The JBA model results show that the whole of the 3.84ha site is located

"The EA have confirmed that a large flood alleviation scheme at St. Aidens, upstream of Castleford, is due to come on line soon. It is understood, from discussions with the EA, that this flood alleviation scheme would significantly reduce flood risk within Castleford."
