Report of the Head of Locality Services - Commissioned

Minutes:

 

The Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Locality Services Commissioned that sought approval to use the Sustainable Drainage & Flood Risk Information Note and the Flood Risk Pro Forma to support Development Management, which relate to the implementation of Local Plan Policy EQ8 ‘Flood risk and surface water’.

 

Decision Made: Cabinet agreed to:

 

(1)          approve the Sustainable Drainage Systems and Flood Risk Information Note for Development Management purposes; and

 

(2)   approve the Flood Risk Pro Forma for Development Management   purposes

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

To provide clarity of requirements and the expectations of the Local Planning Authority in Sefton to developers with regard to Sustainable Drainage Systems and flood risk requirements, whilst improving the efficiency of the service provided to support development management.

 

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

 

Not to develop these supplementary methods to support the Council in assessing planning applications in relation to sustainable drainage and flooding would have kept a process with a number of inefficiencies.
