developed, however the agents confirm that due to this only being a
small area of land they can design the scheme to ensure that the built
form does not fall within this zone and this can be utilised as garden/
amenity space and this could be secured by condition.
2.14.8 The NPPF states that Flood Risk Assessments are required on sites
comprising one hectare or above to establish vulnerability to flooding
from other sources as well as river and sea flooding and the potential
to increase flood risk elsewhere through the addition of hard surfaces
and the effect of the new development on surface water run-off.
2.14.9 As part of the application, alongside Section 9 of the Environmental
Statement, the applicants have provided a Flood Risk Assessment
(FRA) in line with the NPPF which considers the sources of flooding,
impact from climate change, flood mitigation, sustainable drainage,
existing surface water run off, proposed surface water drainage and
foul drainage. The report also considers the cumulative effects and
sets out appropriate mitigation measures.
2.14.10 In commenting on the application the Environment Agency have
raised no objections subject to the measures in the Flood Risk
Assessment being implemented and secured by condition.
2.14.11 Having taken into account the impact on flooding as set out above it is
considered that the proposals demonstrate that the development would
be appropriately flood resilient and resistant, residual flood risk can be
safely managed and demonstrates that flood risk elsewhere should not
be increased by the proposals. The proposals are therefore
considered acceptable in terms of flood risk in accordance with Policy
SH/1B of the Selby District Local Plan, Policy ENV1 of the RSS and the
requirements of the NPPF.
Drainage
2.14.12 Policy ENV1 of the Local Plan outlines that in considering proposals
the District Council will take account of:
3) The capacity of local services and infrastructure to serve the
proposal, or the arrangements to be made for upgrading, or
providing services and infrastructure;
2.14.13 At the site specific level, SHB/1B states that proposals must make
provision for:
4) A surface water drainage scheme.
5) Reinforcement of the water supply main from South Milford
pumping station.
2.14.14 In terms of drainage the “Approved Development Brief” for the wider
site from 2003, notes that surface water should drain to the on-site
