Representation Summary:

To avoid confusion and compliance with the NPPF, this bullet point should be updated to reflect criterion 13 of the Policy A6 wording. The proposals are designed to maintain Green Field run off rates and does not increase flood risk off site, taking account of climate change. It does this by utilizing high quality Sustainable Drainage features which attenuate surface water whilst providing landscape and ecological benefits. There is no NPPF requirement to reduce flows below Green Field run off rates and to do so could have unintended consequences. The bullet point should be updated to reflect the NPPF requirements.
