Flood Risk Management
The policy approach taken is supported, subject to the following comments:
Para 10.65-replace "is likely to be" with "will be"
Para 10.66-replace "Where relevant" with "Wherever possible"
New Para-introduce new text which sets out the policy objective of "daylighting" culverts as part of the development process in order to manage flood risk - this aligns with the objectives of the East Sussex Local Flood Risk Management Strategy.
Policy DEN5 is supported but an additional criterion is requested which identifies the need to manage the flood risk impacts of the construction phase of development on the sub catchment.
