WCC as the Lead Flood Authority will continue to work with the Local Plan Team throughout the development of this policy.

WCC Ecology supports the approach a laid out, however, it is not clear in the approach what compensation (if any) will be required should a development not meet the policy requirements. WCC Ecology would like the policy to include a porous surface metric to be included in the policy. A simple metric that calculates the current and future permeable surface values based on the CIRIA methodology and where there is a residual loss compensation is required. Reason: to ensure aquifer recharge is not impacted upon through development.
