Site Proposals document

Respondent: MR Edward Snow

Representation Summary:

I expect if development of the site was to be undertaken, that flood prevention measures would be put in place to stop the new development from be flooded. This would cause the flood water to spread elsewhere and my fear being it would spread across and put Wramplingham under significantly more risk than it is already.

Following a recent village leaflet drop I became aware of the GNLP development plans, unfortunately due to recent work commitments I have been unable to put my thoughts into writing.

It was pointed out to me that today was the deadline for objections or supporting comments to be made, but I was unable to register on the official site until tonight only to find the site stopped taking comments as of 17:00.

The comments I can see relating to the above specific proposal do not appear to capture any potential impact on neighbouring Wramplingham.

My observation can be expressed in simple terms just Sir Isaac Newton said, 'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction', and relates to the fact that a large area of the site falls within a flood risk area.

I expect if development of the site was to be undertaken, that flood prevention measures would be put in place to stop the new development from be flooded. This would cause the flood water to spread elsewhere and my fear being it would spread across and put Wramplingham under significantly more risk than it is already.

I would ask that this point be considered irrespective of whether or not it is too late to lodge a formal objection, although it is for the above reason that I would like my view to be lodged as a formal objection if possible?

Many thanks for your conisation
