I am objecting on the basis of the increased risk of flooding.
P97 Sect 18.5 especially makes reference to the need to ..."ensure that new development does not increase surface wtaer flooding"
The area around Hinton's nursey and the Saxon Mill are often flooded by run off from the higher fields - exactly the location of the proposed develoment.
The extra hardlandscaping and associated foundations works will make this a more common and serious event; works to mitigate any such problems by creating extra drainage will destroy a section of ridge and furrow pasture.
