Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy- J- Reducing Flood Risk?
Representation ID: 95303
Received: 04/03/2025
Respondent: Alamo
Agent: Harris Lamb
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.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-25- Strategic Design Principles?
Representation ID: 95306
Received: 04/03/2025
Respondent: Alamo
Agent: Harris Lamb
We support the design principles identified in draft policy Direction 25. However, it is noted that this is a “policy direction” that will be refined into a full draft policy in the pre-submission SWLP. It is, therefore, uncertain what the practical implications of the design principles will be at the present time. It is, therefore, consequently difficult to comment further on the suitability or otherwise of a strategic design policy given the lack of detail and we reserve the right to comment on this in the future at a later stage.

Representation ID: 95311
Received: 04/03/2025
Respondent: Alamo
Agent: Harris Lamb
No justification for a higher than 10% requirement. If this is to be pursued it should be viability tested.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-40 Green and Blue Infrastructure?
Representation ID: 95312
Received: 04/03/2025
Respondent: Alamo
Agent: Harris Lamb
Draft policy Direction 40 has the potential to add additional development costs that must be factored into a Viability Assessment produced with the pre-submission draft SWLP. In order for this policy to be included in the Plan, the Council must have an understanding of the impact of this.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-48- Protecting and Enhancing Landscape Character?
Representation ID: 95316
Received: 04/03/2025
Respondent: Alamo
Agent: Harris Lamb
Whether an LVIA is needed should be determined on a case by case basis and not just all major developments be required to submit one.
