The SUDs at the Bloor homes development in nearby Cheswick Green have proved inadequate to prevent flooding in Cheswick Green. (See Solihull.gov.uk flood report below)
The BL2 development would further increase the risk of flooding in Cheswick Green, as Cheswick Green is downstream of BL2. I am concerned that if the SUDs at BL2 are built to the same specification as those in Cheswick Green, they will be inadequate to prevent increased flood risk in Cheswick Green.
In my opinion both the SUDs in Cheswick Green, and the SUDs at the proposed BL2 site need to be rebuilt/built to a higher specification eg to prevent flooding of surrounding area in a 1 in a 1000 year event.
