LNPEN3: Flooding
Development in Lovelace will be supported where consideration is given to avoiding current areas of flood risk in Lovelace and minimising the impact of any new development in respect of flooding.
Developers must, where applicable:
- Provide a surface water management plan for major developments
- Provide mitigation measures prior to occupation to avoid adverse impacts of surface water, water pollution and flood risk. This includes new areas of hardstanding greater than 250 sqm.
- Design all flood prevention measures to avoid adverse impacts on the TBHSPA.
- Maximise the use of soft landscaping and permeable surfacing materials to increase absorption capacity.
- Incorporate Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in major developments in locations affected by flood risk.
