In principal, I support this policy however for clarification and consistency with reference to Policy HS5, perhaps further bullet point around sport can be added:
i) Any building proposed in conjunction with watersports, should be designed to accommodate the flooding of the area, and any required social/meeting space should be located above the flood level.

Centaur Homes support that development should be directed away from areas at
flood risk. However, a large amount of the policy is superfluous as it repeats national policy from the Framework and does not need to be duplicated.

We are very concerned about Point f "the site is not required for washland creation as part of overall flood defence strategy for river catchments" and the section that says "land that is required for current and future flood management will be safeguarded from development". We can find no justification or explanation for this policy within the plan.
We would like more information on the definition of 'washland' as a concept.
We would like more information on the definition of 'washland' as a concept. In flood risk management 'washland' is defined both as:
* an area of the floodplain that is allowed to flood or
* where it is deliberately flooded by a river or stream for flood management purposes.
Washland usually refers to an area which is deliberately flooded to protect people property elsewhere and that this requires a project to control the storage of water and its inflow and outflow into that storage area. This would usually be via an agreement with the landowner or if the land was owned by the local authority. We would assume that this policy would require land to be clearly earmarked for a deliberately engineered flood storage scheme rather than more general designation of the floodplain.
