• The sequential approach should be applied, and highly vulnerable elements of the site should be located in Flood Zone C, or raised/bunded/protected;
• Flood Zone A/B would principally be suitable for water compatible use only;
• FRA should address climate change scenarios in relation to FFLs and potential mitigation measures;
• Proposals should not impede existing flow paths or cause flood risk impacts to the surrounding areas, and;
