Yes, with considerations in mind.

Whilst the HS2 train line offers an opportunity for a defensible boundary, it is important to consider how it interacts with the local environment. There are references to a viaduct in this area. Whilst this would have less impact on surface water run-off than an embankment, the development itself is likely to impact potential flooding in the northern part of the site. The concept masterplan shows a minimal amount of Sustainable Drainage System in the area of potential effect. Whilst more detailed analysis would clearly be forthcoming during any planning process, it is important to clarify the interaction between HS2 plans and this development at an early stage. Retrospective changes are likely to be very costly and run the risk of damage to residents' property. The fact that this location has been proposed for the school and high density housing is of some concern with regards to flooding. Whilst I recognise the benefit of higher densities offering greater shielding/screening from HS2, this location runs the risk of both exacerbating the issues to a greater extent (with large areas of tarmac around schools) and exposing more people to greater risk from flooding. Ensuring permeability of surface treatments would be a minimum, but rigorous SuDS and Flood Management Plans would be essential before bringing these plans forward further.
