We are pleased that paragraph 8.41 refers to UKCP18.
Paragraph 8.44 refers to buildings at risk of flooding through tidal surges and heavy rain. However, this paragraph does not specifically refer to fluvial flood risk. We therefore would require this to be updated accordingly.
Paragraph 8.45 refers to the SFRA. The SFRA is a living document and should be updated when new modelling becomes available.

Our main comments that need to be actioned relating to the SFRA can be found within our response to policy DM4 - Flood Risk.
