Danger of flooding - in particular to the properties at Tanners Farm and Tanners Cottage which border the brook down stream from Cubbington and would need a sustantial new flood protection scheme
Major flooding occured in 2007, when the brook flooded, becoming a raging torrent causing £50,000 of damage to the garden walls and external works of these properties. It is very difficult to see how even a major relief project could protect these properties which are down stream from the major new residential development proposed.
Future green belt encroachment of village boundary. If the planning authority are serioulsy considering this option, we believe that the southern boundary of the site should be revised to provide a more logical containment of the village.
