisions. Paragraph 5.7.4 of EN-1 states that: “Applications for energy projects of 1 hectare or greater in Flood Zone 1 in England or Zone A in Wales

and all proposals for energy projects located in Flood Zones 2

and 3 should be accompanied by a flood risk assessment (FRA).” Paragraph 5.7.6 also states that: “Further guidance can be found in the Practice Guide which accompanies Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS25)”.

2.1.4 In terms of flood risk and vulnerability, the proposed onshore substation can be classified as ‘essential infrastructure’ as per Table D.2 of Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS 25): Development and Flood Risk (December 2006). This type of development is appropriate if it falls into flood risk vulnerability classification of ‘Zone 1’ or ‘Zone 2’ but requires to pass exception test if it falls into ‘Zone 3a’ and ‘Zone 3b’ according to Table D.3 of PPS25 (December 2006).

2.2 Site Location

2.2.1 Figure 1 shows the proposed location for the onshore substation. The development site is approximately 3.1 hectares in size. The site is approximately 1km inland from the Suffolk coast, in a roughly westerly direction from Sizewell.

3 ASSESSMENT OF FLOOD RISK

3.1 Introduction

3.1.1 An assessment of flood risk was made by considering information from various sources such as the Environment Agency’s flood zone map and the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) for the Suffolk region. Using terrain data1 it has been possible to assess the likelihood of flooding at the development site. This section also considers the likely impact of the development on flood risk and the safety of people during a flood event.

3.2 Environment Agency Flood Map

3.2.1 The site is not at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea according to the Environment Agency’s Flood Zone map. A copy of the Environment Agency (EA) flood map is shown in Figure 2, which shows Zones 2 and 3. This identifies the site as falling in Zone 1 defined in Table D.1 of PPS25 as Low probability of flooding (land assessed as having a less than a 0.1% annual probability of river or sea flooding in any year). As per Table D.3 of PPS25 when the site proposed is in Zone 1 and is essential infrastructure, the development is appropriate and is not subjected to the Sequential or Exception Tests.

1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) has been obtained to study the terrain of the site and its surroundings

3.3 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment

3.3.1 Suffolk Coastal and Waveney District Councils produced a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) in January 2009 in line with PPS25. Sizewell is one of the key settlements where growth is focussed.

3.3.2 Although there are several watercourses such as the River Alde and River Blyth in Suffolk and Waveney District regions, there are no major watercourses near the GWF development area. Therefore it is very unlikely that this site will flood from fluvial sources.

3.3.3 Flooding to low-lying land from the sea and tidal estuaries is caused by storm surges and high tides. This is the most likely source of flooding in Sizewell. The tidal defences near Sizewell vary in height. Using IFSAR data a long profile was obtained along the coast to assess the approximate height of defences. The elevations range from 8m AOD near the power station, 4.5m AOD near Sizewell to 12m AOD near Sizewell Hall in the south. This is illustrated in Figure 3.

3.3.4 The SFRA included extreme tide levels at Sizewell as well as predicted levels with climate change to 2107. The water levels for various annual probabilities are reproduced in Table 1.

Table 1: Maximum Sea Water Levels Extracted From SFRA Report (CC=Climate Change)

5% AEP 5% AEP CC 0.5% AEP 0.5% AEP CC 0.1% AEP 0.1% AEP CC 2.72 3.74 3.24 4.26 3.61 4.63

3.3.5 For the proposed GWF development, construction is planned to

commence in 2013 and even including a conservative assumption of repowering, would lie within the time period to 2107. Therefore the climate change allowance should be to 2045, which equates approximately to 3.92 m AOD for the 0.1% Annual probability.

3.3.6 According to the SFRA there are no records of significant groundwater flooding. The proposed finished floor level is on relatively high ground (8m AOD – 9m AOD), and previous geotechnical investigations suggest that groundwater is present at approximately 1.5m AOD. As such, it is unlikely that groundwater represents a significant issue with regard to potential flood risk.

3.4 Review of Terrain data

Introduction 3.4.1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) has been obtained to

study the terrain of the site and its surroundings. IFSAR is also known as RADAR. It has a resolution of 5m and an accuracy of +/- 1m vertically. Figure 3 shows the terrain represented by IFSAR. In addition a topographic survey of the site has been undertaken to confirm actual ground levels.

The development site 3.4.2 Figure 4 and 5 shows the varying ground levels at the development site.

The existing ground levels vary between approximately 9m AOD and 12m AOD. The finished floor level of the development is expected to vary between 8m AOD and 9mAOD.

3.4.3 The lowest point of the development is the access to the GWF site at Sizewell Gap and is approximately 7.9m AOD.

3.4.4 It can therefore be concluded that the development and access sits above the areas likely to flood even if the coastal defences are over topped and breached during a 0.1% AEP with climate change in 2107 (4.63m AOD).

