The map indicates that one area south of Grange Road, extends down to the River Avon opposite Barton. This area is part of the floodplain and as climate change becomes more frequent, this area has flooded at least four times during the winter.
The other area of concern is to the north of Grange Road up to Tower Hill. There is a huge difference in level with the ground sloping towards Grange Road and this will present any builder with a massive logistical problem with drainage, both foul and storm. The foul drainage along Grange Road is a pumped system and part of this is within the Conservation Area.
The area to the east of Grafton lane would extend the size of the village by too much.
The area to the north east of Waterloo Road would extend the village up to the Golden Cross which would be a huge excessive development.
Similarly, the area to the west of Waterloo Road would extend the village up and into Broom. It was always my belief that the old railway line was the defining point between Broom and Bidford-on-Avon.
The areas to the west of Victoria Road, I would consider to be acceptable, along with the small area to the south of Salford Road.
