The changes do not go far enough. There are parts of Blackmore that site within flood risk zone 3 and any development on surrounding green belt will increase these risks. I appreciate further measures have been put in place but, based on the history of this LDP, do not believe that these will be properly carried out. ECC has reviewed the surface water flood risk but nothing has been done to review the fluvial risk from the River Wid which is significant and needs to be properly explored. The current plan puts existing homes at risk which is unacceptable.
