QRA’s Land Use Planning Team Projects: • Grantham and Tully Heads/ Hull Heads – priority areas for rebuild • Floodplain Management – strategic project • Critical Infrastructure – specifically focussed on electrical infrastructure • Strategic Land Use Assessments to inform new planning schemes and ensure recent events are taken into account
- 19. Increasing resilience – a geographers’ contribution • Focus on hazard areas – which areas of town ? • Analyse results in levels of risk for land use purposes – low, medium and high • Which parts of town are at ‘high’ risk ? – retreat from these areas • Other properties closer to centre of town ‘low’ or ‘medium’ risk – adapt these areas to the risk
