strategy of BMDC is obvious as to build on these 2 fields, then next ones and then infill from main street. but..addingham already suffers serious flooding due run-off water ( not the wharfe) filling culverts on main street. Cellars have been flooded in all those that exist on main street at least 5 times in last 10 years. the culverts are too small and are broken, so that i believe there to be a serious risk of sink holes appearing on main street. Has the council done any ground survey work to find out the extent of this problem? try from the crown to the fleece.
I have no problem with extra housing IF the flooding problem is tackled and alleviated. by taking away fields and adding concrete roads/paths/driveways, it can ONLY increase the problem
