Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 25670

Received: 21/07/2024

Respondent: Mrs jo barnes

Representation Summary:

This local plan is great but Blackfriars site hasn't considered this it has created ponds with storage but they don't connect back into the mains water to help with the additional requirements for the estate it will be run off only. Again blackfriars will be a burden to the water supply and consumption whilst the amount of concrete and environmental impact to build the estate will mean that water that used to be absorbed into the trees and natural habitat will now flow down hill and create problems elsewhere.

Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Respondent: Beckley Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We have water underground and with such an abundance of rain, we surely can look further than water rationing [agree on rain butts]. I sent in a representation already regarding fresh water spring outlets, this is not rocket science I think you will agree; I also mentioned unused wells in people's properties etc. I think many people will question why we have a shortage of water when it has not stopped raining from last winter ongoing till today.

The other concern is the quality of tap water, which is of poor quality and is certainly not adding to living well, anywhere.

I missed this section somehow and also I had to tick that I am 17 and under before submitting my previous comment, when I am in fact 60+ years old.
