Representation Summary:

Flood risk in Blackmore is already of major significance due to the proximity of the River Wid. A full investigation by the Environment Agency should be commissioned before any further sites are considered for development, particularly Sites R25 and R26. Flooding already exists in the vicinity of Red Rose lane, as highlighted in searches when I moved to Blackmore. Further development in this location is not sustainable as existing drainage can't cope already.
