Climate Change Risks Identified
• Flood Risk• Extreme weather
events• Increased heat within
buildings and outdoors•Risks to biodiversity

Case Studies
•Workshop dealt with 4 development scenarios•Groups assessed them in terms of climate change risks•Flood risk•Green Infrastructure•Off-site flooding implications
(downstream)•Hard / impermeable surfacing issues
•How do existing policies help to manage risks?•What other policies are required?

Planning Solutions Identified
• Site Allocations DPD:- Flood risk- Green Infrastructure•Climate Change / Design SPD• Development Management checklist• Training of Members and Officers• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)• Run-off rates• Financing of off-site schemes

Risks to Implementation
• Funding constraints / prioritisation of other work• Risks to viability of developments• Insufficient understanding of costs / benefits
• Responsibility for maintaining SuDS (County level)• No local standard for sustainable building design
beyond Building Regulations• Council has no Flood Attenuation plan
•Insufficient technical knowledge / capacity•Infrastructure knowledge deficit•Member support
