This report sets out the findings of an investigation that was undertaken into the feasibility of implementing the detention basin scheme that forms part of the Sutton Floodplain Risk Management Plan , as well as five other alternative schemes which are aimed at maximising the flood mitigation benefits to the affected community while taking account of existing constraints.

This report also provides details in the form of a concept design of an alternative piped drainage scheme that was found to provide greater flood mitigation benefits and have less impact on the community than the Detention Basins Scheme that was proposed as part of the Sutton Floodplain Risk Management Plan.
