Paragraph 14 Water resources and flood risk assessmentF1I1

Prior to commencement of construction, the undertaker is required to carry out an assessment of the latest version of the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Data published by the Environment Agency to determine whether it changes the level of risk assessed within the flood risk assessment (Environmental Statement Appendix 20.1, as listed in Schedule 9 to, and certified under article 50 of, this Order).

The undertaker must consult with the Environment Agency and the lead local flood authority on whether an updated flood risk assessment is required as a result of the assessment carried out under sub-paragraph (1).

If any material change in risk is identified as a result of the process undertaken under sub-paragraphs (1) and (2), then the undertaker must prepare an updated flood risk assessment, which must be submitted to and approved in writing by Luton Borough Council, following consultation with the Environment Agency and the lead local flood authority.

The undertaker is required to carry out the authorised development in accordance with any updated flood risk assessment produced by the undertaker as a result of the process under sub-paragraphs (1) to (3).
