New draft floods in - 2001 - Architects' Journal 213(21) 31 May 2001, 36(1) .
Reviews the key provisions of the revised draft of PPG25 "Development and flood risk" which introduces the risk-based sequential test, directing developers and local authorities towards sites where there is a low flood risk, and makes flood risk a material consideration in determining planning applications and preparing development plans. Consultants will now be obliged to advise clients of any vulnerability of their land to flooding whilst developers will have to demonstrate an awareness of flood risk. Development in areas at risk from flooding may be dependant on the completion of flood alleviation works to the cost of which developers will be expected to contribute.
