This policy should take into account the latest climate change allowances are available on the following website: https:// www.gov.uk/guidance/flood-risk-assessments-climate- change-allowances. Please note the guidance has recently been updated to give more local climate change figures.

This policy should reference the latest Strategic Flood Risk Assessment to take account updates to this assessment to ensure that developments are using the latest assessments of flood risk in the area.

We strongly support a catchment approach to flood risk and water management and the promotion of Nature Based Solutions to provide wider environmental and community benefits both on site, off site and on a strategic level.
