Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

This is a general request for views from stakeholders on whether there are points in the present Planning Policy Guidance 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPG25) that need clarification, and whether you think its policies should be changed in any way. The Department seeks comments on how effectively PPG25 has been implemented, what its effect on overall flood risk has been or is likely to be, and whether it should be made more effective in balancing the need for development with the avoidance and reduction of unacceptable degrees of risk.

Should the Department proceed to revise PPG25 in the light of responses a draft Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk (PPS25) will be published for formal consultation.
