Under the heading "risk mitigation" for Policy ENV3, the Council do not make any reference to updating their Strategic Flood Risk Assessment. This will be essential for the delivery of sustainable development in the district and will be required as part of the evidence base for more detailed DPDs being undertaken as part of the LDF. It is not considered adequate to rely solely on the flood maps produced by the Environment Agency and PPS25 requires LPAs to produce a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.
