Consultee Response to be included within Committee Report
Environment Agency – 11th December 2017
The proposed development will only meet the requirements of the National Planning
Policy Framework if the following measure(s) as detailed in the Flood Risk Assessment submitted with this application are implemented and secured by way of a planning condition on any planning permission. Furthermore, the development must also provide a means of unobstructed access to the first floor of the building.
The applicant should demonstrate that this is achievable prior to determination of the application.
Reason
The building lies within an area at risk of flooding from the Cottey Brook. Indications are that potential depths of water in an extreme flood event would be shallow. Despite this we consider it important that access to the first floor is made available given the ground floor nature of the proposal and that flood mitigation measures are installed during refurbishment.
(ii) No 5 on the Plans List (17/01792/LBC – Listed Building Consent to replace two windows with patio door on west elevation and creation of cupboard and shower room on first floor – Old Bartows, Bartows Causeway, Tiverton.) be approved subject to conditions as recommended by the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration.
