The plan is unsound as it includes SP2 as an allocated site for 41 houses. The summary states that the design must be sensitive yet the surface water flood risk must be mitigated. The specific nature of this site means that these 2 criteria cannot be met simultaneously. Such is the extent of flood mitigation necessary for this site, when coupled with the required position of the houses directly in the area of flood risk makes the site unsuitable for development. A conclusion reached by NHDC Planning Committee in August 2016.
