I have only just been told about the Plans and have written in haste.

I am writing to express my deep concern over these proposals for two of these sites. The first adjacent to my property to the west on Low Road, GNLP2057, and School road site GNLP2054.

The land GNLP2057, and the fields to the back of my property are a constant source of flood water in heavy rain, which renders our toilet on the ground level unusable for several periods in winter. It has also been the cause of constant flooding into our ditch, neighbouring properties, and has caused considerable nuisance and damage over the years including claims for thousands of pounds of damaged flooring.

The site in School Road is no better and the natural stream along the boundary of the roads channels rain water into the triangle of the bottom of School Road which carries the ditch water from our ditch.

The flood water has been known to run like a tide over the complete field and into our garden. Last winter the flood at the front of the field at Low Road aquaplaned a car into a field and telegraph pole.

The second issue is the danger of the road access. The lower field sited on Low Road has no road access. The track on the map for the Old Hall belongs only to the Old Hall properties and no access has been granted, as is the line of trees and the ditch to the front.

The site is of great historic importance. The Old Hall is dated C1468, and of timber construction.

The field to the front and the field for planning request were involved in the battle of the roundheads and cavaliers and the Old Hall holds a fine beam branded with the Wolsey arms, branded by the parliamentarians who occupied the house. To the rear of the field for planning, on old maps and documents is a large building C1100, which was sacked.

This site should be archaeologically dug, before building on, as was our property when planning work was submitted.

The field feeds the local drain system which houses rare orchids in Church Lane and on the farm land to the front.

The village has no pub or social amenities nor has it an open church. The village shop is quite far from the site. There is little or no public transport and trips to hospital by taxi cost about £60.00.

This may be a site for cheap housing but the rates are high and this is a very expensive area to live in.

There is no mains drainage in this area to the best of my knowledge and septic tank and treatment plants are used. Drains on the road are for surface water and in high rain don't cope.

The field GNLP2057 is, while standing at the back of my property, 20ft higher than the ground floor of my house and up to the eaves. The surface water has been known to reach the back of the house. However the land to the front towards the river is 1ft above sea level.

Development in the past on this site has not improved the safety of the road, which has been closed several times this year from accidents.

I hope this makes matters clearer. I personally would not support or recommend this proposal on this site, further into the village would be safer.
