The proposed developments in Blackmore would fall within a critical drainage area. Run-off from so many new houses with their concrete surrounding, hard surfaces would increase the speed of flooding in the centre of the established village below. May there not be overflowing sewage issues too. We have been told that climate change may cause more frequent storms. Having witnessed the speed of surface water flowing across fields, I have great concerns for our church, a centre of village life, in future years.
I believe that a number of new houses have been erected in recent years, so perhaps a more gradual approach should be adopted in a pastoral area of Green Belt land.
