Relevant Policy - Local Plan F1. 12 The garage and outbuildings shall include openings extending from the ground level up to the 1% annual probability flood level plus 300mm allowance for climate change and extend along 20% of each building side or every 5 metres (whichever greatest); each opening to be at least 1 metre wide.

This is contrary to government policy in Planning Policy Statement 1 and Planning Policy Statement 9 and to the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Land alongside watercourses is particularly valuable for wildlife and it is essential this is protected. Article 10 of the Habitats Directive also stresses the importance of natural networks of linked corridors to allow movement of species between suitable habitats, and promote the expansion of biodiversity. Such networks may also help wildlife adapt to climate change. 14 Prior to the commencement of any works of demolition or construction a management plan showing how demolition and construction traffic, (including cranes), materials storage, facilities for operatives and vehicle parking and manoeuvring will be accommodated during the works period shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
