Due to global warming, water currently locked up as ice in sea etc is melting and by 2100 is expected to cause sea levels to rise by 300mm. This needs to be planned for, as valuable farmland and built-up areas become inundated. An at risk would be useful.

Global warming will cause extreme weather with hotter, dryer summers and colder wetter winters. Farming will be affected which should not be built on. Construction contributes 40% of carbon emissions. The ‘Future Homes Standard’ will force developers to build in a more environmental and sustainable way, deserves mention in the Local Plan.
