To require Strategic Flood Risk Assessment to inform the location of development. This option would strengthen the role of SFRA within the development planning process. Significant positive effects on the water environment and flood risk management could be expected. There may also be secondary benefits for population and health where the option is more effective in avoiding and addressing flood risk. Minor secondary benefits may also arise in relation to climate change adaptation. To increase requirements for sustainable design measures to assist with flood risk management. This option would ensure that the built environment, design and placemaking makes a more direct contribution to flood risk management. Significant positive effects on the water environment and flood risk management could be expected. There may also be secondary benefits for population and health where the option is more effective in avoiding and addressing flood risk. This type of design could have mixed effects on cultural heritage, and would require sensitive planning and consenting. There may be secondary benefits for other receptors, particularly biodiversity where the option leads to increased naturalisation of the built environment. Minor secondary benefits may also arise in relation to climate change adaptation. To not require planning where the Controlled Activities Regulations apply. This option aims to streamline the consenting process, and is not expected to generate environmental impacts, given that the Controlled Activities Regulations would address impacts on the water environment. scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2013/04/3435/11
