The proposal to increase the proposed number of dwellings on sites R25 and R26, where in both instances the numbers had previously been reduced as the original number was not considered appropriate seems nonsensical. These proposals to build on greenfield sites on what is potentially good quality agricultural land also make no sense. The proposed developments are on the edge of, and on higher ground than, a known flood risk area. Building on the existing greenfield areas is only going to increase the flood risk to the houses within the flood zone.
Red Rose Lane, which is one of the proposed access was flooded and impassable on a number of occasions during the period of the original consultation. The alternative suggestions now added for R26 of access via Fingrith Hall Lane or Orchard Piece are also not viable as the access from Fingrith Hall Lane would require a new road either on or very close to the existing junction between Red Rose Lane and Fingrith Hall Lane, and Orchard Piece is a cul-de-sac and therefore access from there would create an unreasonable amount of disruption for existing residents of that road.
