Issue DM7: Question 29
We are in general agreement with the approach set out in this suggested option. It should be noted that, under part 1, sustaining the current level of flood risk into the future does not necessarily mean that defences will be (or are able to be) raised. Effective floodplain management is therefore likely to play a major role into the future - this includes effective development control, for example applying the principles of PPS25 including the Sequential Test and the Exception Test, and also effective emergency planning.
