E3 Residual Flood Risk

In addition to the measures within policy E2, development within those areas protected by flood defences but with a high residual risk classification - as indicated on Figure 8 below - should implement risk reduction measures with the primary aim of reducing risk to life.

Applicants, as part of their flood risk assessment must provide details of indicative breach flood water levels, ground levels, ground, first and second floor levels in metres AOD, and show the floor level for bedrooms and safe refuges, providing justification for the options chosen.

Applicants must also provide a flood plan, detailing evacuation and flood response procedures.
