Low Leven is a hamlet within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England, and is located at the bottom of Leven Bank towards the mouth of the River Leven.
Until 2007, Low Leven was dominated by the ruin of the Cross Keys public house and three former dwellings which were abandoned due to persistent flooding. Large parts of these buildings had collapsed.
Regeneration
In mid-February 2007 work was started on the reconstruction of the ruins of the Hamlet, and construction of nine 5/6 bedroom houses by Yorvik Homes. Work on the development - called Bridgewater Manor - continued through the summer of 2007 with the demolition of Mill House. Leven House, The Cross Keys, and Mill Cottage were retained and now form a single property called Pool House. As of January 2009 six of the properties are completed as well as the renovation of Pool House which is now occupied. Development of the remaining three properties is currently stalled.
The new development has been built on an area that the Environment Agency describes as having a greater than 1 in 75 risk of flooding in their 2005 national flood risk assessment.[1]
