DM21 - Car and Cycle Parking in New Development includes reference to flood risk in paragraph 9.21.6 by stating that this is acceptable in flood risk terms as demonstrated through a Flood Risk Assessment. When considering car parking within flood risk areas, the ability of people to move their cars within the flood warning time should be considered. Long-term and residential car parking is unlikely to be acceptable on areas which regularly flood to a significant depth due to the risk of car owners being away from the area and being unable to move their cars when a flood occurs.
