Redrose Lane in a flood plan and taking 4 hectares of meadow land with ancient hedgerows and ditches and replacing them with house, concrete and tarmac will make flooding worse. Vast sections of Blackmore is flooded by downpours coupled with the River Wid where water enters ditches. I lost my car in this lane when a surge of water from field R26 in minutes entered into the foot wells. Much flooding in areas makes roads and lanes impassable. Also Redrose Lane is not a road, it has no pavement and is used by dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Cars make this lane dangerous as it is a single track. Sewers and drainage capacity in Blackmore are at their maximum and this should be taken more seriously.
