Please remove this site from the development plan. It is part of the vital green corridor for wildlife in the area. Also it would impinge on a currently unspoilt skyline. Most importantly it would increase the flooding risk to the houses on the Middlebrook estate by removing greenfield soakaway.
These houses flooded internally for the 1st time ever in Feb 2020 and any change in the area which causes more water to flow into Clayton Beck or Pitty Beck is unfair to existing residents. Builders will argue that they can compensate for lack of soakaway, but it practice they cannot. Deep lane has been closed for some time due to instability of the land. Therefore there is a danger of landslides if the land is disturbed. Please do not allow any building on this site.
