equirements for embodied carbon but this may be revisited through the SiteAllocations and Development Management Policies DPD.Coastal Zone Management5.14.32 In coastal areas, the NPPF requires local planning authorities to takeaccount of the UK Marine Policy Statement and marine plans and applyintegrated Coastal Zone Management to ensure the integration of andterrestrial and planning regimes. It further states that risks arising from coastalchange should be reduced by avoiding inappropriate development invulnerable areas or adding to impacts of physical changes to the coast. Areaslikely to be affected by physical changes to the coast should be identified asCoastal Change Management Areas and policies applied as appropriate.5.14.33 Marine planning, including the preparation of Marine Plans, will becarried out by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Marine Plansmust be consistent with the Marine Policy Statement and they will make asignificant contribution towards coastal integration. They will guide developersabout where they are likely to be able to carry out activities or whererestrictions may be placed on what they do.5.14.34 The Thames Estuary falls within a proposed Marine Planning Zonebut the Marine Management Organisation has not yet started work on aMarine Plan for this area. Until the implications of this work are fullyunderstood, it is premature for the Council to pre-empt the outcome of themarine planning process. In the interim, the MMO is being consulted underthe Duty to Co-operate. Policy CS12 on Green Infrastructure seeks to ensurethat there is no net loss of biodiversity in the Borough and that opportunities toenhance it are sought which should ensure that the Council's policies arecompatible with Natural England's proposed Thames Estuary MarineConservation Zone. Also of relevance in this respect is the EnvironmentAgency's work on: the Greater Thames Coastal Habitat Management Plan;the Thames River Basin Management Plan; and the emerging TE2100 Plan.184
Policy CS18: Climate ChangeFlood Risk5.14.35 With the exception of the previously developed sites along theThames Riverside (see policies CS03, CS04 and CS05), development willbe directed sequentially to those areas at least risk of flooding.5.14.36 Proposals in areas at risk of flooding must be accompanied by aFlood Risk Assessment and, if required, a Flood Risk Management Planto demonstrate that they are adequately defended and safe. Planningpermission will be refused for schemes which do not pass thesequential and exception tests.5.14.37 The Council will prioritise the maintenance, improvement orreplacement of flood defence infrastructure over other land uses whererelevant.Sustainable Drainage and Surface Water Run-Off5.14.38 The Council will seek to minimise the impact of drainage fromnew development on waste water systems. In particular, the Councilwill:• Require that surface water run-off from all new development hasno greater adverse impact than the existing use;• Require the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems on alldevelopments where technically and financially feasible.Water Demand Management5.14.39 The Council will seek to manage the supply of water in theBorough and reduce the impact of new development on the supply ofpotable water as much as possible. In particular, the Council will:• Require all new homes to be built to at least level 3/4 of the Codefor Sustainable Homes in terms of water use (105 litres per personper day consumption).
