Re; policy wording: Elsewhere, new development should be set back at least 8m from fluvial watercourses and 16 m from tidal watercourses to allow easy access for maintenance and repair.
SWT would support an increased set back from fluvial water course of 10 meters to support opportunities for biodiversity. Further increases to the setback for tidal water course of 25 meters, would be encouraged to bring it in line with the aspirations of Policy NE 12 Development around the coast.
