Preferred Options Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (DPD) Review

Representation ID: 25945

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

We are pleased to see that paragraph 9.4.9 requires the production of site specific FRAs to include detailed flood modelling to ascertain flood risk. However, the paragraph also refers to the SFRA. As previously stated, you may wish to update your SFRA because there is new ENS (Essex Norfolk and Suffolk) Coastal Modelling 2018, to which site specific Flood Risk Assessments would have to refer to in line with paragraph 160 of the NPPF.
