Topic Paper 9: Renewable Energy

Reference is made to climate change impacts on flood risk in this paper. Welsh Government advise that CL-03-16 - Climate change allowances for Planning purposes should be used. The guidance also contains details of when to use High++ allowances for peak river flow and mean sea level e.g. where developments that significantly change existing settlement patterns/developments that are very sensitive to flood risk are proposed.

Accepted. Text will be amended to clarify the approach.
