Because of the topology of the area, all the water in the immediate area gravitates towards Fieldgate Lane. When it rains heavily, as it has several times recently, the brook alongside the road is filled to the top. This brook is a key element in dealing with the surface water in the area.
Building on this proposed site will significantly reduce the permiability of the land. Thus, water will run off more quickly into the brook, which will make it highly likely to flood. This will damage the properties on the road, and probably to increased building insurance premiums.
