NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The development of a new Floods Bill for Northern Ireland is due to be progressed. The Bill will provide a wider range of duties and powers for the effective delivery of Flood Risk Management. These i

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

There is a general presumption against the erection of buildings or other structures over the line of a culverted watercourse in order to facilitate replacement, maintenance or other necessary operati

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

It is acknowledged that in exceptional circumstances, culverting of a section of a watercourse may be unavoidable. This may apply where there are insurmountable inherent structural problems such as sl

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

Water impounding structures such as reservoirs or dams constitute a potential source of flood risk that can have serious consequences. Flooding of downstream areas within what is known as the area of

Any proposed development for essential infrastructure, such as for emergency services / depots, transport or utilities and also development for the storage of hazardous substances will need to demonst

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The replacement of a building within a flood inundation area will generally be acceptable as in most cases this ought not to affect the potential future flood risk area. Where the Flood Risk Assessmen

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

Passive resistance is where the flood mitigation is permanently in place. This is generally more feasible in new developments where the property is designed so that flood water is excluded from the bu

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

This may be appropriate in permeable types of ground, such as sand and gravels, where high ground water and flood water is able, under pressure, to infiltrate into the property from below the foundati

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

This measure may be used to prevent flood water or high groundwater entering the building. It involves the use of solid concrete walls and floors, which are then sealed with waterproof membranes / she

NI-wide·PPS 15 Planning and Flood Risk (Revised)

The building structure is designed using flood resistant materials that are able to reduce or stop the infiltration of water through the external walls. Solid walls can be constructed instead of cavit
