Site in Flood Zone 1 ONLY
Mitigation should be set above the 1 in 100 plus cc level for the site as suitable for the proposed vulnerability classification (EA standing advice should cover this).
If the site is considered Greenfield then surface water discharge rates post development should be restricted to the pre development Greenfield discharge rate. If the site is considered Brownfield then there should be a 30% reduction in surface water discharges, or restricted to Greenfield rates, there should be no increase in brownfield surface water discharge rates post development. So as to support prevention of cumulative increases to flood risk and should be in line with SuDs design principles.
For developments near ordinary watercourses we would recommend an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts, to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. A Flood Defence Consent may be required for the LLFA for works in/affecting an ordinary watercourse.
For main rivers, we generally require an 8 metre easement strip along the length of the riverbank to be kept clear of permanent structures such as buildings, or a 45degree angle from the bed in the case of culverts. This is to maintain access to the riverbank for any improvements or maintenance. Environmental Flood Risk Activity Permits may be required for development near rivers.
It is possible the sites within close proximity to Flood Zones 3b, 3 and 2 may be subject to future risk identified within the SFRA (to follow) which may affect its allocation or how development should be sequentially laid out on the site.
Consideration must be made to making space for water and providing betterment in terms of flood risk management where ever possible.

See attachment for full representation.
In order to demonstrate that the allocation of this area is not incompatible with the requirements of the NPPF, as part of the Evidence Base underpinning the Plan there needs to be an assessment of what contribution this currently-undeveloped area makes to those elements which contribute to the significance of these heritage assets and what effect the loss of this site and its
subsequent development might have upon their significance.
Before allocating this site for development:
(1) An assessment needs to be undertaken of the contribution which this site makes to those elements which contribute towards the significance of the Registered Buildings and Listed Buildings in its
vicinity, and what impact the loss of this undeveloped site and its subsequent development might have upon their
significance.
(2) If it is considered that the development of this site would harm elements which contribute to the significance of the Registered Buildings and Listed Buildings,
then the measures by which that harm might be removed or reduced need to be effectively tied into the Plan.
(3) If, at the end of the process, it is concluded that the development would still be likely to harm elements which
contribute to the significance of the Registered Buildings and any of these Listed Buildings, then this site should not be allocated unless there are clear public benefits that outweigh the harm (as is required by NPPF, Paragraph 195 or 196).

Respondent: Leeds City Council
The proposed allocations around the Holmewood area, encroaching into the green belt to the south of Tyersal and to the west of Drighlington, raises concerns.
Firstly, concerning the general encroachment and reduction of the strategic green belt gap between Leeds and Bradford; secondly the significant amount of green belt land that is required for release for 5 proposed housing sites for 1,447 new homes. The sites are SE45, 31, 13, 18/H and SE46, 47, 48/H and non-green belt site SE19/H and thirdly the overall impact of these sites and significant housing numbers on infrastructure provision in Leeds.
In setting exceptional circumstances for the release of these sites Leeds City Council would wish to see justification that all other options have been exhausted for housing in other locations within the settlement hierarchy.
It is also understood that Bradford City Council’s position is that the highway improvements as shown on the interactive map for Wakefield and Tong Road are sufficient to support the number of houses proposed. We wish to reserve our position on this until further evidence / information is provided through further consultation and duty to cooperate discussions.
