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

Representation ID: 25946

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 9.4.10 states that "FRAs for proposals in Zones 2 and 3 need to clearly state the frequency of flooding in and around the site and, until the EA's flood defence barrier is implemented, will need to assume existing defences are in place". This sentence is now no longer fully applicable as the tidal barrier is now complete and operational and should be updated accordingly. The paragraph should also consider residual risk.
