Our main concern at this site would be the provision of an adequate drainage system to manage surface water flows. Any planning application would need to be supported by a flood risk assessment which focused on this aspect. We are aware of Natural Englands serious concerns over impacts of development on the existing hydro-geological catchment which feeds the adjacent SSSI. The applicant would need to demonstrate that any drainage system would adequately manage flood risk whilst also protecting the integrity of the SSSI. We would expect to see a SUDs scheme take account of quantity, quality and amenity issues.
