The emerging Brentwood Surface Water Management Plan does not appear to be referenced in the Local Plan (other than forthcoming evidence) as being considered in the determination of any spatial strategy. The emerging draft, highlights a number of areas to be at a higher risk than others to surface water flooding, namely West Horndon, Ingatestone and Brentwood Town Centre. Such areas should not be precluded from development but will lead to additional work to identify appropriate mitigation and amelioration work.
ECC welcome the opportunity to provide advice should any sites in the borough come forward where there may be opportunities to alleviate existing flooding.
