Some of the proposed sites are situated within Flood Zones 2 and 3. The Council will need to provide evidence that demonstrates the sequential test has been carried out in relation to the proposed proposed site allocations: IP004; IP011b; IP015; IP031; IP037; IP039a; IP043; IP096; IP098; and IP136. A standalone Sequential Test report should be presented in support of the plan to ensure compliance with the NPPF. Planning applications in Flood Zones 2 & 3 will also need to be supported with a Flood Risk Assessment. Developments on river frontage sites should enhance the appearance of the site.
