Representation Summary:

[Re CFS072]

I live in [REDACTED], ashtree court. It is a farmhouse that dates back to 1840 There are barely any foundations due to its age. This property is showing as 9ft above sea level and is built on a high flood risk. Building on land prone to flooding is a risk to new homeowners and compounds the danger for surrounding areas.

The whole of Ashtree court range from the measurements of 9ft - 15ft above sea level which is seriously low and a high flood risk.

My neighbour in Mille Fleurs has a storm drain in her garden of which we are also connected and they overflow.
Due to the age of Ashtree house, all our waste and water flows into one drain of which overflows 2-3 times a year from heavy rain of which is mixed with sewage.

Our direct neighbour Holly Cottage has a colony of Common pipistrelle bats residing in their loft of which will be disturbed by the noise of new developments and the removal of tress and hedgerows.

Our house - Ashtree house, Holly cottage and Mille fleurs overlook beautiful peaceful fields of which were the primary reason of purchasing and we would become overlooked with a loss of privacy, and loss of daylight.
The schools in the area are already oversubscribed and Stambridge road and Ashingdon road is already at a standstill with traffic at peak times
