Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 7916

Received: 24/09/2021

Respondent: Sharnbrook Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We note that the NPPF, Chapter 14, focuses on plans taking flood risk into account, and whilst we acknowledge BBC has taken this into account when conducting its SHELAA evaluations, it must be constantly at the forefront of all applications to avoid the issues that have been experienced locally in recent times. Mitigating flood risk must be a high priority for any development proposals in the Borough Council area in this period of significant Climate Change.
