Para C 2 a - accepting that Blackmore has a critical drainage problem why build so many houses here uphill from the existing village? We experience almost monthly impassable roads due to flooding but more importantly houses get severely flooded - particularly Aug. 1987 when about 15 houses and St Laurence Grade 1 Church were flooded, and June 2016 when sewage backed up into several houses.
There is already frequent permitted discharge of sewage into The Moat which drains into the River Wid ending up in Chelmsford.
