By 2017 - the fourth bullet point states that strategically located and planned developments are predominately situated within areas least at risk from flooding
PPS25 advises that the key aim of managing risk would seek to only permit development in areas of flood risk when there are no reasonable available sites in areas of lower flood risk.
The sequential test should be used to demonstrate that the land developed is the lowest possible risk and the exception test should only be used when it has been demonstrated that there are no available sites available on sites in lower risk areas.
The Core Strategy advises that there are available sites in lower risk areas, therefore, this proposal would be contrary to PPS25.
