Where development is necessary in a flood risk area, it must be demonstrated that it will be safe, without increasing flood risk elsewhere, and be appropriately flood resilient and resistant. We are clear in our planning guidance supporting the Framework that where these tests are not met, new development should not be allowed.<\/p> Local planning authorities have a wide range of powers to tackle breaches of planning control. Failure to comply with a planning condition would normally be dealt with by serving a breach of condition notice, or an enforcement notice requiring the recipient to remedy the breach. The penalty for failing to comply with a breach of condition notice is a fine of up to £2,500 on summary conviction. For failure to comply with an enforcement notice, it is an unlimited fine.
