The development will increase the flood risk to people, property and infrastructure in Blackmore, affecting the development itself and the area around the Green and Church Street, including the conservation area. Building over fields that act to contain and attenuate water flow will increase surface water run-off and exacerbate existing flooding problems in these areas. Safe access and egress will not be possible in these conditions when the roads on the Eastern side to Chelmsford and Ingatestone become impassable, which is happening with increasing frequency. The proposals should be referred to the Environment agency before any further steps are taken.
