Policy DM21 - Car and Cycle Parking in New Development -Car parking can be appropriate in areas subject to flooding, provided that flood warnings are available and signs are in place however, ideally car parks should not be subject to flood depth in excess of 300mm since vehicles can be moved by water of this depth. Boundary treatments such as railings should ensure that if vehicles become mobilised during a flood event, they are contained within the confines of the site but still allow the free movement of flood water.
