Paragraph 15 Flood risk assessmentI1

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), the authorised development must be carried out in accordance with the flood risk assessment, including the mitigation measures detailed in it, so that no part of the authorised development is predicted to result in any exceedance of the flood levels to properties and land shown in the flood risk assessment.

Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in any circumstance where the undertaker proposes to carry out a part of the authorised development otherwise than in accordance with the flood risk assessment and either demonstrates to the Environment Agency’s satisfaction that the part of the authorised development concerned would not result in an exceedance of the flood levels shown in the flood risk assessment or demonstrates that all affected landowners accept the predicted exceedance of the flood levels shown in the flood risk assessment.
