Development Advice Maps

Welsh Government has written to Local Authorities advising of updated data on the Development Advice Maps used as the starting point for checking flood risk under TAN15. 

The changes relate to the key C Zones take effect immediately.

From a quick check there are some changes particularly around the margins of the C zones.  This can make a significant difference to the acceptability of developments in principle depending on the status of the land. 

We advise on the planning impacts of being in a flood risk zone at earliest stages to ensure you get the right advice to manage and consider risk so your development proposals properly consider its impacts.
