GNLP0582 - Development here would not be a good idea as chapel road already has flooding issues after prolonged heavy rain and the ground next to the entrance in newton road also gets underwater. The gardens of the houses on the east side of the road get flooded. The land behind there is basically a swamp and the wooded area is underwater in winter. The drainage system in Hainford is inadequate at the moment so further development here would be adding to the problem.

GNLP0512 - Development in Lady lane whist the land is not wet, any drainage flows down to Newton road. On the corner of the junction with Lady Lane and Newton road there is already a problem with the drainage ditches which can not cope in wet weather and the ditches stand full of water and cannot run away because of the overload of water and the saturation of the land around.
The water table is very high in Hainford and the drainage ditches cannot get rid of the excess water, putting large areas under concrete will make matters worse.

This area I presume will be entered off Grange Road opposite Grange Farm. This is a large area with regard to drainage. If this development went ahead I would hope that the drains would go in the direction of Buxton Road if on the other hand the drainage was directed to Grange road. This would be a huge problem for the existing road and properties at the end near the village green. As the ditches here can barely cope and flooding has occurred. The woodland around the old hall is underwater most of the winter.
