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

Representation ID: 22977

Received: 08/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Sally Page

Representation Summary:

My main objection is that we already suffer flooding in times of heavy rain. The flow of water from the proposed site drains down, does not enter the drains on main street but pools in our garden which seems to be at the low point on the small un-named lane between the proposed estate and the Farleys Way estate. Any further hard surface must inevitably make the problem worse. Extensive remedial ground works are essential to improve drainage.

The lack of employment and dire public transport should preclude further large scale development. The only amenity is the very good shop.

Dear Sir,

I doubt the wisdom of development on the site suggested by your planners.

My main objection is that we already suffer flooding in times of heavy rain (photo of our front garden enclosed.) The flow of water from the proposed site drains down from the site and as you can see from the enclosed photograph, does not enter the road drains on main street but pools in our garden which seems to be at the low point of the 5 properties on the small un-named lane between the proposed estate and the Farleys Way estate. Any further hard surface must inevitably make the problem worse. I suggest that extensive remedial ground works are essential to improve the drainage of the proposed site.

I also think that before the population of the village of Peasmarsh is increased by a considerable amount, the lack of employment and dire public transport should preclude further large scale development. The only amenity in Peasmarsh is the very good shop.
