Harbury Lane floods, regularly - this site is therefore totally unsuitable....please ask any local resident for their local knowledge on flood areas, don't rely on reports from those who do not know or live in the vicinity.

I have lived in Harbury all my live and of course know the area extremely well. The roads that surround the Football Club at GT04 are serious flood areas. The land on either side of Harbury Lane is in many places higher than the road which also causes major flooding issues. This road has always flooded, please ask any local person and they will tell you - I do not know what DEFRA or Environmental reports tell you regarding flooding along these roads but if they are not highlighting a flooding issue to you then they are very very wrong - I am amazed to see that GT04 is a preferred option for a site simply due to the awful drainage in this area!
