The maps are based on information provided by the Environment Agency and<br />

the British Geological Society. The maps contain three development advice<br />

zones which are attributed to different planning actions, see Table F1.1 below.<br />

Table F1.1 TAN15 Development Advice Zones<br />

Description of Zone Use within the precautionary framework<br />

A Considered to be a little or no risk of fluvial or coastal/tidal<br />

flooding<br />

B Areas known to have been flooded in the past evidenced by<br />

sedimentary deposits<br />

C Based on Environment Agency extreme flood outline, equal to or<br />

greater than 0.1% (river, tidal or coastal)<br />

C1 Areas of the floodplain which are developed and serviced by<br />

significant infrastructure, including flood defences.<br />

C2 Areas of the floodplain without significant flood defence<br />

infrastructure.<br />

F1.11 THE CIVIL CONTINGENCIES ACT, 2004 AND THE CLIMATE CHANGE ACT 2008<br />

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) Regulations 2005 affords<br />

powers and responsibilities to Category 1 and 2 Responders for significant event<br />

situations, which includes flooding in addition to matters such as terrorist<br />

threat. Responders have defined responsibilities under the Act, which<br />

represent <strong>com</strong>pliance requirements.<br />

Requirements concerning adaptation to climate change, including flood risk<br />

adaptation, have also been introduced through the Climate Change Act 2008.<br />

Requirements for reporting on adaptation risks and capabilities are currently<br />

available in consultation draft for defined ‘Reporting Authority’ categories<br />

which include public and private bodies.<br />

F1.12 DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2002)<br />

Development policies of relevance in terms of geology, water resources and<br />

flooding are listed below.<br />

• ENP 1: Pollution<br />

• ENP 3: Water Resources<br />

• ENP 4: Foul and Surface Water Drainage<br />

• ENP 6: Flooding<br />
