I have been maintaining the drainage ditches bordering part of this proposed site and there is a constant fast flow from land drains coming from the proposed site into the ditch. Despite the fields allowing for drainage there has been significant surface water flooding and the risk of this being worsened or shifting the flood water to existing neighbouring properties would be significant with the size of development suggested. School lane is also a very narrow lane to cope with any traffic increase and is risky enough to walk along during the school run at present since there are no paths and limited verges. Given the lack of easy access to public transport (it is quite a long walk along a road with no pathways) I assume there would be a substantial use of cars from the proposed site.
