The potential impacts of flood risk and pollution to adjacent land continues to be disregarded. Also, given the surrounding topography makes surface water disposal in a controlled manner to the Hole Bottom Beck an extreme challenge and in reality, unsustainable. Indeed, any planned surface water discharge in this manner is likely to exacerbate flooding issues downstream at Fairweather Green where residents are already impacted.
Add to this the impact of additional loading placed on the existing public sewer system already under stress demonstrated by the need for additional attenuation facilities having to be put in place to accommodate recent developments.
Add into the mix: increased traffic congestion, access and highway safety issues (key challenge off Brook Lane); Additional pressure on schools, health centres and other key infrastructure & the further loss of an important social amenity & further damage to the area’s character, wildlife, and environment.
