Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 14087

Received: 15/03/2018

Respondent: Ms Karen Dunn Hughes

Representation Summary:

The Environment Agency recognises a high flood risk from surface water on this field where 7 dwellings have received planning permission. The solution to keeping the ditches clear is not enforceable and the attenuation pond will be for 7 dwellings. How will it cope with the downhill flow of 38 extra properties? There's been recent flooding to a curtilage close to this site. The ditches can barely cope now, and continued development at this site would pose an increased surface water flood risk.

Highway safety issues; please refer to the SNLP Policy SPO2 and Planning Ref 2016/0627 and objections.
