Where there is risk of flooding new developments should not be considered. Building on farmland and in the green belt only increases flood risk. This has already been witnessed in nearby new housing estates built off the Birmingham Road.

New development should be prioritised in areas of lowest flood risk. Turning green spaces into urban areas increases flood risk, greybelt/brown field land should be prioritised over greenfield and farmland for development

Draft Policy J largely reiterates the guidance contained in the NPPF and PPG on Flood Risk and the Sequential Test. It is unnecessary to repeat national policy in the SWLP. The SWLP should simply direct the reader to the NPPF and PPG which is likely to be updated during the course of the plan period.

Draft Policy J – Reducing Flood Risk aligns with the NPPF 2024, promoting a sequential approach to direct development away from high-risk flood zones. At site C1, development is largely located in Flood Zone 1 with some areas with a higher risk of surface water flooding, whereby higher-risk areas would likely be designated for open spaces and water management features, in line with the policy. The proposals would seek to incorporate Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to manage surface water runoff, ensuring flood risk is mitigated and the development remains sustainable and resilient.

I agree that avoiding flood risk is important and so the protection of green belt and farmland is essential to support this. We already have significant issues caused by the loss of front gardens for off road parking and so building over the remaining green belt around Stratford will exacerbate this.

Taylor Wimpey largely has no concerns with the policy. However, reference to new development being required to “seek opportunities for river restoration and enhancement, e.g. de-culverting, removing structures and reinstating a natural, sinuous river channel” should be clarified, particularly in respect of the detail required to demonstrate that this has been explored by a proposed development. In addition, given the potential cost associated with these activities, reference should be made in the policy that this will be subject to viability.

In line with NPPF policies on flood risk management (Paragraphs 159-169), Bishop’s Tachbrook’s flood resilience must be strengthened by designating the green buffer along the Tach Brook’s south bank to the Croft Close housing line as part of the Tachbrook Country Park. This would provide natural flood mitigation, safeguarding homes and infrastructure. Oakley Meadow’s entrance road is poorly designed and frequently floods, making it inaccessible by car, highlighting the need for sustainable drainage solutions.

Similarly, Norton Lindsey’s recurrent flooding severely impacts accessibility and must be fully addressed in the SWLP to ensure climate resilience and safe access for residents.

Hill Residential agree with this policy, subject to comments.

It is largely consistent with the NPPF.

The classification ‘future flood management’ should be defined by the policy. It is important early engagement with the LLFA and EA confirms if any land within a site has been identified as being required for future flood management, otherwise this could become a significant constraint later on in the process.

The policies set out for development in flood risk areas do not adequately address the issue of flood risk taking into account the increased frequency of 1:100 etc events. A more stringent measure should be adopted and finished floor levels should be at least 800mm above the annual probability and appropriate mitigation such as provision for flood barriers, permeable surfacing, back draft valves etc put in place.

I support the statement all new development should not detrimentally impact on existing and planned flood risk management schemes.

The University are supportive of the themes of this policy. However, would suggest that the wording of the policy is amended to reflect that fact that it will not be appropriate for all new development to seek opportunities for river restoration and enhancement. This part of the policy should only apply to those development in close proximity or having a direct impact on a river.
