There should be mention of the potential for contamination of railway land areas. We note that 2.32 refers to Ham Brook. Ham Brook has reaches which are designated as a main river, with other reaches designated as an ordinary watercourse. Therefore, a developer would need to obtain permits or consents from either the Lead Local Flood Authority or the Environment Agency if any works were taking place near the Ham Brook. A 50-metre undeveloped buffer is a good requirement to put in place as this provides multiple benefits for biodiversity and water quality, especially given that this a chalk stream. Detailed assessment of flood risk from all sources will be required, especially if access options in relation to the A259 may be impacted by future tidal flood risk. At the time of any planning application, the Local Planning Authority’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment must be examined and up-to-date data obtained to inform any flood risk assessment.
