Proposal

Proposed Flood Risk Management Strategy, will protect up to 251 properties from flooding, by raising the existing railway embankment over a length of 800m of the right bank of the River Lugg Bypass Channel from SO 49232 59963 (B4361, Bridge Street) to SO 49998 59710 (Railway Bridge). Approximately 100m of the embankment will be retained by a concrete flood wall to account for the constrained widthof the river bank. A flood wall up to 20m in length, will tie-in the raised defences to the Network Rail Bridge.
