Wixam Park

Case Studies / Wixam Park

Brookbanks was approached due to a significant flooding issue affecting a residential parcel and a school site at Wixam Park. The initial flood mapping from the Environment Agency (EA) indicated that these areas were at risk, and a consultant for the potential purchaser suggested that no viable solution existed.

Our Role

  • Review and Analysis: We reviewed the EA flood mapping and identified the mechanisms causing localized flooding.
  • Solution Development: Proposed land level alterations and the use of storage crates to mitigate flooding.
  • Implementation: Created revised mapping showing the improved flood management.

The Outcome

  • Successfully mitigated the flooding risk without needing a Section 73 masterplan alteration.
  • Emma was highly satisfied with the innovative and effective solution provided by our team.
