In view of the very serious flooding in the vicinity of the proposed development, it would seem a poor choice of land!
My own house only just escaped flooding some years ago when the adjoining properties were seriously damaged by flood water to a depth of 3 ft or more when the gullies could not cope.

My house is situated at the low part of Plumberow Avenue and would be in serious risk of flooding if the natural woodland soakaway is removed. The existing drainage has already proved to be vulnerable to excess water and to add more housing and ground consolidation near to this low ground area would be a serious mistake.

When the last flooding occurred, home owners were out of their houses for some 8 months and this must not be allowed to happen again.

Also disruption to the wildlife Park and Greenbelt!
