I appreciate that this looks a very choice plot of land. The first aspect is the drainage issues, which plague this area. Our experiences with recent developments are that the flow of any surface water within the site will be disrupted. The impact of the Persimmon development in Occupation Lane gives residents no confidence that these will be adequately addressed and those on this site are likely to be more substantial. If the surface water is to be contained within the site, which it needs to be a clear demonstration of how this will be achieved needs to be provided before planning permission is given. Secondly, failure to achieve this will increase the flow into the rivers Worth and Aire enhancing the problems of areas that are already flood-prone (both locally and downstream).
