Welsh Government: Further reading
The Welsh Government has confirmed that future developments in Wales will have to take into account possible flooding and coastal erosion risk caused by climate change.
In a UK first, developers will have to work with flood risk and coastal erosion maps that not only show current risk levels, but also the risk posed by climate change.
The new planning policy advice known as Technical Advice Note 15, or TAN 15 for short, will inform future local development plans and decisions on planning applications in areas at risk of flooding and coastal erosion.
It will be used by the Welsh Government, local planning authorities and developers to direct development away from areas at risk of flooding and coastal erosion.
