Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

This consultation seeks views on the draft Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS25) and associated with this, a new Flooding Direction and changes to the GDPO (General Development Procedure Order) to make the Environment Agency a statutory consultee for certain types of development at flood risk.

The intention is that PPS25, together with an accompanying Practice Guide, should replace Planning Policy Guidance 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPG25), published in July 2001. The aim of the revision is to focus on national planning policy and to provide clarity on what is required at regional and local levels to ensure that decisions are made at the most appropriate level and in a timely fashion to deliver sustainable planning for development and flood risk.

Note: The above publication was issued by our former department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). ODPM became Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on 5 May 2006 - all references in the text to ODPM now refer to Communities and Local Government.
