Thank you for consulting the Environment Agency on the above documents, details of which were received on 18 September 2012.
We have considered the proposed modifications in relation to sites which have small areas within Flood Zones 2 or 3a to confirm that inappropriate development will not be permitted within these areas. We have met with the council to discuss these sites and the sequential approach to managing flood risk and the proposed modifications reflect our recommendations from the meeting. As such, we have no objection to the proposed modifications.
