Lincolnshire’s local water utility has recently made it known that it may withhold support for future housing developments in areas prone to flooding. This potential decision could bear significant implications for future planning permissions throughout the county. Developers may find that they need to address and mitigate these flood risk issues within their proposals in order to secure approval. Further emphasis has been given by the water company to the importance of protecting communities from flood threats, a critical concern within a region where effective water management is a key issue.
