London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 4873

Received: 05/03/2009

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

Policy MRO1
Parts of this area fall within Flood Zones 2 & 3. We would make representations stating that the plan is unsound if evidence of the sequential test of PPS25 has not been provided to support the allocation of land within the Northern MRO area.

If this evidence can be provided that the sequential test has been applied, then the policy should be improved to include the need for all applications to include flood risk mitigation measures to be incorporated into the design.
