No to the proposal for the land at the end of Lindsey Rd. We live here and it was so difficult and expensive to get insurance due to its proximity to flood plain land. Seriously, don't be stupid, stop building on or near to flood plains! We all know developers will promise this and that to help make things safe but 1/ it won't work, the only thing that prevents or helps against floods are large areas of natural land and 2/ Whatever they propose won't happen anyway.
Also this is right next to the common which has become more and more of a wildlife haven and the surrounding areas. Human encroachment into natural areas has to stop, but the key thing here is seriously stop building near flood plains when sea levels are rising!
