Blackmore has a long history of flooding, removing 2 large green fields will make the situation worse and is contrary to government guidelines. With climate change this is just the situation the government are advising we should avoid as fields soak up excess water and slow flood waters. This is irresponsible BBC needs to think long term not just go for quick fix.
Blackmore does not meet government criteria for a class 3 village, should be class 4. We have only 1 proper shop, 1 part time ladies hairdresser and a coffee shop. Blackmore has a long history of flooding, removing 2 large green fields will make the situation worse and is contrary to government guidelines. With climate change this is just the situation the government are advising we should avoid as fields soak up excess water and slow flood waters. This is irresponsible BBC needs to think long term not just go for quick fix. BBC did not carry our exceptional circumstances test, otherwise they would have identified available brownfield sites, 12 houses were built on such a site in 2020/21 in Red Rose Lane Blackmore.
