We would comment that in seeking to resist inappropriate development in flood zones, the locational requirements of canals as non-footloose assets (ie their location and alignment are fixed) means that the options for the location of associated facilities and development is limited, and this should be taken into account when balancing wider benefits of waterway-related development against flood risk considerations.
We would support the incorporation of sustainable drainage systems to manage surface water discharges, but this should be linked to robust provisions for their long-term management and maintenance.

Respondent: Canal & River Trust
Within Warwick District there are nearly 40km of the Grand Union, North Stratford and South Stratford Canals which are managed by the Canal & River Trust. These inland waterways are of historic interest and importance, passing through a number of conservation areas within the District and representing important features within the landscape. The Trust therefore considers that they significant features worthy of inclusion on Map 1 along with the Main Rivers already identified on the map
