Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20124

Received: 27/02/2020

Respondent: Mr Graham McQueen

Representation Summary:

Surface water from the adjacent "Hops Development" passes via off-site attenuation into a pond, thence by pipe to a ditch in Seamere Road, then under the highway to another ditch. Within approx. 200 metres, ownership (and responsibility for maintenance) changes five times, ie three private landowners, Anglian Water and NCC Highways. This system also takes surface water from Norwich Road, Ringers Lane, Bears Lane and Seamere Road, which floods severely within minutes of heavy rainfall. Surface water from GNLP0520 must not be permitted to use the same route, when its direct course would be parallel to PROW Hingham F9.
