About this subsection
The subsection starts at the drain from Long Brook near Minsterworth and ends at Haw Bridge near Apperley, to the upstream extent of Severn Estuary.
The City of Gloucester lies within this subsection of the SMP, which includes rail and road links, residential and business property, and electricity and water treatment infrastructure wholly or partially in the floodplain. These assets are important drivers for investment in flood risk management in this otherwise largely rural subsection of the SMP. Local roads, isolated properties and parts of the villages in the area are also at flood risk. Much of the land use is agriculture on gently rising ground or historically land claimed from low-lying marshes of the Severn’s floodplain.
