The LLFA notes there is a significant area of high to low surface water flood risk on this proposed site in the east and north of the site that covers about a fifth of the proposed development area. The surface water flood risk area shows that approximately two thirds of the flood risk area is at medium to high (up to a 1% AEP event) risk of surface water flooding. This area would not be suitable for the development of properties or surface water infrastructure. The amount of properties viable on this site would need to be reassessed based on the area of surface water flood risk being excluded from development. This approach is in keeping with the Inspector’s comments provided in relation to SPO1REV Land West of Bunwell Road, Spooner Row.

Surface water flood risk is noted principally along the site boundary with the Norwich Road and Poppy Lane. The applicant would need to ensure that safe access and egress to the proposed development is possible.

It may be tight to get suitable surface water attenuation on site to balance the additional 10 dwellings. Further requirements for the developer to provide an enhanced surface water management offering to prevent an increase in flood risk elsewhere would be appropriate to include in the policy text associated with the site allocation.

There is a significant amount of surface water flood risk in the north-western corner of the site and along the roads to the north and west of the site. The applicant would need to ensure that safe access and egress to the proposed development is possible. It may be tight to get suitable surface water attenuation on site to balance the additional 15 dwellings. Further requirements for the developer to provide an enhanced surface water management offering to prevent an increase in flood risk elsewhere would be appropriate to include in the policy text associated with the site allocation.

There are areas of surface water flood risk and existing ponds on the site that will need to be carefully accommodated within any proposed design. It may be tight to get suitable surface water attenuation on site to balance the additional 10 dwellings. Further requirements for the developer to provide an enhanced surface water management offering to prevent an increase in flood risk elsewhere would be appropriate to include in the policy text associated with the site allocation.

No surface water flood risk shown on the site. Care should be taken to accommodate the additional 5 properties within the proposed design to balance the surface water runoff with the associated attenuation needs. It would be appropriate to include further requirements for the developer to provide an enhanced surface water management offering to prevent an increase in flood risk elsewhere would be appropriate to include in the policy text associated with the site allocation.
