The village has experience regular surface water flooding problems and the measures taken to date by the council have failed to stop the problem. The known flooding of the River Wid has not even been raised, even though it is identified as high risk on the Essex County Council Flood risk map.
The village has experience regular surface water flooding problems and the measures taken to date by the council have failed to stop the problem. This item has been downplayed in the LDP and the Inspectors have tried to cover it up by removing words that highlight the issue. Since the new development has been built in Red rose Lane there are pictures from the latest flooding incident showing significant water flow rushing off the site and into Red Rose Lane making the existing flood water deeper and much worse, Covering two even bigger fields for R25 and R26 will massively increase this problem, and Climate Change will make it so much worse. The known flooding of the River Wid has not even been raised, even though it is identified as high risk on the Essex County Council Flood risk map.
