Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22571

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Sheena Carmichael

Representation Summary:

Definitely support Option B. Much of the Weald is clay, and the land is very poor at absorbing excess water. The geology (as well as the geography) needs to be taken into account when designing SuDS systems. Also, many villages have old water and sewage infrastructure which is not capable of taking additional housing. This is not properly assessed in planning applications.
