If your planning application has been rejected on any flood risk ground, we’re here to help you. PPS25 is part of the plan-led approach to spatial planning. The aim is to set broad policies and allocations for an area taking full account of flood risk. Once spatial plans are adopted there should be greater certainty that development can proceed in those allocated areas.

Individual planning applications which conform to plan policies should be straightforward in granting planning permission, subject to other material considerations.
