Respondent: Environment Agency

Development sites:

We note that numerous development sites have been included within the Local Plan for further future development and that the DRAFT Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) is to be consulted on and included at a later date.

We would wish to be included in this consultation to identify sites that may require further attention in the future.

It is important that a sequential test, based on the SFRA and assessing all forms of flooding is undertaken and that the functional floodplain is identified to avoid allocating sites in areas where development should not be permitted.
