Representation Summary:
Concern about drainage if built on top fields of Red House Farm. Terrain fairly level but definite trend of land to slope away south/south eastwards towards River Leam and most easterly part of site falls through 2 x 25 foot contours. Foul and surface water sewers would drain across farmland rather than into existing Lillington sewers. Will these be installed or pumped to existing sewers.
Recent flooding in Lillington as drainage overloaded. Although alleviation schemes completed/planned, will sewers cope with additional houses?
Entirely new system needed with added expense/inconvenience which should be borne by owner of farm.
