88 Land subject to inundation
(1) Consent shall not be granted to development on land that in the opinion of
the consent authority is subject to inundation unless the consent authority is
satisfied that the proposed development would not-- (a) adversely impede the
flow of flood waters on that land or on land in its immediate vicinity, or
(b) imperil the safety of persons on that land or on land in its immediate
vicinity, or
(c) aggravate or be likely to result in erosion, siltation or
the destruction of vegetation, or
(d) cause any adverse effect on the water
table of the land or of the land in its immediate vicinity.
(2) Nothing in
this clause prevents the consent authority granting consent for the carrying
out of reasonable repairs to, renovation of, alterations to, extensions to,
additions to or to a different use of, an existing building, if there will be
no resulting increase in flood risk on the land concerned or on other land in
its immediate vicinity.
(3) The consent authority may, as a condition of
consent, require-- (a) the floor level of a building to be at a height
sufficient, in its opinion, to prevent the flooding or to reduce the incidence
of flooding of that building or of adjoining land in its immediate vicinity,
and
(b) any portion of a building or structure below the height set in
accordance with paragraph (a) to be built from flood compatible materials.