4 IMPACT ON LOCAL FLOODING REGIME

4.1 General

4.1.1 Currently the site is greenfield and undeveloped. The substation comprises two compounds ( the Galloper Wind Farm compound and the transmission compound), sealing end compounds, underground cabling, a 5m wide access roads and a new landform which is designed to minimise the visual and acoustic impact of the proposed development on the surrounding area ( see Drawing GWF_348_R22 in Appendix 1:Figures). The site is currently not served by any formal surface water or foul drainage system.

4.2 Surface Water Runoff

4.2.1 The GWF substation comprises two permanent above ground installations: the GWF compound will be located on predominantly arable land (although also lying partly on acid grassland); and the transmission compound which will be located in an area that is currently woodland.

Error! Reference source not found. 9V5811/R2/303427/PBor Final Report - 5 - 18 October 2011

4.2.2 The Greenfield runoff generated by this land currently drains naturally towards the north. However, due to the proposed development, additional surface runoff will be generated from new impermeable surfaces which, as per PPS25, need to be managed efficiently to ensure that the site maintains the existing Greenfield runoff rate.

4.2.3 A Greenfield runoff calculation has been undertaken for the development. The estimated runoff volume for both compounds described above is estimated to be 554.3m3 in the 1 in 100 year with climate change scenario. Details are provided within Appendix B.

4.2.4 Appendix B comprises the Surface Water Drainage Strategy for the proposed site (Peter Brett Associates LLP) and details of the estimated runoff volume. The strategy mimics the existing drainage regime and discharges all surface water runoff generated by the development to ground via infiltrating SUDS. The strategy includes the use of dry swales along the access road, filter drains along the inside toe of the earthwork bund and soakaways within the substation.

4.3 Access and Egress

4.3.1 Given that the proposal comprises new development, consideration for human safety should be paramount.

4.3.2 Although the site is well above the peak 0.1% AEP water levels with climate change and is in Flood Zone 1, there are low lying areas which may flood during an extreme event, such as the areas further east towards Sizewell.

4.3.3 Access and egress routes are above likely flood levels and therefore access to the site can be provided via Sizewell Gap.

4.3.4 The Environment Agency currently operates flood warning schemes via their website or through the flood line on the Suffolk coast. Registering for their services can give alerts to possible flooding.

5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1.1 This report has examined flood risk at a site proposed for the GWF onshore substation and other equipment. The Environment Agency’s Flood Map shows that the site falls within Flood Zone 1 defined in Table D.1 of PPS25 as the zone of low probability of flooding. Essential infrastructure development such as the proposed substation is acceptable in this flood risk vulnerability classification (Flood Zone 1) where Sequential or Exception Tests are not required.

5.1.2 Terrain data clearly indicates that the site lies on high ground. The lowest ground level at the substation site is 8m AOD. The assessment has demonstrated that in the current and future climate change scenarios, the site is well above the 0.1% AEP extreme tide level. This means the site would not be affected by breaches in the coastal flood defence.

5.1.3 The proposed development will produce surface water runoff that can be managed through SUDS. A surface water drainage strategy has been developed for the site which will form the basis of detailed design submissions to the EA and relevant drainage authorities post consent. This will eliminate the risk of increased flooding from surface water runoff and ensure the site maintains the present day Greenfield runoff rate. Discussions with Suffolk Coastal District Council and Suffolk County Council should be undertaken regarding the long term adoption and maintenance of any new surface water features.

5.1.4 Access and egress routes are above likely flood levels and therefore safe and dry access to the site is possible via Sizewell Gap.

Introduction This technical note details the surface water and foul drainage strategies for the Galloper Wind Farm Substation site. The proposed development consists of four compounds (the Galloper Wind Farm Substation, a transmission compound and two Sealing End compounds), underground cabling, a 6m wide access road and an earthwork landform which is designed to minimise the visual and acoustic impact of the proposed development on the surrounding area. The greenfield site, which is located approximately 0.60km to the west of the village of Sizewell, Suffolk, next to a similar substation development (the Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm substation), is currently not served by any formal surface water or foul drainage networks. Surface Water Strategy The surface water drainage strategy for the development will mimic the existing drainage regime and discharge all the surface water runoff generated by the development to ground via infiltrating Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). Infiltration tests carried out for the neighbouring Great Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm substation site in accordance with BRE Digest 365 by Geotechnical Engineering Ltd have confirmed that ground conditions across the site are suitable for such techniques with the poorest calculated infiltration rate (1x10-5m/s) proposed for use within the design. The finished ground levels for the site will lie no lower than 8.0m AOD while previous geotechnical reports suggest that groundwater is present at approximately 1.5m AOD. Therefore, maintenance of a 1m unsaturated zone between the bottom of any infiltration devices and the water table can be readily achieved. Refer to Geotechnical Engineering Ltd. correspondence dated 14th May 2008 a copy of which is contained in Appendix A. Based on the information provided by Geotechnical Engineering Ltd. a surface water drainage strategy has been developed that includes the use of dry swales along the access road, filter drains along the inside toe of the earthwork landform and soakaways within the substation compounds. Dry swales consist of a vegetated conveyance channel, designed to include a filter bed of prepared soil that overlays an infiltration trench. The trench provides additional treatment and storage capacity ensuring that the swale does not become boggy during periods of wet weather. Dry swales have been proposed for use alongside the extension to the access road

