Paragraph 11 Flood risk mitigation

No stage of the authorised development must commence until for that stage a scheme for mitigation of flood risk during construction has, after consultation with the Environment Agency and relevant internal drainage board, been submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority.

Details of the permanent flood risk mitigation works, including a programme for their implementation must, after consultation with the Environment Agency and relevant internal drainage board, be submitted to and approved in writing by the relevant planning authority prior to the start of construction of any part of those works.

The details submitted and approved pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) of this requirement must be in accordance with the principles set out in the flood risk assessment that forms part of the environmental statement.

The schemes must be implemented as approved and maintained throughout the construction and operation of the authorised development unless otherwise agreed with the relevant local planning authority.
