The SA document is very detailed and comments on individual statements are difficult to make without expert knowledge. Where local knowledge is available to me on the location of site 16 in the Gipsy and Traveller site appraisal I was surprised to find that this was noted to 'fall within a medium flood risk zone202'.
As this area is a pond and is specifically designed as a rainwater run-off for the by-pass I would have classed this as permanently flooded and thus extremely high risk!
This error does cast doubt on the usefulness of the whole document.
