IPS REF: 631



Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system, is therefore
subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural hazards, risk and resilience within the
SPP. The subject land is mapped as erosion prone area by the SPP interactive mapping system. An
assessment of the proposed development against the relevant assessment benchmarks of the SPP is
provided in Table 9 below.
