Representation Summary:

Note the amended completion date of 2018. Crest considers that it is essential that sites with less flood risk are allowed to come forward ahead of sites within zones 2/3. The Council is 'reasonably certain' that the funding for the final phase of the flood defences will be forthcoming. Crest strongly considers that until there is greater certainty on this matter and the timing of its delivery, sites dependent on the barrier for safe residential development should not be relied upon in the Council's spatial strategy. Thus the early development of the Northern Fringe becomes even more critical.
