NP/SUSTDEV 02 – MANAGEMENT OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT

Development proposals for residential or non-residential development within the areas shown within Flood Zones 2 and 3 as shown on the Environment Agency’s Flood Maps will not be supported apart from the one for one replacement of houses and extensions to existing houses up to the limit allowable under the permitted development rights granted by Parts A and E of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning ( General Permitted Development Order) 2015 or such secondary legislation that replaces it.

The design and construction of new buildings should have regard to national flood resilience guidance and other relevant policies in the development plan. Additionally, action should be taken where appropriate to improve and reduce the overall flood risk.
