Representation ID: 495
Received: 02/10/2013
Respondent: West Horndon Parish Council
Agent: SJK Planning
Representation Summary:
7. Inadequate consideration has been given to flood risk. West Horndon has been subject to at least three serious flooding incidents since substantial development of the village took place in the mid-1950s (1958, 1981 and 2012). Each of these incidents followed very heavy rain.
Any development on the land identified 037 has significant potential to increase flood risk. This has not been properly assessed and thus its significance is unknown. Development on this land must be rejected until it can be demonstrated that any increase in flood risk is insignificant both in the area of the development and surrounding locations.
