Representation Summary:

As NPPF (6.47) directs development away from areas of highest flood risk and, when deciding planning applications, seeks to ensure that flood risk is not increased elsewhere, the suggestion that the Knole Road Site could be developed with a substantial number of hereditaments, immediately opposite the 4/5 storey Victorian listed terrace, with occupied basements, is clearly a contradiction.

SuDS (6.53) recognises the value of open space recreation and therefore the Knole Road site, in its entirety, should not be lost. It is stated under item 9 (p.38) that "potential increases in flood risk from urban development, land use change and climate change" is recognised in the requirement for sustainable drainage (SuDS) in accordance with Policy DEN5. Any loss of the green open space would impair surface water drainage in an area with a high water table resulting in frequent cellar flooding in surrounding properties.
