Rochford District Core Strategy Regulation 26 Draft

Representation ID: 88

Received: 13/06/2007

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

We feel that the document should specifically refer to flood risk locally, which is a key issue for the district. Reference to the Thames Gateway South Essex Strategic Flood Risk Assessment should be made within this section. This document is available to view online at http://floodrisk.tgessex.co.uk/general/index.asp Reference should also be made to the role that it will have in influencing development locations and the types of flood mitigation required across the district should be outlined.
