FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST – 127/18

Dear Sir/Madam

Your request for information has now been considered and the information requested is provided below.

Request:

I would be grateful if you could provide the following information:

1. How many times in each of the last five years did the authority consult the Environment Agency regarding a planning application for a development considered to be in a flood risk area?

Answer: 58

The attached table shows the applications where the Environment Agency were consulted over the past 5 years, and whether they objected to a proposal.

2. How many times in each the last five years did the Environment Agency, when consulted, object to a development proposed in a flood risk area? And how many times approve?

Answer: The Environment Agency objected once, on application number 2015/0320/FUL, for a footbridge across the River Gwash. The reason for the objection related to lack of detailed levels. The applicant provided an updated plan which resolved the issue, and the Environment Agency withdrew their objection. A Flood Defence Consent was issued by the Environment Agency, and the planning application was approved on 09/07/2015. There were no approvals as the Environment Agency does not approve applications, it simply does not object.

3. How many times in each of the last five years did a development proceed after the Environment Agency had raised objections about potential flood risk?

Answer: None, as the above objection for application 2015/0320/FUL was withdrawn following the submission of further details/plans

4. Please provide the planning application numbers of any developments that went ahead despite an objection from the Environment Agency concerning flood risk.

Answer: Not applicable – see points 2 and 3.

It is preferred that a year is considered to be a calendar year, with the last five years being 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. The financial year is acceptable if calendar year is not possible. Response:
