Renewed concerns are expressed over plans to build new homes on land “prone to flooding”.
Landowner Merton College said the proposed homes would “improve, not worsen, the current flooding situation”Residents have said they are “disappointed” over plans to build hundreds of new homes on land “prone to flooding”.Both councils now appear to have dropped reservations over flooding after accepting developers’ claims the new homes would not add to flood risk.A planning appeal hearing was launched in February by landowner Merton College after the councils initially rejected the proposals.
They said the information provided from the sustainable drainage systems scheme for this site was appropriate and the county council "therefore withdrew its objection”. He said councillors had "failed to see what locals are having to live with", adding that some areas were more prone than others. Green councillor Ian Middleton said: “Much as I appreciate that the county council is bound by the limitations of national planning guidance, they have done precious little to ensure that this development will not make a difficult situation in Yarnton even worse.”
