Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries
Representation ID: 61890
Received: 16/01/2014
Respondent: Mrs Mavis Bruce
Representation Summary:
-The site is in Kingswood not Rowington. Lapworth and Rowington are separate.
-There is great risk of flooding.
-A gabion wall (if erected) would displace water and reduce existing flood water storage and potentially increase existing property flooding.
-The culvert which passes under Old Warwick Road already means houses, gardens, shops and garages flooded during heavy rain. A restricted water culvert under the feeder canal will worsen this.
-Old Warwick Road already becomes impassable during flooding incidents.
-I am concerned that my property, which has not been flooded, will flood because of the displacement of water away from proposed developments.
