Respondent: Cheswick Green Parish Council
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to Site BL2 on number of grounds (see reps):
Flood Risk:
- Policy BL2 and updated evidence give no assurance that development will not worsen the current flooding situation for existing residents in Cheswick Green.
- Policy BL2 3 (ii) only refers to flood alleviation as ‘likely’ infrastructure requirement, and not properly considered flood risk evidence, which acknowledges flood risk exists and identifies there is a need to address flooding issues. - Should include solutions or recommendations in policy now to ensure that flooding issues will be addressed, beyond simply SUDs.
- Not satisfactory to rely on planning application process as principle of development will have been established then.
