CFS172 - Cracknell's Farm sits at least 4m higher in elevation than the adjacent Burnham Road, which is reported on the UK Gov website at high-risk of surface water flooding at the drainage ditch boundary between Cracknell's Farm and the rear gardens in Burnham Road. Building houses here will reduce the ground's ability to absorb water causing an even greater risk of flash flooding to Burnham Road. I am concerned no one will maintain the ditches when the farmer is no longer there.
