Such small pockets of green open space should be maintained and improved for the sake of people’s health and well-being.

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.

Use of green sites (SH2, 3,4,5,6,7,11,12)or development is not sustainable (there are plenty of brown sites that must be used first in line with CBMDC policy) and leads to loss of habitat and connectivity regardless of the quality (this can be enhanced!). There is a health and wellbeing impact from removal of green spaces from a community however informal they are, people of Shipley cannot afford to lose these areas. Sites SH 4,5 and 6 are not near train stations and will inevitably increase car use on already congested, polluted roads. In these areas there is already surface water flooding and development will increase these issues. SH3 is a community asset for children to play and families meet, where there is very little other greenspace for children. In addition it provides walking routes that avoid the heavy polluted pavements. It is a breathing space in this urban area.
