The sites R25 and R26 are not suitable for the building of this many houses because:
The sites in Blackmore proposed for housing (R25 and R26) are in an area that floods regularly, particularly R26, and the roads around it are then impassable.
The source of the River Wid is to the north of Blackmore and it goes under Red Rose Lane on the east side and over it when flooding.
If the land on these sites is built on it will be less absorbent than the green field currently there and the flood and drainage problems will get worse.
