Respondent: Essex County Council
ECC has undertaken a high level assessment of the proposed sites identified in Figure 7.2 - Housing Land Allocations. Results for site:
Within Fooding Hotspot: BRENT-E
Within EA UFMfSW: No
Number of Properties at Risk: 1
The adopted SuDs Design Guide should be used with regards to appropriate standards for mitigation measures.
These sites fall entirely within the Brent-E flooding hotspot. 1 residential property is at risk of internal flooding in a 1:20 year event. It is strongly recommended that any development actions on this site do not exacerbate the existing risk of surface water flooding on this site and flood management infrastructure should be installed to accommodate any additional development.
