Representation Summary:

Flooding assessments and extensive consultation undertaken with Environment Agency and emergency services. Feedback positive and carried to EA requirements. No fundamental objections. Concerns of consultees can be met. Site partly within flood zone 1, development can be made safe for its lifetime, refuges can be available on-site, flood evacuation routes can be facilitated to Bourne Park and compensatory storage designed in. Whilst approach routes could be inundated this hasn't been raised as a fundamental objection by AECOM or Fire Service. As occupants would be safe then considerable weight should be given to the tilted balance in favour of development (NPPF).

Change suggested by respondent:

Site IP034 should be included as an allocation under Policy SP2 of the Site Allocations DPD of the emerging Local Plan.
