Draft Schedule of Main Modifications to Section 2 Colchester Local Plan

Representation ID: 8342

Received: 15/11/2021

Respondent: Mr michael lilley

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the whole scheme as CBC declared a Climate Emergency and then wants to convert green open space into Housing, causing more pollution and therefore makes a nonsense of the Climate Emergency.
Birch Brook is already overflowing with excess rain water and floods the back gardens of homes in Hill view Close, Rowhedge. When the area is concreted over, more surface water will have only one way to go and that's to Birch Brook. Adding to the flood risk further downstream.
Building on open land is not the way to save the Planet.

Change suggested by respondent:

dont build on the land
