Water Environment, Flood Risk and Green Network Guidance Consultation
This consultation ended on 14 October 2022.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to get involved. We read through all the responses and collated your feedback. This informed a report which was presented to the Council's Place, Neighbourhood and Corporate Assets Committee and approved on 26 January 2023.
On 11 August 2022, the Council approved two pieces of guidance for stakeholder consultation:
1. Water Environment and Flood Risk
2. Green Infrastructure and Green Networks (update to current guidance)
Guidance supports the Local Development Plan by providing further detail and information to assist in the determination of planning applications.
The purpose of the Water Environment and Flood Risk guidance is to provide applicants with relevant information on managing and enhancing the water environment to inform the siting, layout and design of development in East Dunbartonshire. It will bring together existing Council guidance on Flooding & Drainage and River Basin Management. This guidance will support Local Development Plan 2 Policy 18: ‘Water Environment and Flood Risk’ and will be a material consideration in the assessment of planning applications.
The Green Infrastructure and Green Network guidance is an update to existing guidance and sets out measures to ensure that development will protect, enhance and manage the existing green infrastructure and green network as an integral part of placemaking, in terms of both existing assets and new opportunities.
Representations should be sent by email to: development.plan@eastdunbarton.gov.uk by Friday 14 October 2022. Please specify clearly in your response which guidance document(s) your comments relate to.
