In July 2021 the Framework was strengthened further to ensure that all<\/em> sources of flood risk are considered during plan making and providing a clear definition of what it means for a property to be resilient to flooding.

Where development is necessary in a flood risk area and there are no suitable sites available in areas with a lower probability of flooding, it should be safe and not increase flood risk elsewhere. The policy is underpinned by planning guidance which is clear: local councils must consider the strict tests in policy that protect people and property from flooding, and where these tests are not met, development should not be allowed.<\/p> Between 2013 and 2015 8% of newly created residential addresses in England were in the National Flood Zone 3. DCLG Land Use Change Statistics cover only England.<\/p> Estimates for individual local authorities are provided in Live Table 321 of Land Use Change Statistics, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-onland-use-change-statistics<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
