Respondent: Environment Agency
We support the concept statement acknowledging:
- That approximately 3.1ha of the site is within Flood Zone 2 and 3 and that this land should be set aside for public open space. We strongly support this which would address the NPPF requirement for a sequential approach to be applied. A Flood Risk Assessment should support any future planning application to ensure all areas of Flood Zone are correctly identified. You may consider it useful to add this requirement to the policy as a minor amendment;
- SuDS need to be provided and a drainage strategy submitted
