Flooding is not only due to rivers. there has been a number of serious cases of flooding on land west of 1E, plan 5, from run off from fields. What will the effect of a drastic increase in hardstanding be?

No building should take place on flood plain. Climate change is long term so these areas need to be protected.

Any development in the King's Hill area, which suffers from flooding, can only worsen the situation by further reducing the lands ability to absorb excess water.

- This Flood Risk policy area should be informed by the Habitat Biodiversity Audit as an evidence base to identify, promote and protect natural flood storage areas. Such areas could be identified within an SPD as areas of restraint.

FLOODING, FLOOD ZONES. ETC.
The eastern side of Kings Hill is designated as a zone 3 flood area by the Environment Agency.
From official reports from Coventry City Council and Severn Trent, the incidence of the flooding of homes in Finham its area and further to the south in Stoneleigh, Ashow and other settlements during recent years is already very noticeable. Those reported are logged comprehensively. The Environment Agency and other bodies have already expressed deep concern about more flooding in these areas as a result of developing Kings Hill.
The flood area is a natural soak area for water to be dispensed via the natural geological strata. It is noted that much of Kings Hill has disused clay pits which suggests that the under strata has noticeable areas of impermeable marl which, if disturbed will result in major drainage problems and geological changes resulting in long term movement of foundations, flooding downstream, change in water tables along the Sowe and Avon. These areas are low lying. The result will adversely affect existing and new woodland, much ancient, agricultural land and increase the incidents of flooding of homes.

23. Why are you proposing to build on flood plains? Householders will not be able to get insurance. In planning law, any flood alleviation schemes have to be approved by the Environment Agency but don't have to be implemented until the end of a development. The development could take years or not ever finish, such as Pottertons or Chase Meadow, and meanwhile residents are at an increased risk of flooding. Will you make it a condition of any development that flood alleviation measures are put in place before development begins?

In addition, development on the area of restraint (1E) threatens the local houses with flooding. At present, during heavy rain, the run off is slowed by the pasture and crops. It backs up by the Malins and is relieved into the Myton School playing fields.
It has been shown that any earthworks in the area floods houses. Myton Gardens was flooded .when one development was carried out. More recently a property on Myton Crescent was flooded when building work was done at the Trinity School site. Developing the Myton side of the site would threaten all of the houses south of Myton Road .

Flooding

The proposed development areas south of Harbury Lane extend to the Tach Brook between Bishops Tachbrook village and Warwick Gates. The council should not permit housing so close to a natural water course due to the risk of flooding, not only to the proposed developments but also downstream due to faster run-off from developed land compared to the existing fields.

The current climate already produces a number of heavy rain events each year which can lead to flooding. The number of these events is expected to increase over the next few decades due to climate change and therefore water retaining buffer areas around existing water courses should be preserved.

Myton Gardens was flooded when one development was carried out. More recently a property on Myton Crescent was flooded when building work was done at the old Trinity School site. Developing the Myton Road site would threaten ALL of the houses south of the Myton Road. I also give you notice that if this development is built then I expect the council to provide insurance cover should I be unable to obtain cover due to flooding as you have been warned.

Respondent: Stoneleigh & Ashow Parish Council

Object to Thickthorn site:
The proposal to build 800 houses in Eastern Kenilworth on the area of land adjacent to the A46 from Thickthorn Island towards Coventry is of great concern to the village of Ashow. Water draining from the A46 and the built up area of Eastern Kenilworth all comes down the watercourse through Ashow.
U ntil a bypass culvert was constructed there was severe flooding in the village. The water discharge from the built up area in Eastern Kenilworth and the A46 being responsible for the flooding. The "holding ponds" that were to be part of the flooding solution along with the bypass culvert have not been constructed.
There is severe ground erosion in some house gardens downstream of the new culvert's junction with the original. This erosion is due to the increase in the speed and volume of flood water flow.
Any further house build in Eastern Kenilworth is likely to add to the flood water flow. If development does take place it would be essential to survey the whole of the drainage basin. The drainage calculation data should be published. It should be noted that the drainage data from the A46 development has been lost.

Welcomes strategic policy to promote the use of sustainable flood alleviation. Primarily, Trust believes that a green infrastructure study will be a useful tool, with reference to the EA flood
risk maps, to identify and designate areas that can be naturally flooded to act as large scale flood attenuation areas and also optimal biodiversity habitat. Can in turn, contribute to the enhancement of both the biodiversity value and function of the watercourse and surrounding habitats. In addition, the Trust would welcome policies that detail the potential biodiversity value of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).