to the substation compounds as they are effective at removing hydrocarbons from runoff and providing storage during larger rainfall events. Filter drains consist of an infiltration trench which incorporates a perforated pipe within its base. The pipe provides additional storage and conveyance if required. They have been proposed for the internal toe of the landform that will surround the compound as they are effective at accepting overland sheet flow and treating runoff by vegetative filtering and promoting the settlement of particulate pollutants. The main compound areas will be drained via piped networks and trapped gullies which collect the surface water runoff generated by the development’s hard standing areas and discharge it to ground via cellular soakaways. In accordance with best practice all surface water runoff generated from hard standing areas within the main compounds other than roofs will pass through a class 1 bypass separator before being discharged to ground to remove any hydrocarbon pollutants present in the runoff. While the internal layout of the substation compounds are still to be finalised, similar developments, such as the existing neighbouring Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm substation, have a level of impermeability of approximately 35-45%. These impermeable areas include the concrete maintenance road which provides access to the bunded transformer plinths and the control building. The remainder of the site (approximately 55-65%) will be made up of a gravel layer approximately 0.1m deep. In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 and Section 4.8 of the National Policy Statement for Energy (EN-1) a 20% allowance for climate change has been calculated based on the predicted life expectancy of the development and the latest UK Climate Projections as defined by Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS25). Indicative sizing of the proposed infiltration devices for the 1 in 100yr + 20% climate change allowance rainfall event has been undertaken in MicroDrainage using the calculated infiltration rate of 1x10-5m/s. In order to demonstrate that the proposed infiltration techniques can be incorporated into the proposed development layout the indicative size and location of the infiltration devices are shown on the concept drawing 25456/003/050 contained in Appendix B, with the accompanying calculations contained in Appendix C. The two Sealing End compounds, which contain no sources of pollution and will have a predominantly gravel finish, will discharge any surface water run-off generated into the gravel prior to infiltration into the ground. The final surface water drainage scheme will be subject to detailed design of the compound layouts post-consent, however there will be a legal requirement for approval of the drainage scheme by the local planning authority in conjunction with the Environment Agency. The routing of overland flow in an extreme rainfall event has also been considered in developing this surface water drainage strategy. Based on the existing drainage catchment and fall of the land surrounding the compound any overland flow generated in an extreme rainfall event will flow from south to north across the site. The proposed levels and layout of the compounds will preserve this overland flood route to the north in extreme rainfall events. However, any runoff exceeding the capacity of the drainage system would initially be stored within the voids of the gravel base, which covers the majority of the site, prior to infiltration into the ground. If the gravel layer were to become saturated, surface water would be discharged off-site to the north, through the transmission compound and into an existing woodland belt. This capture of any runoff from the substation compounds will prevent any

potential contaminants from the leaving the site and minimises the risk of them entering the Sizewell Marshes SSSI which is located approximately 100m to the north of the site. Foul Water Strategy The foul drainage system will collect all foul water generated by the development in a piped network and convey the flow towards a cesspit which will be emptied as and when required. The cesspit will be fitted with a high level alarm to alert maintenance staff when the pit requires emptying. The cesspit will attenuate all the foul water generated by the development ensuring that effluent cannot enter the ground or groundwater. Annual emptying and cleaning of the cesspit as well as regular visual inspections will be required along with servicing of the high level alarm to ensure that the cesspit continues to operate as designed. The oil filled transformers will be sited on bunded plinths, with either underground oil containment integral with the foundations or a remote oil containment tank and linking pipe work, in case of leakage or full oil discharge in emergencies. These will be drained by a pumped system which under normal operating conditions will either discharge rainfall run-off to the foul water cesspit or via a class 1 full retention separator into the surface water system, subject to detailed design and the views of the Environment Agency. Should a full discharge of the transformer oil be undertaken then sensors on the pumping apparatus will detect the presence of oil and prevent the pump from operating. The oil would then be drained down by pumping into a mobile tanker and taken off-site for disposal.
