The proposed development has failed to provide sufficient information to demonstrate the continued use of the culvert would not adversely affect the capacity and operation of the watercourse or increase flood risk. In the absence of adequate details the Local Planning Authority the proposal would result in an increase in flood risk. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policy D1 of the Sedgemoor District Local Plan 2011–2032 and paragraph 181 and 182 of the NPPF, which requires development to reduce flood risk overall and ensure that flood risk is not increased elsewhere.
