Respondent: Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

Welcomes strategic policy to promote the use of sustainable flood alleviation. Primarily, Trust believes that a green infrastructure study will be a useful tool, with reference to the EA flood
risk maps, to identify and designate areas that can be naturally flooded to act as large scale flood attenuation areas and also optimal biodiversity habitat. Can in turn, contribute to the enhancement of both the biodiversity value and function of the watercourse and surrounding habitats. In addition, the Trust would welcome policies that detail the potential biodiversity value of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).
