Details
Strategic Flood Risk Assessments (SFRAs) are an important part of the way Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) make decisions. This includes how to keep the risk of flooding to a minimum in new developments. This project investigated whether SFRAs are an effective tool for partners, such as LPAs and the Environment Agency, to work together to achieve the objectives of the planning process.

Mast concerns IT CAME as a big surprise to learn from my local residents’ association that a re-application has been received by our BCP planning department to install a 20m (65ft) high 5G monopole tower with six antennas, two transmission dishes atop plus four ground level equipment cabinets in a residential area on a small recreational parcel of public land next to Talbot roundabout. One of the declared commercial beneficiaries of this installation is Huawei. Further investigation revealed that the applicant is only legally obliged to put up small discreet laminated posters near the installation site for them to be able to cite that they have fully engaged with the local neighbourhood and community.
