?this is a green field site until 2024.
Back garden of Harvest close, backing on to proposed development floods now, if heavy or prolonged rain, would worsen if further development and could affect house
Dumbs lane unsuitable for more traffic, unsafe for pedestrians now.
Chapel road, floods in several places at present, further development would increase potential flood risk.
We have lived in Harvest Close for 8 years and our house backs on to proposed development. We understood at the time of purchase that this land was a green field site for 25 years from the time the house was built in 1999. Therefore we understood there would be no possibility of this land potentially being built upon until 2024. This village has a high water table and the roads frequently flood now, with further development of this village the flooding problems could only worsen. Our back garden, which backs on to proposed development, floods now when there is a prolonged rain or a heavy downfall. Therefore if this development goes ahead we can expect our drainage and flooding problems to worsen and this could affect our house. Dumbs lane is not a suitable access, it is narrow and cars speed along this now, making it dangerous for pedestrians and Chapel road frequently floods in several places now.
