I agree - but on the plan for potential development sites you have housing around Bordon Hill (SG18). We have seen increased flooding of Shottery Brook since the development north of Evesham Rd on Bordon Hill. Further development on that Hill, must surely make this worse - affecting the homes along Luddington Road and Stannells Close, where I live.
So - we need more than fine words about not building in a way that increases flood risk for others. We need better modelling.

For this reason- greenfield site development and associated loss of vegetation and increase in impermeable surfaces should be avoided.

Reducing flood risk is essential for sustainable development. New housing should always be built in the lowest flood-risk areas to protect communities from future disasters. Converting greenfield land into development increases flood risk by reducing natural drainage and increasing surface runoff. Instead, grey belt and brownfield sites should be prioritized, as they offer a safer and more sustainable alternative without damaging farmland or worsening flooding. Protecting green spaces helps manage water flow naturally, reducing the risk of future flooding and ensuring resilient, long-term development.

Development on farming or green belt land is well proven to increase the risk of flooding. I would not support anything that creates flooding as farmland & green space absorbs water - development does not in the same way.

Building anymore housing/industrial sites is going to significantly increase the levels of flooding, especially between the main road access to the area which already floods regularly. This is already a problem which is causing road damage and now very frequent water pipe damage under and around this road.

Flood risk is serious within Clopton Quarter. There has already been a huge impact with the developments on the top of Birmingham Road, with recent roadworks taking place to try and rectify flood and water drainage, with local new housing experiencing flooding. SG18 development will further exacerbate this problem. New development should be prioritised in lowest flood risk areas and on brown field sites, away from existing urban areas.

The councils should strongly enforce this as developers are all too happy to build in flood plains/areas at risk of flooding, this increasing the risk and impacts of flooding in susceptible areas such as Stratford.

Flood risk from all sources is mentioned and that flood risk assessment should be obtained, and a drainage strategy is needed. This is not necessarily part of outline planning permission and should be included before this is given and included at preapplication. . To add it after outline permission has been granted is too late.

Minimizing flood risk is crucial for sustainable development. Housing should be built in low-risk areas to protect communities from future flooding. Developing greenfield land disrupts natural drainage, increasing runoff and heightening flood risks. Instead, grey belt and brownfield sites should be prioritized, offering a safer and more sustainable option without harming farmland. Preserving green spaces helps manage water naturally, reducing the likelihood of flooding and ensuring resilient, long-term growth.

Siting new developments in areas of known flood risk is hazardous and short sighted. Destruction of green belt land by turning it into development sites will increase flood risk.

To reduce surface run off more importance should be put into increasing the levels of woodland and floodplain areas to increase biodiversity and prevent the big riverside towns from the more frequent flooding that is now the norm. Any area for development should be well away from any river or brook and no surface water from the development should enter the sewers or rivers.

Rainier have broad support for this, but we note that the data and policy context around flood risk is in a state of flux, and that policies such as this need to ensure they take the right approach to flood risk. One example is around surface water flooding and ensuring that risk is informed by site specific FRA rather than high level Flood Map for Planning and the Flood Risk from Surface Water, which the draft policy currently suggests.

Yes - new devel;opments should be built where no or the least risk of flooding is. Turning green filed areas into urban aras increases flood risk. Grey bel and brown field land should always be developed before green belt and farm land even though it may be less profitable for the developers.

Yes, but it must be enforceable. It can be envisaged that a new site for development could easily push a known surface water flooding problem onto the adjoining site – a problem that might not become apparent until a few years after completion i.e. after the developer has left the site and/or any commercial liability

The problem is that regardless of what fllod plan is laid out, developers ride rough shode over it and the planning departments are not strong enough in contering it. The evidence of this is the fact that Flood Re has had to be established in the UK market which unfortunately only has a certain life span, so i fear for the future.

Yes, it is obvious that development should occur in areas not prone to flooding, something clopton quarter of SG18 is prone too and has been made much worse due to development allowed nearby (videos of water streaming down roads etc). This does not appear to have been taken into account in the 'preferred options' consideration? Tarmac'ing farmland/greenbelt will only increase flood risk surely?

Draft policy J largely reiterates the guidance contained in the Framework and the PPG on flood risk and the sequential test. It is unnecessary in our view to repeat national policy in the Plan and it should just refer the reader directly to the Framework and PPG.
