The proposals cause increased vulnerability to climate change. Fields that capture water will be overbuilt, increasing surface water run off into the Green and surrounding lanes including Redrose lane. This area already floods regularly under heavy rainfall, the incidence has been increasing in recent years, and is expected to increase further with climate change. Increased flooding risks damage to property in the Green, Blacksmith’s Alley and Church Street, and cuts off road access to Ingatestone and Chelmsford. No expert opinion has been sought on this risk in advance of the proposal. The plans are not sound or positively prepared.
