20 Flood Risk

In order to assist with the alleviation of flood risk I would recommend the following.

Recommendation 20A - develop a target for the introduction of intensive green roofs in risk areas - most especially in terms of non domestic buildings. For maximum benefit the roofs must be INTENSIVE.

Recommendation 20B - develop a target for mandatory use of rainwater harvesting systems.

Recommendation 20 c - ban the use of non permeable paving from all developments, including those in existing properties that look to pave over their gardens,

Recommendation 20 D - further develop the use of SUDS.
