More imagination beyond that given by RSL is very necessary.

Issue DM7: Question 31
New development can provide opportunities for the incorporation of innovative flood defences into the design of the development. This would not only afford protection to the development, but could also make better use of the riverfront areas. The TE2100 Plan provides a vision for this area where improvements to the flood risk management system provide amenity, recreation and environmental enhancement. This could also positively contribute to the Thames Gateway Parklands vision.
