Request
I would like to make a request under the Environmental Information Regulations.
I would like to know the number of homes in your council's area that have been granted planning permission contrary to the EA's flood risk advice.
The request is for the period: 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2024.
I would like this information broken down by calendar year: 2009-10, 2010-11 etc.
Included in this information, I would like:
• Details of each scheme to help identify it, i.e. planning reference number or address
I note that in the EA's flood and coastal erosion risk management report from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, it was noted that there were 267 homes granted permission contrary to flood risk advice.
