The identification of sites at Blackmore is flawed, particularly due to the existing flooding issues and the potential for worsening the situation.
The sewerage system serving Blackmore is “over-capacity”. Replacing green fields with roads and housing, and adding to the already unsatisfactory situation is unsound.
To proceed without consultation with the Environment Agency is unsound.
Rain water run off [from the development of sites R25 and R26] will impact directly on the historical listed buildings in the vicinity and cause flooding in areas previously not directly affected by flooding.
The introduction of between 50 and 70 new homes in Blackmore will impact and place strain on existing infrastructure, such as the Primary School and the Medical Centre.
Site has been identified without due consideration for the impact on the existing community and is therefore unsound.
