Six of these areas are on land upstream of the pinch points in Wellesbourne on the Newbold Brook, and the River Dene.
Both watercourses flood many areas of the village, and flood over 120 properties.
Building on these areas, even with the provision of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) will increase the risk of flooding dramatically.
These areas are not suitable for development
