Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Flood Risk:
- Likely site should be re-classfied as Flood Zone 2 as sports fields flood most years.
- As no properties on land, flooding has not been accurately recorded.
- EA proposed land as Critical Drainage Area
- If site to be developed a large balancing lake would be required
- Considerable amount of fill required on site
- Cost of development may not be sustainable
- LLFA investigated options to reduce flood risk in area after May 2018 severed flood event, and included Site BL1/Site 4
- Sequential test not been carried out to steer development away from flood risk areas.
