Representation Summary:
Flooding has always been a major issue for Blackmore and is recognised as a Critical Drainage Area in the plan, but the Inspectors have removed the comment that the development may impact surface water flooding. There is also no mention at all about fluvial flooding which is ignored. Removing 2 large fields will just make the situation worse. The suggestion of digging 2 ponds on the site as a solution is unworkable as at times of heavy rain the water table is at ground surface level. With more extreme weather predicted this situation will only worsen.
