ENV2: Sustainable Surface Water Drainage (vii), p372; Part (vii) of the policy should be modified to ensure existing flood flow paths are also taken into consideration. The following addition is, therefore, recommended;

‘new development should utilise opportunities to reduce the causes and impacts of all sources of flooding, ensuring flood risks are not increased elsewhere, *that existing flood flow pathways are maintained*, that flood risks associated with the construction phase of the development are managed, and that surface water run-off is managed as close to its source as possible’.

Public Health welcomes and supports the strong emphasis and priority on health and wellbeing. There is a strong Health and Wellbeing chapter which includes an overarching policy ‘HWB1: Supporting Health and Wellbeing’ and a policy requiring Health Impact Assessments, there is also a clear health and wellbeing thread throughout the plan. All of which will help to create healthy places and environments which will support healthy lifestyles and reduce health inequalities. The Local Plan reflects the advice and suggestions that Public Health has made during the development of the consultation draft. Public Health’s Healthy Places Team welcomes the strong partnership working with Rother District Council (RDC), recognition of this within the Plan and the supporting documents and further opportunities to work with RDC as the Plan progresses to adoption.
