520 _aResponding to the 2000 floods, and the Environment Agency's criticism of the first round of consultation, on 8 February government released a revised consultation paper: 'PPG25: Development and Flood Risk'. Considers the new planning policy guidance note, and details its broad aims. Discusses three of the most significant changes to the draft PPG: the introduction of a new, prescriptive sequential test; encouragement of urban regeneration, including mixed-use schemes and sustainable drainage systems; increased contributions from developers. For instance, developers will be expected to contribute towards any flood-defence works. Suggests PPG25 could set a precedent for dealing with the impact of climatic change.
