Representation Summary:

Paragraph 116 - With regards to surface water management, we wish to remind you that, whether or not the receiving water body is a main river, the Environment Agency is no longer the statutory consultee in the planning process. All surface water management scheme proposals and their associated discharge rates must therefore be approved by Southend Borough Council in its role as Lead Local Flood Authority.

We consider that further clarity could be provided within this policy. Our suggested changes are as follows
1 a. Will be accompanied by a flood risk assessment that considers all sources of flooding.
1 c. i. For more vulnerable uses, the floor levels of habitable rooms will be above the design flood level, with an allowance for climate change. Within Flood Zone 3 the floor level must be situated above the design flood level with climate change, incorporating an allowance of at least 300mm for freeboard.
(This is to ensure it is clear that floors must be set above the 1 in 200 annual probability event level plus climate change).
