It is acknowledged that residential mobile homes provide a valuable source of affordable housing, however these types of dwellings are also classed as 'highly vulnerable' in PPS25. Therefore unlike conventional housing residential mobile homes will not be permitted in Flood Zones 3a or 3b, regardless of the Sequential and Exception Test or Flood Zone 2 where the Sequential and Exception Tests cannot be demonstrated. Recommendation 9:
Paragraph 10.22 on page 90 should refer to the high vulnerability of residential mobile homes in areas at risk of flooding.
