We support Draft Policy J and agree that new development should be prioritised in areas at lowest risk of flooding.
We note that Strategic Growth Option SG08 (West of Warwick Group) scores relatively poorly in relation to flood risk in the HELAA Part B assessment. SLR has produced a Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment and Surface Water Drainage Strategy (Appendix 3) in support of these representations. This document considers how land at Budbrooke Lodge Farm, which forms part of SG08, could be developed in a way which ensures that development is located outside areas at risk of flooding in line with the aspirations of Draft Policy J.
With regards to surface water flood risk, SLR state at section 5.2 of their report that much of the existing surface water flood risk is likely to be caused by overland flows which pool in the topographically lower areas of the site. It is considered that appropriate management of surface water via SuDS systems can appropriately manage surface water flows across the site.
Overall, it is considered that flood risk does not pose a significant constraint to residential development at land at Budbrooke Lodge Farm. Any areas of the site which are at risk of flooding will not contain built development and can instead be utilised to provide high quality public open space for new and existing residents.
