The northerly part of KB2 has, after prolonged rainfall, become waterlogged, causing surface water to flow eastward onto Gypsy Lane, blocking road drainage and overflowing into gardens and houses in Orchard Way, across Orchard Way and pooling into Broom Grove, to a depth sufficient to flow into some of the houses. Development of the KB2 site, will decrease the absorption area of the site, increasing the potential frequency for this flooding.
