Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft
Representation ID: 87
Received: 19/10/2016
Respondent: Dr Geoff Lawrence
Support Policy NE7:
Orchard Way/Broom Grove in Knebworth, floods frequently. Not surprising, given these houses were built on a Chalk Bourne, one that appears on the National Risk Map. Apparently, the problem is exacerbated by the County building the A1 Motorway over the upper reaches of the Bourne without any sluices. Let's hope the regulations re-potential flooding are enforced more rigorously for the development that this Plan proposes!
