NPPF.
- When required
-
Where development is proposed that may risk creating land instability and/or affect the stability/integrity of nearby land, particularly near waterways or canals.
- Further information and guidance
-
The report should demonstrate mitigations to the risk of the development creating adverse effects on the stability of adjacent land and/or infrastructure, which should include the waterway infrastructure, and identify the extent to which mitigation measures may be needed to minimise such risks.
This includes considering the risk of creating instability through the imposition of additional loadings on structures such as waterway embankments or cutting slopes or directly on waterway structures (such as wash walls). Works on, adjacent or near the Trust’s waterways would need to comply with the Canal & River Trust “Code of Practice for Works affecting the Canal & River Trust.
