Criteria 3 (see SFRA Appendix I Figure 2) A FRA to an appropriate level of detail has been carried out as part of the SEA as part of the development plan preparation process, which demonstrates that flood risk to the development can be adequately managed and the use or development of the lands will not cause unacceptable adverse impacts elsewhere Yes. Future development will: be subject to site-specific flood risk assessments; comply with the flood risk management provisions of the Plan (see Section 4 of SFRA), including the structural and non-structural risk management measures outlined at Paragraph 11.262. The potential conflict between zonings and highly and less vulnerable development will be avoided by applying the measures which have been integrated into the Plan, including those at Development Management Paragraph 11.258-11.263.
