The watercourse to the west of the proposed site has an associated flood plain. There may be approximately 10% of the site lying within flood zone 3 and therefore restricts the amount of developable land. A significant detailed hydraulic modelling will be required for a level 2 standard FRA to be undertaken.
Any design of this proposal should ensure that there is no inappropriate development in the flood plain and ensure there is sufficient easement adjacent to the watercourse. We would also seek enhancements to the water course corridor where possible
